Questions about migrating from BB

Good afternoon,

I am new to this list and probably will be new to xymon shortly. I have
currently installed it and am testing it out.

My current BB system consists of a BBDISPLAY machine, and two BBNET
machines. The two BBNET machines are on either sides of a firewall and
are housed on two different Solaris 10 zones.

I /think/ I know how to set this up, but there are some aspects of it
that look like they might be irritating if there's no good answer for them:

First off, my BBDISPLAY does no network monitoring. This looks as simple
as setting DISABLE on the appropriate part of hobbitlaunch.cfg, so this
seems pretty easy.

Next, my network machines. I don't really want to have to install
RRDTool on it. Is that really necessary? Isn't it only used for display,
or is it also needed by a machine that only does network testing? It
looks like then as far as splitting up which tests run from where, I can
use BBLOCATION and NET:$BBLOCATION, but it appears as if this is by
host, not by test. Any recommendations?

Lastly, is there any concept of escalation in xymon as there is in BB? I
wouldn't necessarily miss it, but I do currently use it. (Escalation is
that no one can acknowledge a page in such a way that will keep it from
reaching the escalated party, except that person).
