Hi there!
My company has a large network with hundreds of routers, managed switches and radio bridges. In schema, all connections look like a forest of trees. So, I have now to make Zabbix monitor this network with dependencies (child/parent hosts with SNMP services).
Where can I find some small HOWTO or docs about implementing these things, i.e. how to describe a host with 2 childs (as we have a "tree", if one child dowsn't work, we firstly have to check its parent and only after getting a result of this check, we have a right to send any messages to support department about parent is dead and all children are unreachable). Also, If child is dead and a parent's alive, I have to check parent using SNMP: "is there any info about childs connection? is child device is assosiated (i.e. IP doesn't work because of ethernet loop and blocked VLAN) or dead (something's wrong with child device or is there any hardware problems on parent device).
On Nagios.org there is a very powerful documentation about its configuration. Is there such doc about Zabbix?
