Try this patch - it is against the current "trunk" version, but I think 
it will work on any 4.3.x release, since xymongen hasn't changed as far 
as I recall.

This defines three new "page" categories in the hosts.cfg file, "vpage", 
"vsubpage" and "vsubparent" that work just like the 
"page"/"subpage"/"subparent" definitions, except that they have the 
hostnames across, and the testnames down. "group" definitions are ignored.

Obviously you should not have too many hosts on a page.


You can what it looks like on http://www.xymon.com/xymon/vert/


(Not bad for a couple of hours work on a saturday morning, imho).

Henrik
