While I don't believe this to be built into Xymon (would be nice to have), I have written scripts that do this by putting a loop in the script with retry logic. Set Xymon to run the script every 30 minutes, if yellow or red is detected, sleep 1 minute check again... repeat 29 times or until green.

Is it possible to define different check interval for custom tests?

for example, we check tablespaces space usage in database.
For some tests we do not to check once per 5 min just because of performance impact of some complex requests.

When status is green - we do check every 30 min.
But if status is yellow and red - the DBA can make fix faster then in 30 min (or even situation can change faster)
and it would nice to reflect correct status earlier then in 30 min.


Is i possible now or may be it can be implemented in next release?
