You will also have to deal with the purple that will result if you don't
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.****

Thanks,****
