noconn in hosts.cfg not working properly? turns all 'conn''s purple
So our XYMON host ISP seems to be having ICMP issues. conn requests are randomly failing causing false alarms. I added 'noconn' : 2.2.2.2. test.host # noconn ssh ssh-tunnel - However what happens is, it stops the test which is fine, but it holds the 'red' status, or the last status it recorded. After about 30 minutes it turns purple.
How can I get rid of the conn test altogether?
TIA!

Drop the test.
Wherever you go, there you are.

If you're stopping "conn" tests for good, just issue a "drop HOST conn" command to xymon after adding noconn and you'll be all set.

Why not use dialup? That way it will so the tests if it can connect and if it can't it will go clear.

Delete the test for the host
bb 127.0.0.1 "drop <hostname> <service>" bb 127.0.0.1 "drop test.host conn"
