Xymon-4.22-rc3 Available
Hello all!
Xymon-4.3.22-rc3 is now available on SourceForge:https://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/files/Xymon/4.3.22/
The largest change *since rc1/2* is the addition of the 'ACCEPTONLY:' semantic to restrict a specific hosts.cfg entry to a defined set of tests (all other tests for that host will be silently discarded).
Other changes:
- display group names using HTML tags or special characters should now display properly
- combostatus should handle bad config entries without segfaulting on non-glibc systems, like Solaris
- multi-hostgraph RRDs for Connection Time should be fixed
Please give it a test if you have a chance. I expect this will be the last RC before the 4.3.22 release unless major issues pop up.
Regards,
-jc

While I'd love to have the 'ACCEPTONLY:' tag, I don't think it's ready for prime time. I don't think this should hold up 4.3.22 release and suggest it be backed out and saved for later.
What I'm seeing after appending the tag to a host: "ACCEPTONLY:conn,cpu,disk,diskio,memory,procs,svcs,uptime,who"
I can use my xymon client to feed a status result for test "goo" on that host. It is happily accepted. The message content is discarded and replaced with the word "data". The test results turn purple after some odd amount of time (which I can't yet peg down).
As much as I'd like to have this working, I really think it should wait.

Sadly, I have to concur. Can't believe I missed that in testing, but I was focused on blocking tests that had already existed, not checking how new ones we're handled. =/
The problem is the check runs after get_hts(), which means a test record is already made internally before we've checked for acceptability. This is something we can revisit and add in in the next rev, since it actually brings up a few different possible approaches.
I'll leave RC3 up for testing of everything besides that, however.
