Still couldn't find a way around the mapping of purple to red. Will appreciate any help.
I've no idea is this is natively possible, but you could for example periodically run a script on your xymon server along the lines of:
==== begin ====
#!/bin/bash
for LINE in $(/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondboard test=c_.* color=purple fields=hostname,testname"); do
HOSTNAME=$(echo $LINE | cut -d '|' -f 1)
TESTNAME=$(echo $LINE | cut -d '|' -f 2)
/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "status+24h $HOSTNAME.$TESTNAME red some error message if you like"
done
==== end ====
to find the hostname and testname for all purple c_.* tests and send a corresponding red status message with a lifetime of 24h (or whatever length you prefer).
