You would have to create a custom script that sends data as if it is from a host like "row1-rack1" and setup up this same 'host' in your bb-hosts file. The script would check the status of all of the services etc that you want and then calculate a red or green to send to your xymon server.
Not pretty, but it does work.
The only other way is to create subpages that show only one column per page. Then your front page would look like:
Row1-Rack1-conn () Row1-Rack1-cpu () .. And so on
Each page underneath would have all the servers for that particular row and rack and only one column which is the service specified.

Hello,
we have cluster to be monitored in which each row having several racks and
each rack having several nodes.Now i want display like
-red, -green
group-only conn|cpu|disk|ssh
row1-rack1
row1-rack2
like this.
my row1-rack1 will have 9 nodes inside it each.
i.e. when i see main page i should come to know that in row1-rack1,there is
problem with a node with service ssh.
How to set it in a bb-hosts file?
i have more than 40 racks and more than 250 nodes..how do i set a display
page to get above requirement?
i dont want page and subpage combination as it shows pages hosted localy
also do not show which serveice is actully down on the front page itself.for
that i need to go to that page and then i come to knopw which service is
down.
how to do that?
