Hello,
How can I disable the ping test for the whole hosts.cfg file?
Thanks in advance.

at the top of your hosts.cfg file:
0.0.0.0 .default. # noping
Yes, this will do it.... until the next .default. line in the file. If you are going to use the .default. method, you need to append your 'noping' (or 'noconn', look up the difference) to every .default. line in your file.
Probably a better way to do this is to use the '--noping' option on the 'xymonnet' task in tasks.cfg. Look at the help file for xymonnet for the details.

I had a pretty large xymon install at my previous employer and we didn't use the .default. method at all. Didn't even know it existed. Though after I discovered it, I only used it for a day or two during some maintenance. I guess I like verbosity :-)

Yes, this is probably better but in my opinion it's harder to track down in the future. Make sure you document you changed this :-)
There may be a better way, but I’d think a definition of “.default” with “noconn” associated. You’d have to check the hosts.cfg docs to see for sure if I have that right. There may be another way via a command line option to xymonnnet.
