Go to your hostdata directory. It will have a directory for each machine. You can rm -rf Cam* there. Could be more in hist and rrd

Ok, let me ask the question a little different way. Is there a way to view a list of old hostnames that are not listed in the hosts.cfg file but the server still has old logs stored?

for Host in Cam{1..12}; do ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop $Host" done
You also want to remove the other history info as well but I'd have to go find that.

I know how to drop a single host and erase it's data, but I have a long list of IP Cameras that I changed in my hosts file and instead of dropping each individual hostname I'd like to drop all hosts that start with 'Cam'. I attempted this but it didn't remove anything.
./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop Cam*"
