You should be using colons instead of commas: badldap:1:2:5 .

Thanks,

Thank you for your answer

you are right
0.0.0.0 hostname # ldap badldap:1,2,5
works fine

but
0.0.0.0 hostname # ldap://somehost:someprot/dn  ldaplogin=login:pwd
badldap:1,2,5
doesn't work, it goes red immediately when there is an error.

Do you have any idea about this !?

It seems that the "badtest" option is not working for all the network
tests, it works fine for the http but not for ldap.
I'm using xymon 4.2.3
Did any one manage to get it work for ldap ?


I've had it enabled for a while. I'm using “badldaps:1:2:5” and I'm pretty
sure it's working. I see some alerts on the “ol” test (which monitors
regular LDAP on 389) and then some alerts on “ldaps” that come a few minutes
later. However, I mainly just didn't want to be alerted during daily log
rotation, which is predictable, so I've been using DOWNTIME to silence the
alerts. I'm not really depending on badldaps at this point.

By the way, I highly recommend Buchan Milne's script for monitoring LDAP…
