JC,
Naturally, CSS-controlled would be the best solution, but your proposed "hack" would work on older versions of Xymon (I'm still on v4.3.21)? I'm thinking if there was just a way to ignore html tags when determining the hostname from hosts.cfg, this hack of yours could work!
Thanks, David

I'm already familiar with "group"-ing things in almost every way possible (sorted, compressed, etc.), but was wondering if there is a way to indent or put different icons in the front of entries in the same group?
For example:
col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------host 1 3 3 3 switch 1 1 1 1 switch 2 2 2 2 host 2 4 4 4 switch 1 1 1 1 switch 2 2 2 2
I was hoping changing fonts would work, but adding different header types, for example, simply made Xymon see that as part of the hostname for each entry, even when adding non-breaking spaces in front of an entry in hosts.cfg,
David,
At the moment, there's no easy way to do this. There might be a short term solution in the form of an arbitrary HTML prepend that could be configured in hosts.cfg (DISPLAYPREFIX:"html here" ?) but it'd be something of a hack. Do you think that would work for you?
Longer term, the goal would be to make things like this CSS-controlled, and either reflective of a list relationship between "host 1" and "switch 1/2" in your example, or making all switches a 'type' that can then be CSS controlled. The stripping out of display HTML is on the radar for 4.4, but there's still additional work needing to be done.
