problem with subpagecolums

[Henrik Størner]

What you're trying to do is not really the way the Xymon webpages
was thought out to be. Xymon treats a single host as a whole,
you want to see services instead. So you have ssh for all of the
hosts in one group, conn for all of the hosts in another and so
on. The Xymon webpages works differently - it will group by
host, not by service.

So this issue is not resolved in 4.3.x, and unless someone
provides a different tool for building the webpages, it will
not be resolved. The standard bbgen tool cannot be made to
work the way you want it to.


Regards,
Henrik
