Hi Henrik,
There does not seem to be very much users of dispinclude or netinclude!? I do not see very much traffic/response to your question.
That brings me to the following:
Double including bb-hosts-sub-files on a different pagesets results in a yellow bb-test-column:
"Host xx.xx.xx.xx appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results"
What would you suggest to do in this case?
If I have a good alternative, that gives me similar behaviour that would be very much appreciated.
Regards, Peter

I wasn't aware there was an option of dispinclude or what it was used for. If I had I would be using it also. ****

Well, we do. :-)
I use this to make different kind of views: SLA-view, Solaris-view, Windows-view, etc, and still keeping the configuration a one place to stop and modify.
All bb-hosts-files are inluded or dispincluded and made up on separate pages.

Hi,
I have a question for all of you.
xymongen and xymonnet currently reads the hosts.cfg file from disk when they generate the webpages or run the network tests. Ever since the "bbgen toolkit" days, these programs have supported an additional type of "include" statement in hosts.cfg / bb-hosts: "dispinclude" works like "include", but is recognized only by xymongen, and "netinclude" does the same for xymonnet.
I am considering removing these options, since that would make it very simple to eliminate the need for xymongen and xymonnet to have access to the hosts.cfg file - they can just fetch it from xymond, which both of them need to talk to anyway.
But before I rip out this code, I would like to know how many are actually using it. So if you do use either of these commands in your hosts.cfg file, please speak up.
Regards, Henrik
