[Xymon] Http monitoring

Hi Jean,

normally a 301 (or 302) is not an error. But somehow Xymon treats it
like that.
If you have something in your Xymon servers hosts.cfg like

xx.yy.zz.aa	# http://this.domain.com

then Xymon will do an http check automatically.
What I did was to add the following to such a line

xx.yy.zz.aa	#httpstatus;http://this.domain.com;2..|301; <other checks here>

That way all 2xx messages and 301 will be treated as OK and not as an
error or warning.

In my case I have listeners on port 80 but everything gets
forwarded/rewritten to use https on 443.

Regards,
Torsten

Where would xymon be picking up this configuration of http from.
Everything seems to be running and functioning properly. Could you
provide insight?
