[Xymon] Server TimeOut

[Wilcox, Theodore A -FS]

All of these web pages are working fine.  The page is generated in the browser and just waits for user input.  The pages are fine, the alerts are incorrect.  I will try your suggestion below.

I don't understand your request. "Server Timeout" *is* telling you that the web page isn't available. But maybe you can get what you want using the "httpstatus" directive.

The okstatusexpr and nokokstatusexpr expressions are Perl-compatible regular expressions, e.g. "2..|302" will match all OK codes and the redirect (302) status code. If the URL cannot be retrieved, the status is "999".

If okstatusexpr matched 999, 20X, and 30X, then it would remain green when the page was not returned.
