same test appearing multiple times in 'info' page for several hosts...
To make a long story short, the server running xymon crashed (UPS failure).
Now I have several hosts which are showing purple status icons for all tests, but if you click on the purple icon, the subsequent page is green. Viewing the trend graphs shows that the host is reporting data, and the data/<host>/*.rrd files are updating as expected.
Viewing the info page for the host in question shows that the same test is apparently defined multiple (up to 50) times:
<< text cut at paste from info page, showing multiple instances of 'conn' test >> Status summary ServiceSinceDuration connMon Jun 08 08:11:44 200915 days, 03 hours, 12 minutes connMon Jun 22 17:35:35 20090 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes connMon Jun 22 17:35:35 20090 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes connMon Jun 22 17:35:35 20090 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes connMon Jun 22 17:35:35 20090 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes connMon Jun 22 17:35:35 20090 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes connMon Jun 22 17:35:35 20090 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes connMon Jun 22 17:35:35 20090 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes connMon Jun 22 17:35:35 20090 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes
can anyone shed some light on where to start with this? I'd rather not drop the host and then re-add it, since I need the history.

Yes, the ghost report is blank. The hosts in question just seem to have the same test defined multiple times; 1 instance of the test has a green status, the rest (all of which have the timestamp from when the client host came back up) are all purple. Subsequently, the purple status is the one that seems to be displayed on the main page.

Found a simple solution; just drop the test as many times as there are instances of the test. As soon as the client next sends back data for that test, the status goes from empty (-) to green again.
Still not clear why this happened in the first place, but it's kind of a moot point now.
