[Xymon] ports check for a VIP...

It will not spawn any reports or alarm, as long as one of them is green, everything is fine. So in your case, there would be three statuses:

1. overall status of this check: green if one is green
2. system A red or green
3. system B reg or green

There are no alarms as long as one of them is green. well having set it up, the combo test is green indeed - but the two servfers that make up the combo test are shwoing

• one green (as the port check is green as mysqld is runnoing on that system)
• one red? (as the port check is red as mysqld is runnoing on that system)

So? we do get a red showing that the monitoring team will respond to. I cant make it "clear" as there are other procs and ports being checked that do need a red if alerting.

so unfortunately it doesnt seem to be the solution - but I do appreciate the attem[pt to help :-) cheers ian
