[Xymon] Windows services on a cluster.

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi Thomas,

I looked at that and it doesn't really do what I want as it only differentiates between red,blue,purple or green,yellow,clear. 

If it set different values for the different colours then it would be a lot better. 

I think I might be able to do something with it, but it will mean changes to some of my scripting. We have a script that alerts to tests that are active but not in critical,cfg as we mainly use the critical view for our operators so I just have to work out how to add the exclusions for svcs column on the 2 servers I want to compare. If I do that I can happily have them turning red and therefore use combo.cfg


Not ideal in this situation but it looks like it's the most workable solution.

Regards,
Neil.
