Hi folks. I thought I was getting the hang of this but I seem to be missing something.

I set up the hosts.cfg to use include files (see the snip below) to allow us to keep things more readable and managable. I am trying to figure out the best way to put the Windows systems and Unix systems in their own list on the "AllServers" page but still use the include files. Is there a tag or directive I can use on the #CLIENT line to have xymon take a Windows or Unix host and put in it the right group?

Also, I'm having a problem getting one of the hosts to get rid of the purple status on bbd. I used the ./bb 127.0.0.1 "server2 drop bbd" command. I went into the hosts.cfg file for that server2 and tried !bbd, nobbd, NOBBD, but it still won't go away.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks!
