[Xymon] Spikes in activity.

[Neil Simmonds]

badTEST is fine for network tests but my bigger concern is for CPU, MEM
and DISK tests, none of which seem to have the ability to do this on Aix
and Linux (As Daniel mentioned there is the delay option in BBWin but
that appears to be only usable for CPU tests).

For the built-in network tests I think badTEST would do what you're
asking. (badftp, badssh, badhttp, etc) See

Cheers.

Hi all,

 

I've looked through the documentation for Xymon and I can't seem to find
any way to only have an icon colour change if a threshold has been
passed for x number of consecutive tests.

 

I'm aware that alerts allow this kind of thing but would really like the
dashboard not to change colour if we just get a spike in disk, cpu or
memory usage (amongst other things).

 

Is there any way to do this?
