The exception is to the suggested interval, not the function.
Normal tests run on a set interval, usually every five minutes. Setting your DELAYRED to 9 minutes isn't much different from setting to to 5 minutes. There is still one failed test with no opportunity for change.
xymonnet test, however, get tossed into the xymonnet-again queue upon failure. This increases the frequency of the retest. In this case, setting the DELAYRED to 9 minutes permits four more tests to happen than setting it to 5 minutes.
But maybe my interpretation is wrong, because I've tried out your test scenario, see that notation at the bottom of the info-page, and (like you) don't see any delay of the appearance of red on the info, parent-page, or non-green screen.
Can anyone confirm that "delayred" is working for them with conn?
