My xymond test is often yellow, and near as I can tell, the reason is often that I have so-called "multi-source statuses." However, the "second" source is the Xymon server, and this appears to happen most often when tests are disabled (as the blue status comes from the Xymon server). Should I be ignoring this? Is there a misconfiguration somewhere that has this server not properly identifying messages from itself?

Thanks for your help.

Not sure entirely what you're referring to here... Can you provide sample output from the different tests?

If you click on the "xymond" dot, I get the following much of the way down the page (you can see this on yours too, but it will be blank most likely):

...(the former is the Xymon server) and I just figured out the specific case that causes it. If you disable the server with "$XYMONHOME/server/bin/xymon $XYMONDISP 'disable host.domain.com* 5m Testing' etc. instead of using the GUI, you will see this. It appears that doing it via the GUI does not result in this happening. Bug of feature?
