Dependencies or Parent/Child Relationships

So this has been an issue for us a lot -- everything was tossed into the topology umbrella for alert suppression with no easy way to manually create dependencies.  There are many topologies that are simply not discoverable, like multipoint/mesh WAN topologies and really anything not handled by topology sources. 

The good news is that some kind support tech provided me a Manual_Topology module that linked various devices manually that eluded auto-discovery.  The bad news is it is awkward and leverages hardcoded device names and MAC addresses.  But, it is possible.  IMO the UI and/or API should be extended to support manual links.  It is a last resort of course, but there are common cases where it is the only resort.

Thank you for replying!...any chance you have a sample of this Manual_Topology script populated to show the required hardcoded syntax and format?

I believe I found the module you are referencing:
