[Xymon] trigger an alert from the response time of a network service

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Hi Henrik, thanks for the help.

OK, I changed it to this:

DS conn cmrtgusers.connect-mn.rrd:ds0 >3 COLOR=yellow TEXT="Exceeding 30 logged in users"

So there is no space between the greater than and 30, then dropped the 30 down to three to make sure it would get hit.  Still nothing.  Is there a debug that I can turn on and look into it further?

The "trends" column cannot change color, it will always be green.

I am not sure, but I think you shouldn't have any space between the '>' 
and '30'. It would be pretty bad for the parser to trip on that, so if 
that is the problem please let me know so I can look at improving it.
