Is it possible to shorten the purple for the entire server?
Modify the xymon environment variable STATUSLIFETIME
From the man-page xymonserver.cfg :
STATUSLIFETIME
The number of minutes that a status is considered valid after an update. After this time elapses, the status will go purple. Default: 30 minutes
Alternatively, define an ext script on your inaccessible host to send a
status message in every X minutes with an appropriate TTL
status[+LIFETIME][/group:GROUP] HOSTNAME.TESTNAME COLOR <additional text>
Something like:
xymon xyserver.foo.com "status+6 client.foo.com.alive green"
This will put a column "alive" for host "client" which will go purple
six minutes after the last green message is received.
