thanks again for the answer Greg.<br><br>you are right, these views are a way better then the normal one, because you only see whats wrong in your system. I usually use the "all non-green" view and Im happy with that. The "Critical systems" view seems to be nice, but I never took the time to lern more about it. <br>
<br>I was only looking for a solution to the people who likes to watch all hosts in the main view. I really though this would be easier, because I saw one "hobbit tunning" topic, where an user made an amazing GUI for hobbit, which is controlled by css.<br>

<div>Cayo,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are you aware of the "all non-green" and the "Critical systems" views? The "non-green" view provides you with a condensed view of current problems across everything you monitor, and it reduces the column count. It also shows a list of recent transition events so you can see what you might have missed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Critical systems view is even more configurable but you have to take the time to enter information about each of your hosts and assign them the correct tags. If you take the time to do this you can provide another nice display that is somewhat tailored to show the importance of what is being monitored.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I generally watch the non-green view myself because it provides me "at a glance" status.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know you were after something else, but I thought I might share these thoughts with you in case you are really searching for a way to show operators "what's important" and the notion of exchanging columns and rows was just a technique that you wanted to explore...</div>

Some of the hosts have a lot of external scripts running and these hosts makes the webpage too large. One option is to isolate these hosts into a separeted group, but they are the principal ones and should stay at the main page.<br>

<div>I do not believe it is possible in the current version(s) of Xymon. The Web page generation code would have to be redone in order to put hosts in columns and tests in rows. And it would only be effective in cases where you have more tests than hosts, which will only be true if you have a small monitoring system or if you are into heavy grouping.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are all of your columns populated? Do you have more tests than you have hosts? There are strategies that you can use to reduce the column count so no scrolling is needed.</div>

Its kinda of unhandy when you allways have to scroll to the left when you want to see all your checks.<br>
