The Device Dependencies dialog is the same for both up and down dependencies with the exception that one sets up dependencies and the other sets down dependencies. Up dependencies is signified with a upward green arrow icon, while down dependencies is signified with a downward red arrow.

  • Checking the first box on the dialog to either poll only if Any one or Every one of the active monitors selected below are up or down on device, depending on the type of dependency you are setting.
  • To select a device for the dependency, click the browse (...) button.
  • Choose either All active monitors or Specific active monitors and check the active monitors you want to associate with the dependency.

The statement at the bottom of the dialog is automatically generated for you to assist you in understanding the type of dependency you are creating.

An example statement would read:

"ATL145 is dependent on QATEST-WIN2K's FTP and HTP and Ping active monitors being up. (ATL145 is "behind" QATEST-WIN2K.)"
