Is it possible to disable a host in a way that avoids Xymon checking for the host at all?
No. How would Xymon detect that the host becomes OK without trying to ping it ?
Why would Xymon care about whether a host disabled for a specific period of time becomes OK during that time?
But the original question started: Usually, these are set to 'until ok' and the host marked blue with no alerts. However Xymon still sends an arp request / ping to check when the host becomes available.
i.e. No mention of "period of time".
