There is an option for setting the data lifetime -- that does not have
to happen (though it is one fixed value).

keep reporting the test to the server.

    According to the docs, the NKTIME controls when the alert is
    displayed on the webpage, but I don’t think it keeps the test from
    running.  I’d like to be able to tell the test to run only once or
    twice.  I’m guessing I’ll need to just write a custom script and
    control it via cron or the ext and xymon framework…____

    Hi, you can try using use the NKTIME tag in hosts.cfg to control
    this.____

    Note these options will be dropped in Xymon 5.____

    Hi all.  Is it possible to control the times an HTTP URL test is
    performed?____

    __ __

    I know I can add http://www.sample.com and use regexs to look for an
    occurrence of the word Fail, but we would only like it to check once
    or twice per day, say at 7:45 and then once more at 8:25.  I know
    its easy to control the timing of when the alert is sent.  But can I
    limit when the test is run?  Short of creating an ext-script, not
    sure how I do that in xymon.____
