I Would like to make Xymon display 2 pages with the same hosts on but with different configuration (etc/hobbit-clients.cfg). Is there a way to make hobbit read another etc/hobbit-clients.cfg eg. etc/hobbit-clients_servicelinea.cfg for one page set and the normal etc/hobbit-clients.cfg for the normal page set?
No. The hobbit-clients.cfg is not used dynamically in the sense that it is checked when you look at the webpage. It is used when the client sends in data it has collected; this data is checked against the hobbit-clients.cfg settings, and then the status data that show up on the webpage is generated.
So for a single host you cannot have different versions of e.g. the "procs" status depending on what page you're viewing.
alternatively is it possible to make a virtual host with bbcombotest which includes some specifik process, ports and services from different hosts?
I don't think so (not entirely sure what you mean, but ...)
bbcombotest can only be used to make a combination of existing statuses. E.g. you have three hosts that you do process-checks on; you can then use bbcombotest to build a combined status that shows "green" if e.g. at least one of the original three hosts has a green "procs" status. bbcombotest doesn't go into the details of *how* each "procs" status went green or red, so it cannot be used to look for a specific process or port.
I think what you want to do needs some custom scripting or programming. You can pull the data you need out of Hobbit (so you don't have to collect it yourself), but wrapping your rules around these data is not something Hobbit can do out-of-the-box.
