Disable/Enable Individual http's

Hello,

 
Currently when you disable an http test, it disables

all the http tests for a particular host.

 
We have multiple ports on most of our hosts that we monitor.

When a port is being worked on and down, I have to disable

the other ports when you disable the http for the host.

 
Is there a way to disable individual URL's in the http test?

Other than removing them from bb-hosts?

 
Thanks.James

Another thought. Is there a way to have it page just the URL that is having

the problem verses all the URL's?

 
Thanks..James

James,

Have not tried it myself, but you could duplicate the line in your
bb-host-file containing the host EXAMPLE and (1) change the IP-address
of the second line to 0.0.0.0 to prevent duplicate hosts and dito
checks and (2) change name EXAMPLE to EXAMPLE_2  of the host you are
monitoring. The second line can check another URL. I know this is a
bit awkward when you have 40 URL's, but generally I think it's a bad
idea to have them all tested; just check the most critical URL's .

Thanks Peter,

That's what I did. I just moved them to OLD_URL's,
and disabled them.

However, it's a manual process. It would be nice if you
could disable single URL's on the http test.

Henrik, perhaps this could be a future feature?
Perhaps others have asked something similar?

Thanks....James
