Hi,
I have these two tests  in my hosts.cfg
page development development
xx.202.xxx.xxx   JIRA  #https://xx.202.xxx.xxx:8443/login.jsp NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,conn
xx.202.xxx.xxx   Stash #https://xx.202.xxx.xxx:8444 NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,conn
So, for grins, I wanted to make sure I'll get alerted so I changed the port to some port not being used, like below:
xx.202.xxx.xxx   JIRA  #https://xx.202.xxx.xxx:4443/login.jsp NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,conn
xx.202.xxx.xxx   Stash #https://xx.202.xxx.xxx:4444 NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,conn
What is happening is that in the nongreen.html status window, the side bar is not turning red but staying green but the little tiny faces went from green to white and I did not get alerted. Below is what is in my alerts.cfg
HOST=JIRA SERVICE=http  
   
    MAIL user-c8334811f433@xymon.invalid COLOR=yellow REPEAT=60m DURATION>180m RECOVERED
    MAIL user-c8334811f433@xymon.invalid COLOR=red REPEAT=60m RECOVERED
HOST=Stash SERVICE=http         
    MAIL user-c8334811f433@xymon.invalid COLOR=yellow REPEAT=60m DURATION>180m RECOVERED
    MAIL user-c8334811f433@xymon.invalid COLOR=red REPEAT=60m RECOVERED
Do you know why I'm not getting alerted and xymon display is not displaying red on the side bar?

It's as if you have "--ignorecolumns=http" or "--nopropred=http" for the
xymongen command, or something like that.


Below is what is in my alerts.cfg

alerts.cfg is only used when generating emails.  It doesn't affect the
display.  If you don't get a red/yellow then you won't get an alert.
Nothing you can put into or take out of alers.cfg will affect the display.

You could try running xymonnet manually with "--debug" and/or "--dump"
arguments.  I would extract one host for testing, put it into a different
hosts.cfg file, and then point xymonnet to that file by setting
HOSTSCFG=/tmp/hosts.cfg or simlar.

Hmm.  I notice you've suppressed conn messages from displaying (with
NOCOLUMNS) but you haven't included "noconn" to stop the conn tests from
taking place.  I wonder if you removed "conn" from NOCOLUMNS, you might see
it going red.  When a ping (conn) test goes red, other network tests go
clear.  If this is the case, simply add "noconn" wherever you have
NOCOLUMNS:conn.
