I'd be interested in any answers you receive! I've got almost the same
problem - servers that are switched between one of several porst for
http, and was thinking I'd need to drop the tests into separate
external tests (which would lose the every-30-second retest for http)
but am interested to know if there's a better way.

Greetings,

We have a server that is running 3 different processes.  In the
hobbit-clients.cfg file, I have some PORT checks that are making sure they
are listening on the appropriate port.

The problem I have is if the DEV server is taken down for maintenance, I
can’t just disable the “ports” check, because that will disable the monitors
for the PROD and TEST ports.

How can I go about splitting out the port checks for a server and being able
to enable/disable/acknowledge separately?

Thanks,

Tom
