[Xymon] Alert exclusions and Boolean processing

[Scot Kreienkamp]

I think this is what you’re looking for, it’s from the help page on my xymon server.  The help pages can be accessed from the menus at the top of the xymon web pages on your server as well as xymon.com.

There are rules ... and exceptions: IGNORE

A common scenario is where you handle most of the alerts with a wildcard rule, but there is just that one exception where you don't want any cpu alerts from the marketing server on Thursday afternoon. Then it is time for the IGNORE recipient:
               HOST=* COLOR=red
                              IGNORE HOST=marketing.foo.com SERVICE=cpu TIME=4:1500:1800
                              MAIL admin at foo.com

Subject: [Xymon] Alert exclusions and Boolean processing

I have a display group where I would like to ignore alerts for a specific test on a specific host.

It appears that the following definition

DISPLAYGROUP=%My\sGroup EXHOST=myhostname EXSERVICE=mytest COLOR=red

excludes all of the tests run on "myhostname" as well as all of the "mytest" tests run
on the other hosts in that group.

How do I arrange for these test exclusions to be logical ANDs?
