Hi guys,

I have a number of routers, all of which have the same trigger name "Router Ping Response" - this is so all the routers appear on the same trigger line in the status overview. The same applies to the firewalls which sit behind the routers, they all have the trigger "Firewall Ping Response".

However I have a problem when it comes to telling the trigger to depend on the router in the trigger - all the triggers for all the firewalls are called "Firewall Ping Response!"

Is there any way of better identifying which dependency relates to which hostname, or am I just doing this completely wrong?

Thanks!

I believe you're doing everything right. The drop-down has to be fixed to include also hostnames.

Hi,

Yes this problem still seems to exist, which means I cant identify a specific hosts dependency from a huge list which all say the same thing!

Just eing able to add a variable like $HOSTNAME to the trigger name would solve the problem.

You can add {HOSTNAME} to the trigger name.
