[Xymon] .default. not working?

[Jon Dustin]

Using testip was the whole point, because I wanted to apply that tag to a bunch of hosts. 

I decided to add tags to host entries instead. 

I do not use FQDN, and wondered if that might have something to do with testip. 

 Thanks for the suggestion though!
