Abstract
A method and apparatus may include determining a root. The root includes a first node within a cluster of nodes of a network. The method may also include generating at least one network dependency between the root and a second node. The at least one generated network dependency corresponds to a connection between nodes of the network. The at least one generated network dependency corresponds to a directional path from the apparatus to the second node. The method may include polling the second node. The polling occurs via the at least one network dependency that has been generated between the apparatus and the second node. The method may also include determining that the second node is unreachable. The method may also include generating activated alerts relating to the unreachable second node, if any of the parent nodes of the second node are determined to be reachable by the apparatus.
