Missing feature ?

Oh, you are checking all 20 services in one test.

One test is one test in xymon. It's on or its off.

If you wrote a script to test all these services, then you could add into it, its own 'disable' function on that client machine. Should be pretty simple.

If by services you are just talking about processes or ports or something like that. Then there is no granularity possible in Xymon for that.

Thank you for your reply, but this doesn't meet my wishes ;-)
As long as I disable a single test -services in my example- because one
of my 20 services are "red", I do not recognize if another services
also goes red...

a)      In CA Unicenter you can acknowledge an red alert. After
having
acknowledged an red alert, this red alert changes to an orange alert,
indicating that there is still  a problem.
The main advantage is, that any “view” on a “higher level” isn’t
under red
condition any longer – it becomes yellow. This means, that a new red
alert
coming from the same server could be recognized in a better way.
This could be useful if in Xymon somebody doesn’t like the “All non
green
view” for any reason.

Have you looked at "admin > enable|disable"?
If you have a 'red' alert, you can disable the test for a periodic
amount of time or until it's resolved.  The failed test will change
from red to blue but the top level colour changes back to green.

I think this satisfies both of your requests (but I only quoted the
first one for brevity)
