I am experimenting with creating new server-side tests and so far, things are working well: my new hosts are appearing OK on the web page as well as in the "xymon 0.0.0.0 "xymondboard" " output with correct status colors I'm sending.

However, when I click on the status icons for these objects, instead of seeing the extra message text I sent with the "status" command, I get a blank page except for the message "No such host".

Guilty Disclaimer: I am using bizzare host names which contain '/''s and ':'s

Simple answer: Don't do that.

Since hostnames gets converted into filenames in various places around Xymon, using that kind of characters in a hostname is just a really bad idea.
