Hi,<br>
<br>
the webpages ignore ghosts if they haven't been heard from for more
than 10 minutes, which includes those servers that have been added
to hosts.cfg.<br>
<br>
The "xymon 127.0.0.1 ghostlist command returns all of the servers
that have - at some time - been recorded as ghosts. The last field
of the output is the timestamp that they were last seen as ghosts,
so if the difference from that timestamp until current time is
greater than 600 seconds, they will not show up on the webpage.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Henrik<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">Is there
a way to clear the ghostlist file and have it
regenerated? I took a look at it (~/server/bin/xymon
127.0.0.1 ghostlist) and I see hosts and IPs (total of
40) that are in my hosts.cfg file. The ghost clients
page in Xymon only shows 6 hosts, which is the correct
number. I am trying to implement the unconfigured
clients script (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/addons:unconfigured_clients">https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/addons:unconfigured_clients</a>)
and it works well however since the ghostlist file has
hosts that should not be there, it makes the display
not 100% correct by putting hosts in 2 pages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
