(2nd try correcting from-address)
Wouldn't using the 'httpstatus'-test solve the problem of separate status columns and alerting? P probably i didn't get the hardcase correctly but the following example gives 2 columns (h_app1 and 2) and allows separate alerting. In addition xymon " feeds" the data to the http- column - so all checks are aggregated there.
hosts.cfg: 1.2.3.4 appsrv.example.com # httpstatus=h_app1;http://appsrv.example.com:80/;200;3..|4..|5..|999 httpstatus=h_app2;http://appsrv.example.com:81/;200;3..|4..|5..|999
alerts.cfg: SERVICE=h_app1 MAIL admin at example.com
SERVICE=h_app2 MAIL admin2 at example.com

I have a high-visibility request to change all of our server http tests so that they appear as separate tests per URL, with the ability to alert separately, sign out separately, etc. As most of our web servers are application servers in one form or another, the various URL's test very different functionality.
I have been thinking about making this configurable, so you could do
http=App1;http://myserver/App1 http=App2;http://myserver/App2and have "App1" and "App2" appears as separate columns.
Haven't done any code yet, though, since this would happen "automagically" with the new network tester I have underway for Xymon 5.0. So putting it into 4.x would be somewhat of a wasted effort.
But I have the same issue myself, so perhaps I should look at how much effort it would take.
