[Xymon] http test question

[Taylor Lewick]

According to the docs, the NKTIME controls when the alert is displayed on the webpage, but I don't think it keeps the test from running.  I'd like to be able to tell the test to run only once or twice.  I'm guessing I'll need to just write a custom script and control it via cron or the ext and xymon framework...

Hi, you can try using use the NKTIME tag in hosts.cfg to control this.
Note these options will be dropped in Xymon 5.

Hi all.  Is it possible to control the times an HTTP URL test is performed?

I know I can add http://www.sample.com and use regexs to look for an occurrence of the word Fail, but we would only like it to check once or twice per day, say at 7:45 and then once more at 8:25.  I know its easy to control the timing of when the alert is sent.  But can I limit when the test is run?  Short of creating an ext-script, not sure how I do that in xymon.

Thanks,
Taylor
