[Xymon] Is it possible to make a custom 'simple view' for non-technical users?

Duplicate the hosts on another page, then use the "group-only" setting 
on that page to select which statuses to include.

E.g. you have hosts A, B and C on the normal page:

page finance Finance Servers
10.0.0.1  hostA  # telnet
10.0.0.2  hostB  # ftp
10.0.0.3  hostC  # http://hostC/foo/

The "Finance Servers" page will show all the tests for these hosts. Now 
create another page with the same hosts, but with a limited set of statuses:

page serverinfo Server status
group-only cpu|disk|memory|procs|svcs
0.0.0.0  hostA	# noconn
0.0.0.0  hostB	# noconn
0.0.0.0  hostC	# noconn


The "0.0.0.0 ..... noconn" is to tell Xymon that these hosts are 
"dummies" so it won't use these lines to figure out what network tests 
to run for the hosts.
