This may be an odd situation, but I am having some issues with adding some dependencies on some application monitors I have.
We have a server that we run a number of number of application monitors on and the application monitors are attached to the node for this server. These application monitors can be impacted by another remote server being down, which there is also a node for. What I want to do is be able to make the application monitors dependent on that remote server so that when it goes down we don't trigger a large number of alerts.
I found that this works if I create a dependency with the remote server as the parent and a single application monitor as the child. The application monitor properly went to unreachable status when the remote server went down.
The issue is, we have a large number of application monitors so I want to be able to put them in groups and make the group dependent on the remote server. I found that when I try this, the dependency does not take effect. I tried both manually adding applications to the group and dynamically adding them to the group, it did not work either way.
Does anyone have any idea what may be the issue here? Are application dependencies supposed to be able to work in groups?
I am currently running NPM 11.0.1 and SAM 6.1.1.
