<p class="MsoNormal">I think you can do this with a data message. But it goes into the "heynow" RRD file, and won't show the value on the "heynow" page. However you can have the graph displayed on the page.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">hi,<br>
<br>
we're using xymon at our company and we have our own data poller which sends updated colors and numerical values to the various objects on the xymon 'map'.<br>
<br>
as is typical, our script runs as:<br>
<br>
/usr/local/xymon/server/bin/xymon localhost 'status+1w 1.2.3.4_abc.heynow yellow `date`<br>
<br>
heynow : 3.14<br>
'<br>
<br>
and this works great when I want to send BOTH a color AND a value to this object.<br>
<br>
if I want to send just a new color to this object, the short form also works great:<br>
<br>
/usr/local/xymon/server/bin/xymon localhost 'status+1w 1.2.3.4_abc.heynow yellow'<br>
<br>
but is there any way to send JUST the value update and leave the color unchanged?<br>
<br>
sometimes we have a trap coming in and that might want to update just the color. other times, we have a poller (of our own) that does not want to disturb any already-set colors but wants to just throw another sample at the rrd graph that is controlled by this
object.<br>
<br>
before I dive into the source code, I wonder if this is already supported somehow.<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
