2.7 Node/interface/address hierarchy

NNMi assigns monitoring settings in the following manner:

1. Interface group settingsNNMi monitors each node's interfaces and IP addresses based on the first matching interface group settings definition.

   The first match is the interface group settings definition with the lowest ordering number.

2. Node group settingsNNMi monitors each node and each previously unmatched interface or IP address based on the first matching node group settings definition.

   The first match is the node group settings definition with the lowest ordering number.

   Reference note

   Child node groups are included in the ordering hierarchy. If the parent node group has a lower ordering number (for example, parent=10, child=20), then the monitoring configuration specified for the parent node group also applies to the nodes in the child node group. To override a parent node group monitoring configuration, set the ordering number for the child node group to a number that is lower than the parent (for example, parent=20, child=10).

3. Default settingsIf no match is found for a node, interface, or IP address in step 1 or step 2, NNMi applies the default monitoring configuration settings.
