- Would it be possible change the critical systems page to allow the /colors displayed/ on the page to be more of a checkbox style selection? one with each color available to select? i would really like to present just red+purple on my critical systems page to my NOC operators. i see purple as being a greater severity than yellow, and (depending on) possibly more severe than red.
Reason: I've seen a number of times in AIX, where an application has managed to over consume system resources, so the OS kills off processes to protect itself. The xymon client often gets caught up in that and stops reporting in. Meanwhile, we're running without, e.g., the procs test to determine whether our core processes are still running. A purple alert on that page would prompt them to call us, but if only red is displayed, the test will probably remain silent and unnoticed. We also don't want them contacting us for yellow alerts, as those are not necessarily fatal to business operations.
- An increase in granularity would be helpful as well. By that I mean, allow xymon admins to add more than one config for a hostname.testname. I would find it useful to be able to configure for hostname.testname.status.timespec. Also, allow for multiple configurations, each with their own priority, resolver group, and instructions.
Reason: As an admin, I would want to monitor PRIO 1+2+3 and only have my NOC monitor for PRIO 1 during the day. But then at night, have them monitor for PRIO 1+2+3 at night, but would also like change what a test's priority becomes. I might have them follow different instructions or contact a different group based on time.
Thanks,
Erik
