actually, Ive possibly? found a solution.
analysis.cfg
HOST=wp-vldyn-estrela
??????? PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]3306)$" state=LISTEN min=1 color=clear TEXT=MySQL
HOST=wp-vldyn-rafeiro
??????? PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]3306)$" state=LISTEN min=1 color=clear TEXT=MySQL
and now estrela's port check shows a shite unhappy face, and rafeiro's port check shows green
and combo.cfg
mysqldHA.ports = ("wp-vldyn-estrela".ports) || ("wp-vldyn-rafeiro".ports)
which seems to do the trick? - the mysqldHA ports check shows green
intrigiingly the actual output on that combo check shows
(wp-vldyn-estrela.ports)||(wp-vldyn-rafeiro.ports) = (0-0-1)||(0-0-1) = 1
wp
vldyn
estrela.ports
wp
vldyn
rafeiro.ports
i.e. its all showing clear for the individual lines which are also separated where the hostname includes a hyphen...? is that all correct ?

well having set it up, the combo test is green indeed - but the two servfers that make up the combo test are shwoing
* one green (as the port check is green as mysqld is runnoing on that system)
* one red (as the port check is red as mysqld is runnoing on that system)
So? we do get a red showing that the monitoring team will respond to. I cant make it "clear" as there are other procs and ports being checked that do need a red if alerting.
Oh, I see. That is the way it should work, but I did not anticipate your team responding to the sub-status as well, sorry, my mistake, I could have worded that more clearly... :-/
so unfortunately it doesnt seem to be the solution - but I do appreciate the attem[pt to help :-)
No worries, thanks for trying!
Cheers
