<div>Xymon will ignore extra task configs with the same name. I don't know which would be honoured, but having two might lead to confusion. If you're not sure that it's taking the tasks.d version, just add to tasks.cfg until you know it's working.</div>

</div></blockquote><div>They are independent, and will only cause a problem if the status message name clashes. In the case of the hosts.cfg entries (run by xymonnet) the status message (and thus the name of the dot on your Xymon display) is called "http". With my example script, I used "webchecks". Feel free to rename this in the script, but be sure to avoid a clash with any existing check names. You could use "http" for this if you wanted to, and remove all "http://" or "https://" checks from hosts.cfg so that xymonnet doesn't report http status messages.</div>
