Filtering hosts on page with many hosts
I have a page with over 300 hosts, is there a way to just filter hosts that start with "X" ?

I don't believe so, but you could break it up into blocks of conceptually related items using groups or pages/subpages if you need the same blocks of stuff on a regular basis. This is done in the hosts.cfg file using page, subpage, subparent, etc. commands or group commands. Check https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/manpages/man5/hosts.cfg.5.html for details.

Thanks for the reply. I do have many pages/sub-pages for other things, the issue is, I have some "outside scripts" that grab info off "page-x", so breaking the hosts list up would cause "other issues".

That makes sense. Would using groups (which leave the items on that page, but group them into logical sets of things) be useful?
Otherwise, I'm not personally aware of any good solutions for you. There might be one, but I'm not thinking of it.

Unfortunately, there is not a filtered host display page option. I may look to see if I can create one for Xymon 4.0 as an enhancement.

You can list a host in more than one page. So if you need to keep all 300 hosts in one page, you can have separate pages with subsets of the hosts.
A Javascript add-on to dynamically filter the hosts shouldn't be too hard to put together.

Courtesy of AI, and after some minor tweaks, the attached javascript will create a host filter on Xymon pages with hosts (wherever the URL location starts with "/xymon/").
Either insert the file to your stdnormal_footer file just above &XYMONBODYFOOTER, or create a new file in a suitable location such as /etc/xymon/xymonbodyfooter.html (or append to an existing file if you already use one) and (if it's not already set) update XYMONBODYFOOTER in xymonserver.cfg to point to the file (eg XYMONBODYFOOTER="file:/etc/xymon/xymonbodyfooter.html").
Then, wait a few minutes for the pages to re-generate, and then the filter will be available. To toggle the filter on the page, either select the new checkboxed menu item from the Views menu, or type CTRL-SHIFT-F (or CMD-SHIFT-F on a Mac).

It is not working for me: if I press "host filter", I get a white "false" page

Thanks Jeremy! This works great on my 4.4alpha installation. I no longer have 4.3.30 installed to test it there.
Below is a minor update to make it not add the search function to the nongreen pages.

Tom, I'm curious why you wouldn't want to be able to filter hosts on the non-green page?
Until just now, I didn't know there was a "red" page. It's there when I over-type "red.html" in the browser, but I'm not aware of there being any link to it in any of the menus. How did I not know this? Or perhaps I had forgotten?

Jeremy, You are right about the non-green and critical pages, it does also work on them and is helpful there. I mistakenly tested my nongreen.html page when the status was all green, thus there was nothing to filter. So disregard the patch I sent. Maybe it could also filter the past events shown on the nongreen.html page? I also found that your filter works on the Availability and Snapshot Reports! The red.html page is also built, but is not in the menu unless you manually add it to the xymonmenu.cfg file.

Tom, I'm curious why you wouldn't want to be able to filter hosts on the non-green page?
Until just now, I didn't know there was a "red" page. It's there when I over-type "red.html" in the browser, but I'm not aware of there being any link to it in any of the menus. How did I not know this? Or perhaps I had forgotten?

Thanks Jeremy! This works great on my 4.4alpha installation. I no longer have 4.3.30 installed to test it there.
Below is a minor update to make it not add the search function to the nongreen pages.

Thanks Jeremy,
As Nicola also answered, I too just get a page with "false"
- Xymon 4.3.30
- modified mine so it just shows up on "/Switches" pages
- added you script contents directly to the stdnormal_header file
Hovering over from the "Views" choice:
- nongreen shows the correct path: [image: image.png]
The new Host Filter has: [image: image.png] I guess the browser doesn't really know where to find this ?

The CTRL-SHIFT-F toggles the filter on/off and it works! :))
However, I'm assuming the "mouse click" on "Host filter" is supposed to do the toggle as well ?

Either insert the file to your stdnormal_footer file just above &XYMONBODYFOOTER, or create a new file in a suitable location such as /etc/xymon/xymonbodyfooter.html (or append to an existing file if you already use one) and (if it's not already set) update XYMONBODYFOOTER in xymonserver.cfg to point to the file (eg XYMONBODYFOOTER="file:/etc/xymon/xymonbodyfooter.html").
Then, wait a few minutes for the pages to re-generate, and then the filter will be available. To toggle the filter on the page, either select the new checkboxed menu item from the Views menu, or type CTRL-SHIFT-F (or CMD-SHIFT-F on a Mac).

You can list a host in more than one page. So if you need to keep all 300 hosts in one page, you can have separate pages with subsets of the hosts.
A Javascript add-on to dynamically filter the hosts shouldn't be too hard to put together.
