I see another bit of evidence that my monitoring server masks red with yellow:

In '/home/xymon/data/hist/ldap': ldap 1310510981 1310510371 610 re gr 2 ldap 1310510981 1310510981 0 ye re 1 ldap 1310512082 1310510981 1101 gr ye 1

The web page interprets the above as: Tue Jul 12 17:08:02 2011 green 17:59:36 Tue Jul 12 16:49:41 2011 yellow 0:18:21 Tue Jul 12 16:49:41 2011 red none Tue Jul 12 16:39:31 2011 green 0:10:10

The notifications sent out were: Tue Jul 12 16:55:07 2011 ldap.ldap (xx.xx.xx.xx) email at address[162] 1310511307 0 Tue Jul 12 17:08:02 2011 ldap.ldap (xx.xx.xx.xx) email at address[162] 1310512082 0 1101 (a yellow notification followed by a recovery notification)

Being that the LDAP service was down (red) until 17:08 it looks like the yellow masked that fact.

I am using Xymon 4.3.2.

I will be very grateful for any ideas or confirmation of this behavior.

cheers,

Troy
