I'm running 4.3.10 at the moment on Linux and have a question about the
DOWNTIME parameter in hosts.cfg.

Can someone confirm that this only works for red and yellow alerts but
not for the purple ones?
Can this behaviour be adjusted somewhere? Except for setting the status
lifetime in the scripts of course.
You're right that it only affects red or yellow alerts.
It isn't something that you can configure, but I do see your point in having this also work for a purple status - typically local custom tests that are not running when the server is down.
You can change it in the code: In 4.3.10, this is in xymon-4.3.10/xymond/xymond.c on line 1194:
if ((*color == COL_RED) || (*color == COL_YELLOW)) {
should be changed to
if ((*color == COL_RED) || (*color == COL_YELLOW) || (*color == COL_PURPLE)) {
Run make + make install (or copy xymond/xymond over to the bin/ directory).
I'll make this change for 4.3.12. Note that you'll have to restart Xymon for this to take effect.
