By server, he means "server instance." If he stops one "server" (like an
instance of Tomcat or something), he would like it to be separated out
from other instances of same on the same machine.

I might be missing your question.  If I want to monitor certain ports for host xyz and other ports for host abc I can tell the software to do this by configuring the server side hobbit-clients.cfg (analysis.cfg in xymon).  These tests could also be for the same ports on different hosts.  Make sure that the changes appear above the DEFAULT stanza in the file.


For example: 

HOST=fred
....
PORT LOCAL=%(:13782|:13722|:13724|:13783) STATE=LISTEN MIN=1 COLOR=yellow TEXT=netbackup
....

HOST=jane
...
PORT LOCAL=%(:1372|:1322|:1372|:137) STATE=LISTEN MIN=1 COLOR=yellow TEXT=splat
...

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
