"litt.haskins.yale.edu" is different from "litt". Xymon uses the full string that you provide, so with/without a domain is considered two different hosts.
yy.yy.yy.yy tjmac # ssh ldap FMS pptp http://tjmac/fmi-test/phptest.php yy.yy.yy.yy tjmac # prefer noconn fm-5003 fm-16000 fm-16001 = NOPROPRED:fm-5003,fm-5353,fm-2399,fm-16000,fm-16001,fm-16004 = http://tjmac/fmi-test/phptest.php
These are identical. And when you have the same host listed twice, you MUST list all of the network tests on one of the lines.
So your config should be
yy.yy.yy.yy tjmac # ssh ldap FMS pptp
http://tjmac/fmi-test/phptest.php
fm-5003 fm-16000 fm-16001
NOPROPRED:fm-5003,fm-5353,fm-2399,fm-16000,fm-16001,fm-16004
and then later
0.0.0.0 tjmac # noconn
You cannot control what status columns show up on each of the two lines by splitting the test-specifications between the two lines. If you want a status to only appear on one of the entries, then use the "group-only" or "group-except" definitions.
