Is it possible to make a custom 'simple view' for non-technical users?
My first post- so, of course, it is a question...
I'd like to make a simple version of the pages that xymon displays the icons in. A subset that only includes the core items such as cpu, memory, disk and services.
What is the best way to do this without affecting the existing pages?
It doesn't look like critical host pages will do this, and I want to use
that to show critical hosts anyhow.
I just loaded xymon and am very impressed. Have used OpenNMS in the past, and it does very well in comparison. It seems to me to be very practically (and nicely) crated :)
Many thanks in advance!

Duplicate the hosts on another page, then use the "group-only" setting on that page to select which statuses to include.
E.g. you have hosts A, B and C on the normal page:
page finance Finance Servers 10.0.0.1 hostA # telnet 10.0.0.2 hostB # ftp 10.0.0.3 hostC # http://hostC/foo/
The "Finance Servers" page will show all the tests for these hosts. Now create another page with the same hosts, but with a limited set of statuses:
page serverinfo Server status group-only cpu|disk|memory|procs|svcs 0.0.0.0 hostA # noconn 0.0.0.0 hostB # noconn 0.0.0.0 hostC # noconn
The "0.0.0.0 ..... noconn" is to tell Xymon that these hosts are "dummies" so it won't use these lines to figure out what network tests to run for the hosts.
