Have an odd thing that popped up with analysis.cfg
I renamed all of my groups in hosts.cfg so that everything was consistent – then tried this in analysis.cfg:
DISPLAYGROUP="Bastion" PROC /usr/bin/pt-heartbeat 2 8 red
However, this PROC got applied to all hosts in the hosts.cfg (and procs went red for ~800 hosts or so, until I removed it)
Is it an issue with analysis.cfg? Or because I use the group bastion several times in hosts.cfg, or?
Snippet of hosts.cfg:
group Script Servers 0.0.0.0 some.VIP.that.monitored.elseware # NET:tools-mon page Oceanic group Bastion 10.249.5.8 monitor-01.somedomain.com # NET:oceanic-mom group Web Servers 10.249.5.2 web-01.somedomain.com # NET:oceanic-mom page rio-texas RIO Production Servers group VIP 0.0.0.0 anotherVIP.monitored.elseware# NET:xymon-server group Bastion 127.0.0.1 rio-monitor-01.somedomain.com # NET:rio-tex

Could be the multiple listings of the same group. Not sure.
Have you tried running "xymond_client --test" and see what that shows?
Shows blank:
LOG /var/log/mysqld.log MATCH=ERROR COLOR=red HOST=%rio-db-*.* (line: 332) [ that is last stanza before the DISPLAYGROUP= line, which is below] PROC /usr/bin/pt-heartbeat 2 8 red (line: 336) UP 3600 -1 (line: 342) LOAD 1.00 3.00 (line: 343) DISK * 90% 95% 0 -1 red (line: 344) MEMREAL 100 101 (line: 345)
So that DISPLAYGROUP="Bastion" line gets lumped in with the default lines
So, I can see why it's red/applied to all – it thinks it should be
But, I knew that much already, hence my email to the group :-D
The man page for analysis.cfg says DISPLAYGROUP='blah' is one of the valid ways of selecting dudes… but then it's missing

It just doesn't appear to work at all
I changed it so there were no duplicate groups
Xymon host.cfg:
group fortification 10.24.32.75 unified-monitor-01.somedomain.com # NET:xymon-server
Analysis.cfg:
DISPLAYGROUP="fortification" PROC /usr/bin/pt-heartbeat 2 8 red
That line gets applied to all hosts as a default, not the single host in the group 'fortification'
Xymond_client —test ?dump shows it applied to all (and the gui did as well)
