My team want to put separate views of the equipment monitored by xymon. For example get all test/data from a server on a page called HW and put some of the gathered data on a page called Service. I this way we want to put separate views of one entity.. one view which shows everything so is the necessary for the sysadmin and the other view (fewer columns) that remove the extra data and show the estricly data of a service or function of the server.
Can be this acomplish since man pages warns against it with unexpectable results. (bb-hosts).
Yes, there is no problem with having hosts show up on multiple pages. Just observe the caution that you must have all of the network tests defined once - don't spread them across the different host definitions, and don't repeat them on all of the host definitions.
In other words, this is OK:
page prod Production Systems 10.0.0.1 dns.foo.com # ssh dns page test Test systems 0.0.0.0 dns.foo.com # noconn
And this is wrong:
page prod Production Systems 10.0.0.1 dns.foo.com # ssh dns page test Test systems 10.0.0.1 dns.foo.com # ssh dns http://dns.foo.com/
Put all of the network tests on the first definition of the host, and use IP 0.0.0.0 and "noconn" on all the other iterations of that host.
