Hi,
We're setting up monitoring in xymon for our websites, most are working great but I have a few issues. Our hosts.cfg lines look like this: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx site.name.com # https:// site.name.com NK:http We're trying not to touch the sites by adding bbd files. In one case we have what I believe is a non-standard redirection resulting in an orange ! in the http column and this info on the http page for that site:
[yellow] https://fngvob.foxinc.com/ - Moved Permanently
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Location: https://fngvob.foxinc.com/VOB_PD/
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 00:10:15 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Length: 156
Seconds: 0.349426000
The second case is, there's a firewall rule that prevents us from pinging an outside site as a result for that site we have a red face in the conn column and when I click it I see:
Service conn on fox.okta.com is not OK : Host does not respond to ping
System unreachable for 132 poll periods (8135 seconds)
[red] 54.197.192.167 is unreachable
We would like to continue monitoring these sites because the info that is available is extremely valuable but would like to make the alerts go away without touching the sites or the firewall. Does anybody have any suggestions on how this might be done?

You can correct the HTTP URL and disable the ping test?

Thanks for the quick response Josh,
I guess I don’t quite understand what you mean by “correct the HTTP URL” and is there a way to disable the ping test for one site only? I was playing with the noping parm but it didn’t seem to change anything.

Try using the noconn option, Plus you need to remove the conn status from your page…

Try this format for your HTTP test: httpstatus=http;http://your.website.here;200|301
I think there's a noconn tag you can use to disable just the ping.
