[Xymon] ports check for a VIP...

[Ian Diddams]

 actually, Ive possibly  found a solution.

analysis.cfg

HOST=wp-vldyn-estrela
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]3306)$" state=LISTEN min=1 color=clear TEXT=MySQL

HOST=wp-vldyn-rafeiro
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]3306)$" state=LISTEN min=1 color=clear TEXT=MySQL


and now estrela's port check shows a shite unhappy face, and rafeiro's port check shows green


and combo.cfg

mysqldHA.ports = ("wp-vldyn-estrela".ports) || ("wp-vldyn-rafeiro".ports)

which seems to do the trick  - the mysqldHA ports check shows green

intrigiingly the actual output on that combo check shows



(wp-vldyn-estrela.ports)||(wp-vldyn-rafeiro.ports) = (0-0-1)||(0-0-1) = 1
 wp
 vldyn
 estrela.ports
 wp
 vldyn
 rafeiro.ports


i.e. its all showing clear for the individual lines which are also separated where the hostname includes a hyphen...  is that all correct ?

Oh, I see. That is the way it should work, but I did not anticipate your 
team responding to the sub-status as well, sorry, my mistake, I could 
have worded that more clearly... :-/

No worries, thanks for trying!
