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".

     --quietNormally,  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.

     --debugProvide debugging output for use in  troubleshooting  problems  with
	    combostatus.

     --no-update
	    Don't  send  any  status  messages - instead, the result of the com-
	    botests is simply dumped to stdout. Useful for debugging.

FILES
     $XYMONHOME/etc/combo.cfg
	    Configuration file for combostatus, where the combined tests are de-
	    fined

     $XYMONHOME/etc/tasks.cfg
	    Configuration file controlling when combostatus is run.
