From the man page for combo.cfg:
A simple test - e.g. "Web1.http" - results in the value "1" ifthe http" test for server "Web1" is green, yellow or clear. It yields the value "0" if it is red, purple or blue.
Can someone explain the thinking behind that for me?
I can try ...
yellow alerts do not cause the combo test to go red.
The rationale for not causing a combo-test to alert on yellow, is because it would be an escalation of the status (one yellow status would trigger a combo to go red = more serious than yellow).
Disabling (blue-ing) a test causes the combo test to go to red.
That one I cannot explain. It doesn't seem right.
assuming I cannot change the colors from a config file?
It's currently hard-coded which colors trigger a red combo-status and which ones do not.
If you do want to try out some changes, then look at the "xymond/combostatus.c" file (in 4.3.0). Line 270 or so has
if (*color == -1) return -1;
else return ( (*color == COL_GREEN) ||
(*color == COL_YELLOW) ||
(*color == COL_CLEAR) );Adding a test for COL_BLUE there should make it behave a bit more sane.
