<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So, there’s a couple things here.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">First, how are you disabling (bluing out) a test (you call check)? Are you checking the “until OK” or are you
providing a time limit for the disable? Also, if the test is green why would you want it disabled?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Second, why are you restarting xymon after a config change? All configuration files are re-read (except local-client.cfg)
every 5 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Next, you say dropped tests reappear. Well of course. If the client is providing the test to the server, the server
is going to display it. If you don’t want a test in xymon, it has to be disabled at the source.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>

and the disabled test will remain blue after restarting xymon?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="1" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">recently I've been seeing a strange issue on xymon server. When I make a check blue and shortly after xymon gets restarted due to configuration
updates, that blue check will be green again afterwards. The same thing happens when a check is dropped and xymon gets restarted directly after that: the dropped check reappears.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="1" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">If you wait some amount of time before restarting, say 5-10 minutes, the problem won't appear and everything will be fine. I also sync'ed on
the server directly after making a check blue and before restarting (to avoid data not being written to disk for some strange reason), which unfortunately did not help.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="1" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Environment is xymon 4.3.27 on Debian jessie. Xymon has been updated to 4.3.28 because of this problem lately, with the problem appearing in
4.3.28, too. This server has just been upgraded from Debian wheezy to Jessie a few weeks ago. On wheezy xymon 4.3.27 was in use but didn't show this behaviour.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="1" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Did anybody notice such an odd behaviour or maybe have any thoughts regarding possible causes?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
