PORT checks & color

[Daniel Bourque <dbourque (at) weatherdata.com>]

Hi,

   On hosta, I monitor many connections, one of them is to hostb. hostb 
is currently being moved. I can't disable the port check, since all the 
other connection will no longer be monitored. Since alerts for hosta are 
only generated for red and yellow statuses, so I tried to use the 
following :

PORT LOCAL=hosta.:30805 REMOTE=%hostb.* STATE=ESTABLISHED "TEXT=hostb 
connection" COLOR=purple

This would keep monitoring all connections, without generating pages 
about hostb. Unfortunately, the color never goes to purple. I also tried 
using quotes, but eventually I commented out that line in hobbit-alerts.cfg.

Is the color purple not a valid color for the PORT check ? is there a 
smarter way to do what I'm trying to do ?

Thanks

-Dan
