Xymon generates columns for EVERYTHING unless you tell it not
too. If you don't want all those columns showing up, you need
to tell Xymon this using the "group-only" or "group-except"
designation. If I'm understanding you correctly, your hosts.cfg
file should look like:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">By default Xymon will display every test it
has data for. You can use the 'xymon' command to find out what
these are these: xymon <xymonhostname> 'xymondboard
host=<hostname>'. You can control which tests get
displayed by using the "group" directive in your hosts.cfg
file. See the hosts.cfg man page for details. <o:p></o:p></p>
