Quick question - delayred with named content columns?
Suppose I am monitoring some URL's with named content columns like so
0.0.0.0 webservice1 # noconn cont=web; https://foo.example.com/servlet?status;200 cont=mobile; https://foo.example.com/servlet?status;200
If I want to add a delayred, is it delayred=http:5 or delayred=web:5,mobile:5 ?
I /think/ it's the latter. I think the code for delayred works on the column name. As you have specified your own column names, the delayred= should be adjusted to match.

Thanks! (is there a way I can tell if I have it right, other than catching it in the act?)

If you run xymond with "--debug" then you'll get log messages from this line of code each time there's a change in colour:
dbgprintf("posting to stachg channel: host=%s, test=%s\n",hostname, testname);
The "testname" her is the exact value being matched against the delayred or delayyellow parameter (that is, being passed to changedelay() function). If your special column names show up here as "test=web", then I would be reasonably confident of success using "delayred=web:5".
You'll need to change the colour to see the log message. But you should be able to do this by changing it to blue (by adding a down-time period for the service) and then back to normal again. The debug log message is executed even for "down" services.

I usually just misspell the URL to trigger the alarm.
cheers, Phil
