Is there a way to drop all host data for multiple hosts using a wildcard? I know how to drop a single host and erase it's data, but I have a long list of IP Cameras that I changed in my hosts file and instead of dropping each individual hostname I'd like to drop all hosts that start with 'Cam'. I attempted this but it didn't remove anything.
./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop Cam*"

probably need to use a quick command line 'for' loop. Something like:
for Host in Cam{1..12}; do ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop $Host" done
You also want to remove the other history info as well but I'd have to go find that.

Ok, let me ask the question a little different way. Is there a way to view a list of old hostnames that are not listed in the hosts.cfg file but the server still has old logs stored?

Go to your hostdata directory. It will have a directory for each machine. You can rm -rf Cam* there. Could be more in hist and rrd

Yes, that's how I remove data from time to time, but I was hoping there would be a report that displays via the webpage, similar to the ghostlist.sh

./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop Cam*"
No. You can't use wild cards here. It's dangerous to even think about it.
In our installation, I've written a couple of wrapper scripts which accept multiple host-names as parameters and loop through them. As a one-off, you can do
for i in foo bar baz; do ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop $i"; done
