Ok actually this is kinda difficult to explain since i am also new to xymon......

I have 3 servers , pro12;fd402;fa411

All thoes servers are already being monitored for hardware on a different page for the admins

for the dba teams they want a page with specific monitoring.

So i will call it QAD for them. QAD has no connection only a name

I want to monitor individual processes from FD402 for example and have it show up as a procs for QAD,.

but if i try to do HOST=QAD proc 'procname'

it dosent show up.

i also dont want in QAD to have any of the hardware monitoring in the admin page only the procs that will be specific for the dba.. (There is already procs being monitored for FD402 but those cant show up in QAD either)

I know its possible ive seen it under example websites........

Maybe this is what your're looking for (extract from bb-hosts(5) man page):

  NAME:hostname

That does work however....

The AIX admins what to only see the process that they want...

The dba only want to see their's on the dba page The procs i want to show up will consist of their own and it will not show up on the aix page

So AIX will have 4 show up and the DBA will not have them show up but 4 different ones. This way when a process goes down it wont alert both groups.

For our DBA team here we have a separate page for them with the same hosts listed but only for the things they are interested in viewing such as procs, mysql, msgs, postgres, disk, memory, oratns...

The same hosts show up on the unix page with the other tests listed there.

We do this by listing the hosts twice in the bb-hosts file, once with everything under the unix (or windows server) page and once with just # noconn under the Database page. You can then also use the group-only command to limit the columns to list on each.

We do the same thing for our web teams systems.

I figured it out.

I wrote a script that will be on fd402 and it will monitor the processes that the dba wants.

Than i have it report to the machine quad.

That way it will keep them seperate when reporting as if quad was a server

Thank you for everyones help....and dominique your idea words too!

The only possibility I see is to run two clients on host fd402. The second client will be started with --hostname=quad

bb-hosts:

10.11.12.13 fd402 # <all tests>
10.11.12.13 quad  # noconn

hobbit-clients.cfg:

HOST=fd402
   PROC myproc1
HOST=quad
   PROC myproc2

hobbit-alerts.cfg:

HOST=fd402
   MAIL admin at example.com
HOST=quad SERVICE=procs
   MAIL dba at example.com
