I’ve had the same experience. You need to do the drop.
Xymon had a test to run, and it was red. You noticed that, and so put the noconn in. Now Xymon isn’t running that test, it’s not expecting that test. So I doesn’t update that test (ie go purple).

To me, purple would indicate a drop is needed. I think something else is wrong here.

You probably just need to drop those tests.
$ ./xymon xymonhostname 'drop domain_1.com<http://domain_1.com> conn' # from $XYMONHOME/bin directory

Need a bit of help on something. In my hosts.cfg on fresh installed xymon server (v 4.3.10) I have this:

group-compress <H5>Jenkins</H5> 127.0.0.4 dev.domain_1.com<http://dev.domain_1.com> # noconn http://dev.domain_1.com/jenkins/ 127.0.0.4 preprod.domain_2.com<http://preprod.domain_2.com> # noconn http://preprod.domain_2.com/jenkins/ 127.0.0.6 prod.domain_2.com<http://prod.domain_2.com> # noconn http://prod.domain_2.com/jenkins/
Although for the first 2 websites all looks good, for the ones which follow below, I get the "conn" column which shows "red" (that's because those hosts don't respond to ping, being default ec2 instances). Any idea how can I remove the "conn" column/check ?
Thanks!
