I like the idea of a different icon for the info-column. Try this patch, it causes the info-column to use the "unknown.gif" icon which contains a question-mark.
Yes, this is helpful, and I have put it on my test instance to try it out. The yellow icons on every host are going to cause heartburn for some users, though.
<grin>yes, that might be a problem. I have changed it for 4.3.14 so you can explicitly set an image-file to be used as the icon for info- and trends-columns.
I've tried querying the server for hostname.info and get no result. This makes me think that the 'info' test is handled differently from other tests. If I ask for xymondboard for host=hostname, however, 'info|green' is in the response. This makes it look like all other tests. That is a little odd.
They are special, they do not really exist in xymond, but are generated "on the fly" only for the xymondboard output.
By setting: INFOCOLUMN="-info" I think I get behavior which meets my needs. The column will sort left, and the icon will be green.
Are there limits on what characters can be used in the column name? Do you foresee difficulties in your sort, search, or display routines caused by leading the column name with a hyphen?
You should probably avoid characters that have special meaning in HTML, but other than those I don't foresee any problems.
