So, as far is it being purple it was doing exactly what I told it to
do. D'oh. I've changed the tag to status and it's turned green, however,
I'm very doubtful that it continue to correctly return the status of the
test. I'll see if I can get the log entries from the next time it goes
yellow for unreturned status.
Thanks,

Yes, it's sending a data message with the word "green" in it. A "data"
message doesn't update the status/colour of a column, which would explain
why you're getting a purple. Only a "status" message can update the colour
of a column.

I've been running netapp.pl for the last couple of months, but all of
the sudden I've had nothing but trouble with the CPU test. At first, it was
failing to retrieve CPU data and turning yellow with no real explanation
that I could find for why it was failing. Now, I've added the *data* tag
to the bbcpucolumn in netapp.ini and it's staying purple. This would make
sense if it was actually failing to return the data, however, it appears
that it is in fact retrieving it correctly. I get these two log entries
when I grep for cpu:
Wed Nov 6 11:05:06 2013:DEBUG: TEST=cpu, TYPE=data, EVENT=cpu,
SENDTYPE=2, TESTLIVE=Server Default, SUMREPTIME=0
Wed Nov 6 11:05:06 2013:DEBUG: BBDISPLAY: $XYMONSERVER, hostname:
$FILERNAME, type: data, event: cpu, time: 00:00:01, color=green
Now, to my untrained eyes it appears that it's trying to send a green
status to Xymon, which is further backed up by having no holes in my RRD
graph. I would really appreciate any suggestions for how to proceed as I am
at a loss.
