[Xymon] Disable a test permanently

[Nordquist, Daniel]

You would set that in the bb-hosts file (or an include file), and yes, it would tell the server to ignore the test but would still run the test and display it on the web page that the server is on, but it would not propagate a red condition so the page would not show red and the bb2 page would not display it.

Check out the man page for bb-hosts.

If you want the client to skip running a test, setting the ignore in the client config file on that specific server can stop it from running the test.

Check out the man pages on your help menu item on your xymon web page.

Hello Daniel,

In which file should I set this nopropred:testname?
Would it tell the client not to run the test or is it a hint to tell the
server to ignore the info provided by the client?

Regards,
