<div dir="ltr">Ok, I thought I had this working, but not quite. I'm noticing that only one PROC is ever evaluated from my groups in addition to any custom procs listed for the specific server. Here is an example:<div style>
Host: tee which is defined in 4 places:</div><div style>DELTS/DB</div><div style>DELTS2/LINUX</div><div style>DELTS2/L-VM</div><div style>DELTS2/T-L-PROD</div><div style><br></div><div style>analysis.cfg</div><div style><div>
PAGE=DELTS2/LINUX </div><div> PROC cron 1 -1 red "TEXT=crond : Task Scheduler"</div><div> PROC ntpd 1 -1 yellow "TEXT=ntpd : Network Time Client"</div><div><br></div><div><div>PAGE=DELTS2/L-VM</div>
<div> PROC vmware-guestd 1 -1 yellow "TEXT=VMWare Tools"</div></div><div><br></div><div><div>HOST=tee</div><div> PROC mysqld 2 -1 red</div></div><div><br></div><div style>But when I look at tee, only two procs are monitored, cron and mysqld. If I comment out cron, the ntpd is monitored along with mysqld. This seems to happen across all servers. If there are additional procs under the individual HOST entry, they are also monitored successfully.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I did a bit of testing with ./xymond_client --test --debug and I seem to get the same result, but I can't figure out why it will only evaluate one PROC test from my lists.</div><div style>
<br></div><div style>The only other change I made that may be significant is that I configured a Windows server to use central mode so that I can start monitoring services on Windows machines. I had to make some of the Xymon message variables a bit bigger to accomplish this. Not sure if it is related though.</div>

<br>We have three sub pages, and one sub-sub page. I assume under this setup, you would need more subpages splintering off the main home page for this to work. Although it would be nice at a glance to see all of the server grouped by my various 'tags' as well as function.<br>

</div><div><p class="MsoNormal">What I would like to do is get a bit more specific. We have a mix of physical machines, virtual machines, and linux machines, windows machines, and production machines and development machines.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I'd like to be able to tag hosts somehow so I can do something like this:<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Host 1 = Linux, Production, VM<u></u><u></u></p>

</div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I understand that if I had hosts configured into like groups, or subpages then I could target the whole works that way, but I currently have my hosts configured in a way that this is not practical. Essentially I have all hosts divided into 3 major groups, and then a number of subgroups, and then the hosts are listed here based on application cluster or function. Basing it on groups or pages would also require me to create a bunch of additional rules to account for each of the situations above, whereas something like a tag that a host could have multiple of would simplify things.<u></u><u></u></p>
