Unable to drop content checks 🔗 link

 Good morning, all.

Running Xymon 4.3.17, I've tried every magical incantation of the "xymon" command with the "drop" parameter that I can think of, but I haven't been able to get Xymon to drop 3 previously configured content checks.

I've updated the hosts.cfg file to remove the cont= tests from the host's entry (content check/column names were ptlcls1, ptlcls2 and ptlcls3).

I've tried:

xymon <hostname.of.xymon> "drop <client-host-name> ptlcls1" (as well as ptlcls2 and ptlcls3)

I've also tried:

xymon <hostname.of.xymon> "drop <client-host-name> cont"
But the tests continue to show up in the alarms list or in the disabled list, as I've now disabled them in order to clear my board of alarms.

Am I missing something, doing something wrong, or am I just going to have to drop the client from Xymon (thereby losing its history) and re-add it (obviously, not really a great option)?

Thank you.

Could it be "content" or perhaps "http"?

I did run the drop http, but I can try the content option.

The way you wrote:

     xymon <hostname.of.xymon> "drop ......."

suggests you're not doing this on the Xymon server?  If not, you might
want to try that.  The server may not accept drops from remote
sources.

     xymon localhost "drop ....."
