Hi, new to the community-have posted my question on the portal this morning. But thought I'd see if anyone is able to run more than one bb-hosts file on a Linux server (so that there would be 3 Hobbits for one IP, somehow-I don't see how it could be done, though). We can't go VM as our bandwidth woulnd't handle it. Not sure if management wants separate instances (prod, OR, stage) showing on the Main Page, so I'm researching bb-alias, etc, but I don't understand exactly if it can be done or not. I would supppose that the /etc file would also have to somehow aliased?
Any help or a definitive answer, like yes, it can be done or no, it is impractical, would be appreciated.
Thanks...

You should have asked here first - I hope you had some way of doing it automatically.
Yes, the data is generated by the client script. But that doesn't mean the Xymon server cannot be changed to parse the client-side output correctly. So it is indeed possible to fix it on the Xymon server - it already accomodates the amazingly varied forms of reporting "uptime" that various Unix'es use.
