Hi,
The link you mentioned in the post below is currently inactive. I couldn't find the method. Could you please help? My auto dependency is calculating incorrectly, and I'm looking for a solution that will fix this in 5 minutes based on location, etc. I don't want to enter everything manually.
For years I've been using a juiced up variant of the method described by @AlexSoul in this thread, https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/SAM-Documents/Automatic-Dependencies-Based-On-Custom-Properties-Node-Location/ta-p/516976, and it works very reliably for me. I used it most recently on a hospital chain with more than 350 locations and after we were done we audited it and the script was correct on all sites except our core datacenter, which had network topology that didn't really match up with the assumptions we had made. Took 5 minutes to correct that one location and then everything was solid.
