I have an http test that returns a 202 response, which was perfectly
acceptable when the xymon server was running 4.3.21. Today I upgraded
it to 4.3.23, and now that 202 response is generating a red alarm.
Here's a relevant excerpt from the 4.3.22 section in the release notes:
============
The default rules for HTTP response codes have been simplified and made more
generic:
1xx = Warning (when the final code received)
2xx = OK
3xx = Warning (except 302/303/307 = OK)
4xx = Critical
5xx = Critical
============
If I switch to httpstatus and configure "2.." for acceptable status
codes, the alarm goes away. I think what happens with the regular http
test is either a bug in xymon or a documentation problem, and I'm
curious what the devs think.
Thanks,
Shawn
