The nongreen.html file shows the host type and description from info column gets appended into the hostname. It was not like that with bb2.html

This is an upgrade from hobbit 4.2.0 to xymon 4.3.2

So among other stuff I have the Host type and Description shows in info column as always

https://xymon.example.net/hobbit- cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=storage.example.net&SERVICE=info

Host type: Array Description: Loc 38B, S/N 12345678

However this info now gets appended into the host name in nongreen.html page like below and makes the page real wide with even longer description

https://xymon.example.net/hobbit/nongreen.html

storage.example.net (Array:Loc 38B, S/N 12345678) list of services column

I must have managed to break a template? I removed the server/web/* and just uploaded /usr/src/xymon-4.3.2/xymond/webfiles/* using tar.

still need help with this

[Lee, Raymond]

Line 505 of Xymon 4.3.2 {src}/lib/htmllog.c shows the following:

    cmt = xmh_item(host, XMH_COMMENT); if (!cmt) cmt = xmh_item(host, XMH_DESCRIPTION);

But in Hobbit 4.2.0, the line was just:

    cmt = bbh_item(host, BBH_COMMENT);

So if the hosts in hosts.cfg have a DESCR: tag but not a COMMENT: tag, Xymon uses the DESCR: tag as the comment. Was there a reason to add this feature? I don't like this behavior either, as it makes nongreen.html a little hard to read when you have long DESCR: tags. It would be nice to have an option for xymongen to turn off this behavior.

Thanks, Ray
