First thanks for an excellent product - we think its a fantastic thing to give us a "heads up" to potential problems.
I have just moved from Hobbit 4.2.0 to Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 and simply moved across the bb-hosts file from the hobbit to the xymon directory (both installed on the same server) and found that although everything is working fine the comments field seems to being ignored by xymon. Here is a fragment of our bb-hosts:
group Netware Servers 10.182.186.5 wigan.xsheffield.nhs.uk # COMMENT:"West Court Site Server"
It seems to me that the comment allows you to change the tooltip when you hover over the hostname.
Regards,
Malcolm
