Subject: Re: [Xymon] Xymon Network Tests - Behaviour?
Is it possible to disable a host in a way that avoids Xymon checking
for the host at all?
No. How would Xymon detect that the host becomes OK without trying to
ping it ?
Why would Xymon care about whether a host disabled for a specific period
of time becomes OK during that time?
But the original question started:
Usually, these are set to 'until ok' and the host marked blue with no
alerts.  However Xymon still sends an arp request / ping to check when
the host becomes available.

i.e. No mention of "period of time".
