web service is responding. The webservice is managed by
someone outside of my environment.</p>

day, manual tests confirm that the xymon test is ok. The
webservice will fail for maybe 30 to 60 minutes then will
restore.</p>

If the Xymon test runs while the service is unavailable, I
will receive a alert and by the time I can investigate all is
ok. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I added the DURATION>30 or
DURATION>1h to the alerts.cnf to only send me alerts if the
service has been down for a period of time, but I still
receive the alert as soon as Xymon detects the problem.</p>
