thanks for your mail. Good ideas for enhancements are always welcome, and it certainly makes sense to be able to split the disk-status reports the way you propose.
I was planning this feature, in a more general fashion. It can equally well be used for other of the combined status-reports, e.g. "procs" would be an obvious candidate for splitting up this way. So it is something that I plan on implementing via an enhancement to the analysis.cfg file. Right now my plan is to add a STATUS definition at a level above the current HOST/PAGE/GROUP ... definitions, something like:
STATUS=disk_sys HOST=* DISK / 70 90 DISK /var 80 95
STATUS=disk_db HOST=%^oraserv DISK %^/oradata 95 98 DISK %rollback 60 90 HOST=%mysql DISK /var/lib/mysql 80 90
so you can define the criteria that trigger a "disk_db" status by selecting on hostnames or any of the other criteria, and then defining the tests that go into the "disk_db" status.
This would also allow you to combine tests that are now separate, e.g. all tests regarding a database instance:
STATUS=dbw1 HOST=* DISK ^/oradata/dbw1 80 90 PROC ora_dbw1_wssu1
I expect this to be ready for the 5.0 release, since this release involves a lot of enhancements to the xymond_client / analysis.cfg code.
I have cross-posted this mail to the normal Xymon mailing list, since I expect there may be others who are interested in this. I hope you don't mind.
Regards, Henrik
That would extremely helpful. Any idea when 5.0 will be released?
Thanks, Larry Barber

When it's done.
Seriously, I have stopped making predictions on release-dates. Real life activities have a nasty habit of interfering with the amount of time I have for coding.
