            <div>I can see two ways to do this (apart from "hack the
              code"):</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>1. use "delayred=STATUSCOLUMN:DELAY" with a really big
              delay</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>2. create a "status" channel consumer that catches the
              status message from the host and then sets the colour with
              a xymon "modify" message</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>The latter option might not work, because I suspect
              that "modify" can only make a colour appear worse, not
              better. I true, the status message could be extracted and
              re-injected in entirety, with the colour changed to green.</div>
