I’ve looked through the documentation for Xymon and I can’t seem to find
any way to only have an icon colour change if a threshold has been

I’m aware that alerts allow this kind of thing but would really like the
dashboard not to change colour if we just get a spike in disk, cpu or
memory usage (amongst other things).
Is there any way to do this?
It's been possible for network tests for many years, but that was really a kludge on top of the old Big Brother system.
So your mail provided an excellent excuse for getting this implemented in a generic fashion (so I can deprecate the old network-test-specific method).
The attached patch implements two new settings you can put into hosts.cfg: "delayred" and "delayyellow". So to have the "cpu" status not go red until after 15 minutes and disk status not go red until after half an hour, you would use this:
10.0.0.1 host1.example.com # delayred=cpu:15,disk:30
Patch applies against 4.3.4 - older versions will need some manual tweaking to make it into the xymond.c file. Or wait for 4.3.5.
