[Xymon] What determines displayed columns?

By default Xymon will display every test it has data for. You can use the 'xymon' command to find out what these are these: xymon <xymonhostname> 'xymondboard host=<hostname>'. You can control which tests get displayed by using the "group" directive in your hosts.cfg file. See the hosts.cfg man page for details.

All –

Besides adding specific tags for services / tests in hosts.cfg, what determines which service columns appear on web page for a particular client? I.e. I have some clients in my environment which do not have any tags in hosts.cfg, but display several “tests”.

I see part of the puzzle: the client runs (in my case): ~/xymon/client_sunos-5.10/bin/xymonclient-sunos.sh, which generates the following columns of data

            date
            uname
            uptime
            who
            df
            mount
            prtconf
            memory
            swap
            swaplist
            ifconfig
            route
            netstat
            ports
            ifstat
            ps
            top

I also see there’s a file called ~/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg, which is like the server-side “tasks.cfg” in concept / syntax.

However, what determines which of these stanzas applies for which-host?

Thanks!
