I have run into similar problems and the only way (without coding
changes) around it is to set up some sub pages that group a number of
tests together ( eg environmental stats, app stats) and then use the
group-only directive to specify which pages show which tests. You would
then end up with a page at the top that lists your various tests eg:

 

OperatingSystem          Application       Environmental

 

And then on each page, the same hosts but with the different tests.

 

The alerts all flow upwards, so from the front page you can still see if
something is wrong. (Or you could open three browser windows with each
window displaying a different page.)

 

I understand your issue but hobbit inherently works to produce a list of
hosts with columns of tests.

I have a page of 4 hosts and 35 custom tests plus the normal client
tests so over 40 columns. Any way to invert this to have just the 4
hosts on the top and the 40+ tests down the side? As it is today it just
doesn't fit/format right on the screen and is hard to view. I wonder if
anyone else has run into this one?

 

Example: The normal Xymon view looks like this

 

            test1    test2    test3    test4    test5    test6    test7
test8    test9    test10    test11    test12    test13    test14
test15     test16     test17     test18     test19     test20

host1

host2

host3

host4

 

Any way to put the hosts on the columns to look like this:

 

            host1    host2    host3    host4

test1

test2

test3

test4

test5

test6

test7

test8

test9

test10

test11

test12

test13

test14

test15

test16

test17

test18

test19

test20
