Thanks for pointing out the tooltips --never option. What I see is the text following COMMENT tags in the bb-hosts file displayed on the screen. If a host has no COMMENT tag, but a DESCR tag, then the text in the DESCR tag is displayed on the screen. This occurs no matter how the tooltips option is set, because on my second Xymon server, I see the DESCR tag in the text box, if a COMMENT tag is not present. Interestingly enough, the fields on the info page are populated correctly from the DESCR tag, with or without a COMMENT tag. I hope that makes it more clear.
Thanks, that's much clearer.
This appears to be deliberate - line 483 of lib/htmllog.c was recently changed to:
cmt = bbh_item(host, BBH_COMMENT); if (!cmt) cmt = bbh_item(host, BBH_DESCRIPTION);
So if there's no COMMENT, it uses DESCR instead.
