Well, yes, you could...but not sure it makes any sense. Each row in Xymon corresponds to a host. Adding additional rows, mean you have to add new hosts, even if they are dummy hosts. Let's assume you have this on hosts.cfg 1.2.3.4 myhost # ssh other stuff

You could add another line beneath it, so you end up with 1.2.3.4 myhost # ssh other stuff 0.0.0.0 myhost-extra # noping Then the information you send from the host to xymon, uses $MACHINE for normal data, and ${MACHINE}-extra for the additional information.

But here's the problem. The extra information will still appear in its own columns. Assuming you send information as test1, test2, test3 and test4. The new test/data will appear as their own columns and will be interleaved between myhost and myhost-extra rows. It will still be as wide as having everything on one line, and will look pretty crappy. myhost-extra will need to be in its own group or page, for the display to look even half decent.

Hello,

Currently, I have a custom script that calculates various memcached statistics. I have multiple memcached instances, and rather than having them displayed in separate columns, is there a way to display each instance as its own row on the Xymon page?

Thanks and happy new year to everyone,

Sheel
