NAME
combostatus - Xymon combination test tool
 
SYNOPSIS
combostatus --help
combostatus --version
combostatus [--debug] [--quiet]
 
DESCRIPTION
combostatus
is a Xymon extension script that runs on the Xymon server. 
It combines the results of one or more of the normal
Xymon test results into a combined test result, using
standard arithmetic og logical operators.
The resulting tests are sent to the Xymon display server as any 
normal test - so all of the standard Xymon functions (history,
statistics etc.) are available for the combined tests.
The tool was born from the need to monitor systems with built-in
redundancy and automatic failover - e.g. load-balanced web servers.
But other uses are possible.
 
OPTIONS
- --error-colors=COLOR[,COLOR]
- 
Specify which colors trigger an error status. By default only a "red" 
status counts as an error color - all other colors, including yellow,
will count as "green" when evaluating the combined status. COLOR
is "red", "yellow", "blue", "purple" or "clear".
 
- --quiet
- 
Normally, the test status sent by combostatus includes information
about the underlying test results used to determine the current
value of the combined test. "--quiet" eliminates this information
from the test status page.
 
- --debug
- 
Provide debugging output for use in troubleshooting problems with
combostatus.
 
- --no-update
- 
Don't send any status messages - instead, the result of the combotests
is simply dumped to stdout. Useful for debugging.
