In preparation of a client sending data to a Xymon server, a hosts.cfg file was set up as follows:
page page Page 0.0.0.0 server1 # noconn 0.0.0.0 server1.a # noconn 0.0.0.0 server1.b # noconn subpage subpage Subpage [HOSTIP] [HOST]
Having received no data from the client yet, I would expect to see these 3 servers on the Page, instead all I see is a Page with a link to a Subpage which correctly displays my server. Is there a way (some configuration setting or option) to have the servers show up on the Page with dashes (-) for the column names until I actually receive data?
Thanks, D

You don't say how your setup is done (mine for example is split between display and network test machines), but mine DOES work that way -- as long as the host is in the bb-hosts file (I'm still running 4.2.3) on the machine generating the web page, it will be there with -'s.

Ryan,
Thanks for the reply. Granted I didn't add much detail because this is in "preparation" of adding clients, so this is just the Xymon display server (a default install) I'm dealing with. It's a very basic config using RH5 or RH6 (happens on both) and the latest(?) version of Xymon - 4.3.7. I used to play with an older version (back when it was named "Hobbit") that did display the dashes, which is why I'm asking - to see if this is just a new setting and/or a bug - and I've tried to make it as simple as possible for anyone to replicate.
Thanks, D

No, it is a silly restriction in the xymongen tool that it won't show any hosts on a page until there is at least one status reported for a host on that page.
