I have a test that routinely turns red, and I would like to keep that, but without making the whole xymon page go red.
Is this possible?
You can prevent the test result from propagating upward in the page
hierarchy. See the "nopropyellow" "nopropred" tags
To prevent the test result from appearing on the non-green page, use the
"nonongreen" tag.

I wasn't able to make this work using .default. in hosts.cfg, but it worked as expected when I added it to the command line for xymongen.
Something is fishy. With 4.3.17+ on Solaris it certainly is able to work on the .default. line. I use it all the time.
nopropred:+msgs
will add the "msgs" test to the list of tests not to propagate. Putting it on a hostline will limit its effect to just that host. Putting it on a .default. line will leave it in effect until the next .default. line. My configuration uses a new .default. at the top of each display group, so I know it works reliably.
If it isn't working for you on .default., I suggest confirming:
the syntax of the tag
that there isn't another .default. line later
