Hi all,
I’m aware of such thing as NOCOLUMNS and noconn but I’d like to have an entry in my hosts.cfg for a server purely doing http tests
The idea was to use the Xymon server itself (and have the full entry with all columns shown on another page) but even if I use NOCOLUMNS:cpu,disk,files,memory,msgs,ports,procs noconn I still have a large number of columns showing such as dm (devmon) and the vm columns for cpu/mem/disk as the Xymon server is on a VM.
Is there anyway I can get it to just show the http test. This means that I would be able to add it to my Live Websites page so that the correct page would change colour in the case of an issue.
Two solutions:
Use a "group-only http" definition on the "Live Websites" page, this will include only the http test on that page, regardless of any other tests present for that host;
Move the http tests to a different (pseudo) hostname so that host only has an http status.
