A host+test combination which does not report often enough will go 'purple'. The duration or 'life' of a status message can be set by sending a status+LIFETIME.
I have a a couple of tests which have not gone purple, despite not being updated for over a week. I have a file named
~/data/hist/foo,bar,com.test
which contains the times the test named "test" has changed state for the host foo.bar.com. The last entry is 1496866851 which works out to June 7th.
Where can I find the information indicating when xymond will consider this test ready to go purple?
