Hi Chris:

to avoid having the yum test polluting your nongreen page you can use the xymongen option --nongreen-ignorecolumns=test[,test] (see man xymongen, define in tasks.cfg)

The group-only recommendation is also ok for all the normal pages, but then you will lose all the flexibility of the group directive. For your scenario i would recommend to use the xymongen option --ignorecolumns=test[,test] preventing the creation of your yum column et all, and then create a small script that collects the yum data and create the a yum page (very basic to get the idea):

xymon localhost "xymondboard test=yum" | xymonpage > $XYMONWWWDIR/yum_summary_page.html

Hi Scott

Thanx, I will explore group-only option,

Appreciated.

Would the “group-only” option suffice to show only those columns that you want?

  Good day.

  Hope all is well.

  I configured yum tests on all my Linux servers. The test works great.
  Problem is doesn’t matter how often you update the server, it wont be
  long before the yum test changes state.

  We look at the non-green view to display current issues(on a large
  led screen), the non-green view will show all the servers that has a
  yellow or red alert associated with them, thus all the Linux servers
  will show.

  The yum test is a script running on each server, configured
  clientlaunch.cfg for each server to run the script every n minites.

  My question is if it is possible to configure xymon to display all
  the yum related info for all servers on a page and exclude the yum
  tests from the different pages where the servers are configured?

  Or if there is a solution out there that I can implement to keep the
  non-green view to show current related issues, please send link to a
  guide that can assist me.

  Kind Regards
