The Xymon client reports data by machine name (if its a *nix machine it's the return from uname -n), so the only columns you will see for Surprise are the network tests, which are pretty much the only ones that read the hosts.cfg file. Your server is just not seeing any client tests for Surprise. <div>

<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. <u></u><u></u></p>
