Have you disabled alerting for that host or commented it out in your
bb-hosts? The way to disable a "check" for a host is to remove the check or
comment out the host in the bb-hosts. If you have just disabled the
"alerting", then it will continue to do the "check", just not alert you.

Hi,
One of our AD-servers went down for maintenance for 1 week, and I
disabled
the conn+dns tests in Xymon for that period. Now the "bbtest" column
suddenly goes yellow, and indicates that DNS lookups takes 450+ seconds
now (indicating that the DNS-check for the maintenanced server is still
active).
No, it indicates that the Xymon server is taking a long time to resolve
host
names to IP addresses. You may need to configure the DNS client settings
on the
Xymon server (e.g. adjust the 'server' parameters in /etc/resolv.conf).
If you have most IP addresses hardcoded correctly in bb-hosts, you may
want to
add the 'testip' flag to the relevant lines of bb-hosts.
But why is the check still running against the AD-host I've disabled? It
looks like its that exact dns-check that takes 450 seconds to run (timeout).
Looking at the DNS-statistics:
DNS tests executed 4602546.200466
450.096498
which is the normal checks + the 450 second timeout. All other dns-checks
run fine.
Shouldnt I except something like this (from the conn checks):
"System unreachable for 764 poll periods (363317 seconds)"
instead of:
"Service dns on xxx07 is OK
Dialup host/service, or test depends on another failed test
Host appears to be down
Timeout
Seconds: 450.003"
when I've disabled all the checks on the host, and the server is powered
down? Or am I missing something here?
