Use the EXSERVICE Tag in your alerts config file and the NOCOLUMNS tag
in your bb-hosts file. The first will stop alerts from being sent, the
second will stop the column from appearing on your web page.

Subject: [xymon] SV: How to suppress alerts when combo-testing?
Hi,
Noone has a suggestion to, how I can suppress and hide tests only used
in my combotest below? I need to make the red-tests disappear, so they
wont create noise in the alerting or the acknowledge-page. How can I
hide red-alerts and suppress alerting on them?

Emne: [xymon] How to suppress alerts when combo-testing?
Hi,
Im monitoring a cluster-setup, a/b-nodes + cluster ressource:
10.83.13.12 bskidmsrv001.bsk.rm.dk #
COMMENT:"SLES11cluster-res" prefer
10.83.13.10 bskidmsrv001a.bsk.rm.dk # COMMENT:"SLES11a" ldap
ldaps ntp ntpd badntp:1:3:3 prefer NOCOLUMNS:ldap,ldaps
10.83.13.11 bskidmsrv001b.bsk.rm.dk # COMMENT:"SLES11b" ldap
ldaps ntp ntpd badntp:1:3:3 prefer NOCOLUMNS:ldap,ldaps
ldap + ldaps will always be red on one of the nodes, so I've made a
combotest to insert on the cluster-ressource:
bskidmsrv001.bsk.rm.dk.ldap = ( bskidmsrv001a.bsk.rm.dk.ldap +
bskidmsrv001b.bsk.rm.dk.ldap ) == 1
bskidmsrv001.bsk.rm.dk.ldaps = ( bskidmsrv001a.bsk.rm.dk.ldaps +
bskidmsrv001b.bsk.rm.dk.ldaps ) == 1
This works on - the green status shows up on the cluster-resseource host
- BUT I still get alerting on all the hidden red-tests, and I can still
acknowledge all of the tests, I thought I hid away with NOCOLUMNS.
How do I achieve this - ie. suppressing the red alerts on the nodes
where ldap/ldaps is not running?
Regards,
Carl Melgaard
