Does Zenoss support dependencies?
Yes and no. • Zenoss has Layer 3 dependencies, if you’ve fully discovered the network route / map to the devices. Zenoss keeps an internal topology map of the network, so when a router is no longer reachable the devices that connect to it are marked as unavailable as well, suppressing their events based on the more severe event of the router being down. • Zenoss doesn’t currently have built in support for layer 2 or arbitrary dependencies, though you can use Event Transforms to cludge in arbitrary dependencies.
