[EXTERNAL] Re: [Xymon] Alerting based on multiple hosts - is it possible?

[Ribeiro, Glauber]

Yes, that is it! Thank you very much.

I apologize for the way my emails show in this list. I haven't figured out how to avoid that.

You can do this via a combo test defined in combo.cfg

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/manpages/man5/combo.cfg.5.html__;!!MfzFaTml5A!xy2swYGrL2SwmegjDWayreSrY9mVwJdXvsrNG2HmiYU_rDnifqX0LgUEwhlplPiz0OcwJQ$ 

i.e. you could define something like..

servers.cpu = (srv1.cpu + srv2.cpu + srv3.cpu) > 1

or perhaps...

servers.cpu = (srv1.cpu || srv2.cpu || srv3.cpu)

which would be green if one or more of the individual cpu tests were 
green. You could then alert on "HOST=servers TEST=cpu" as normal.

Adam
