<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 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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
