Is there any way to use separate timeouts for different tests?

It's open source, there's always a way!

You can possibly achieve what you want by running two copies of xymonnet with different environments. You could update tasks.cfg to include an extra xymonnet section (with a different name) like so:

[xymonnet-20s] ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD HOSTSCFG=$XYMONHOME/etc/hosts-20s.cfg xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse --timeout=20 LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonnet.log INTERVAL 5m

This will get its configuration from a different hosts.cfg called hosts-20s.cfg. In this file you would include only the hosts and tests where you want a timeout of 20 seconds.

The normal network tests would continue to run, so you'd want to remove those tests from the main hosts.cfg, but leaving the hosts in.

Also, the status of these sites is Red on the Main page or the AllNonGreen page, but if we drill down and look at the test for that host, it shows as green.

This might be a delay between updating the host test page to green, and updating the summaries from the previous red state.
