Re: Monitoring of remote machines

[Martin Pala]

I think the solution which you merked may be good. You can use service 
dependency in monit to let all remote services depend on your remote 
gateway availability.

The gateway ping test may be parent of remote services tests. If the 
ping test to the gateway will fail, you can use "unmonitor" action to 
stop the monitoring of given services. In such case will be all 
childrens unmonitored too (the action is propagated down the dependency 
tree).
