what is suppose to happen if you remove the "clear" color from OKCOLORS in xymonserver.cfg ?
Then a "clear" status would trigger alerts, i.e. the xymond_alert
module would begin to see alert-messages for a clear status (same
as for yellow, red, purple).
I don't think you would actually see any alerts being sent, unless
you also change ALERTCOLORS to include the "clear" status.
But that would be a bad idea, since "clear" is also used for e.g. "noping" hosts, or for client-side statuses (cpu, disk, ...)
when the server is down ("conn" status is red means client-side tests will not go purple - they go clear).
We would expect that not recovery message should be sent when a status goes from yellow/red to clear. Only the repeat interval should be reset.
Does this make sense ?
Kind of, yes. I don't recall if it was actually tested.
