Unless something changed recently, the NET keyword allows you to specify
which of several Hobbit/Xymon servers performs network checks for a given
host.  I don't think it would do what the original poster wanted.

You can use the "NET:" keyword (see the bb-hosts man page) to set up an
alternate network check. In the stanza within hobbitlaunch.cfg that launches
the bbtest-net that is associated with the new set of network checks you can
set an alternate timeout.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm using a few HTTP checks to see how fast (and if) a website responds.
However, some are known to be slower than others and I want therefor some
sites not to trigger an alert or at least not if it doesn't respond in 10
seconds, but for instance 20 seconds. How can I achieve this for 1 check,
not globally for all HTTP checks?

Best regards,

Wouter
