Re: [Bigsister-general] Issue with generating events

[Backup e-mail <suppressed>]

I have three Linux boxes somewhere on the Internet. They have SSH channels  with forwarding of the 1984 port to my MONITORing box (also LINUX) on my office LAN.

 

To simulate loss of connection it's easy, I just stop the SSH channel. Which I do and after about 10 min the light goes from green to purple. I wait 20, 30, ...hours but no mail and no pager script is launched. As far as the MONITORing station is concerned, the machine from whom does not receive is a DOWN machine, isn't that so?

If that is so I thought the "down=yellow"directive will generate me an event, or I haven't understood the logic. For the moment I do not have Windows machine to monitor.

 

Thanks for shining some light on this matter,
