How to suppress alerts when combo-testing?

Hi, Noone has a suggestion to, how I can suppress and hide tests only used in my combotest below? I need to make the red-tests disappear, so they wont create noise in the alerting or the acknowledge-page. How can I hide red-alerts and suppress alerting on them? /melgaard

Use the EXSERVICE Tag in your alerts config file and the NOCOLUMNS tag in your bb-hosts file. The first will stop alerts from being sent, the second will stop the column from appearing on your web page.

Hi, I recall trying this, and it stops alerting ok, and hides the red tests, BUT - all the red tests still show up in the "acknowledge alert"-page, which gets very annoying in the long run. Maybe I did something wrongly - am I supposed to delete the test before hiding them with NOCOLUMN? /melgaard

Melgaard,
I do not know a way to stop this. Anyone else have an idea?

where ldap/ldaps is not running?Xymon has a problem with clusters. It should be possible to tell Xymon that "these nodes are in a cluster, so don't alert me unless at least N of them are down at the same time". Right now, it isn't. So if you want to eliminate the red status on the individual nodes in the cluster, you cannot do that. If it's only the alerts you want to stop, then you can configure no alerts to be sent for the individual nodes - only send alerts for the cluster status (bskidmsrv001.ldap or .ldaps). Regards, Henrik

Can I put up a feature request for this? Or have NOCOLUMNS suppress the behind-the-scenes red-alerts for acknowledge too?

Yeah, that what I do now - but with a lot of clustered services, the acknowledge-page is my biggest worry. Regards, Carl Melgaard

Certainly :-) It's a problem for me as well, so it will be fixed sometime. Regards, Henrik
