[Xymon] Yellow->red escalation, bug or feature?

Since it has been argued that it is not exactly a bug I would only humbly request that the current behavior is not changed but enhanced for those who want it to work differently.   If an alert has been alarming for x time and then goes red do you want to wait even longer to be alerted.  Yellow time + red time or yellow time and now its red so alert, provided the yellow time exceeds the red threshold.

Hi,

It would be interesting to see if this bug could be squashed, now that flap-detection is in the game. But I haven't seen Henrik on this list for a good time now - he's active on the developer-list, tho - so I'm crossposting it there.

Regards,

Carl Melgaard

I agree that this is not a new issue.  I have discussed this before (http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2009-January/023201.html (Henrik's reply: http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2009/02/msg00133.html) and http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2008-September/020998.html).

But now that we have flap detection, I'm not sure that Henrik's listed problem with changing it is really an issue.  So I hope it can be changed!

BTW, The oldarchive is better for following threads (provided they don't cross month boundaries):
http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2008/09/msg00057.html
Compare with the previous link.  However, the new archive keeps attachments.  It would be nice if the functionality of both archives were merged...

Kind regards,

SebA

I've seen this exact same issue going all the way back to hobbit, so this is not a new issue with 4.3.  I would love to see it fixed though, as it's very annoying to get paged when you are second or third on call and everyone gets notified on the first red.

I note that the previous example was for a custom test but I also have
seen this for the disk test:
(set to email  every 8 hours when yellow)
