Could I request that this trivial change be added at some stage please. It introduces the ability to include a tag in hosts.cfg which has no purpose other than provide an arbitary reference. eg
configdbid=12345
I don't understand the request. Isn't this function already here? I do this now with tags I've introduced into the hosts.cfg files for outside reference or ext scripts.
I did a quick test on my xymon server, configdbid=12345 did show up under "Other tags:".
Andy, is above result is what you need ?

If you append the following to the end of a host line: configdbid:12345 don't you get exactly the behavior you seek? (Provided configdbid is not defined in protocols.cfg)
