[erlang-questions] Re: Nested Supervisors

[Chris Hicks]

Take a look at:
http://www.trapexit.org/Building_a_Non-blocking_TCP_server_using_OTP_principles
While it isn't specifically addressing your issue, the article does show how to nest supervisors. They do throw a few bits of functionality that could be put into separate modules into one, but it shouldn't be that hard to figure out at all.

Subject: [erlang-questions] Nested Supervisors

I'm looking for some examples on starting more than one level of supervisors in a supervision tree. аAlmost everything I've seen has been one supervisor and many workers and I've not seen any documentation or examples on how I might start multiple supervisors within one supervision tree.

I'm trying to build a structure similar to what is below, a simple monitoring application to track events in a typical network environment within a given site. аA site level supervisor handles N number of L3 networks and their workers and spawns N number of supervisors for VLANs in a given MST instance. аThis example is slightly contrived in that I "could" flatten this structure out, but I'm looking to do other things with those vlan workers and may go another level deeper. а

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
