color of the alarm 🔗 link

Hi,

I've written some scripts that check the health of webservers using
observatory.mozilla.org. Curently, the script reads the configuration of
xymon, discovers if the node serves webpage and if so check their health.

As I'm testing about a hundred nodes and as a majority of them will
raise an alarm, my "all non-green view" will become all red.

I'm looking for a color, that do not pollute the "all non-green view",
that are different from green and that allow us to see the output of the
test within xymon.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

"nonongreen" covers a _host_

nonongreen -- Ignore this host on the "All non-green" page. Even if
it has an active alert, it will not be included in the "All
non-green" page. This also removes the host from the event-log
display.

"nopropred" and "nopropyellow" can be applied to specific _tests_ on 
each host

NOPROPRED:[+|-]testname[,[+|-]testname] -- This tag is used to
inhibit a yellow or red status from propagating upwards - i.e. from a
test status color to the (sub)page status color, and further on to
xymon.html or nongreen.html

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

I'm a bit surprised by the response, but that's great because I learn:
nonongreen & nopropred... which is good :)


Let me rephrase my question.

Which color should I use to report a test without giving a sense/alarm
on it. This test neither says it's good or neither says it's bad. Could
I just send a report, with some text attached to it with no other meaning.

Finally, after some works, I've put the "clear" color so that it does
not interfer.

Thank you very much for your appreciated help.
