4.7 Node/interface/address hierarchy

NNMi assigns monitoring settings in the following manner:

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

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

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

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

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