Disable/Enable Individual http's
list James Wade
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

Hello,

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?

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
