[sysmon-help] What am I doing wrong ?

[Noel Kelly]

Hi Mark,

I am no expert but it looks to me like your root dependency is not up 
and so nothing else will be checked.

Can you ping 10.0.0.215 from the command line?  What I do is make my 
root dependency localhost 127.0.0.1 to ensure that networking is up and 
available.  So you could do that and then make 'internal' a dependency 
on that and the other dependencies on 'internal' (as you have).

What does the log file say when you start sysmond?
