Problems with 'COMPACT'

I attempted to use COMPACT once to try to combine ftp and ftps tests into a
single column.  However, when I did that, I then only received the ftp
status page and graph instead of it "merging" the two columns data into one
status report as I had hoped.

I know this is not the same issue that you are reporting, but I do not
think the COMPACT function works as intended.

Hi Ron

Thanks for the response, I'm glad its not just me :)

I'm running v4.3.30.

My comment about the first test: the first test (alphabetically, so in my
example above "fim_test1") is not actually compacted.  It displays as an
individual test on the nongreen or red page, and is not found in the 'fim'
group when I click on that test.

Just looking on the SF site and can't see how to log a bug for this.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks

Your configuration is fine - it is the COMPACT which has issues. Not only
it makes the non-green page to look like a Guy Fawkes night, it also adds
COMPACT columns from unrelated pages to any page which has  COMPACTed
tests defined.

I haven't seen the the first issue you have specified though - missing
1st test - maybe it relates to the version? I'm on 4.3.28.

Any thoughts on this?  I've had a look at the source but can't see
anything obvious.

Hi all

I'm trying to use the 'COMPACT' directive for a few custom tests.  My
config looks a it like:
1.1.1.1 a_fim # noconn
COMPACT:fim=fim_test1|fim_test2|fim_test3|fim_test4
NOCOLUMNS:conn,info,trends
1.1.1.2 b_fim # noconn
COMPACT:fim=fim_test1|fim_test2|fim_test3|fim_test4
NOCOLUMNS:conn,info,trends
1.1.1.3 c_fim # noconn
COMPACT:fim=fim_test1|fim_test2|fim_test3|fim_test4
NOCOLUMNS:conn,info,trends

The problem is that the first compacted test (fim_test1) seems to not
get included in the compacting (ie, it shows on the non-green page) and if
any of the compacted tests for any host are non-green, every host with the
compacted test is shown on the non-green page.

Anyone else having this problem or have I configured it wrong?

Thanks
