[Xymon] suppress log contents from 'msgs' column ?

[John Thurston]

In testing 4.3.20, I've noticed that the 'msgs' column (for hosts 
running the xymon solaris client) contain lines from my logs even when 
they are reporting 'green'. I don't really want the contents of 
/var/adm/messages leaked to every viewer of my Xymon web interface.

I now see that this behavior is also on my 4.3.17 server. I've just 
never noticed it because:
A) I never visit any 'green' bubbles
B) I only have three hosts running the xymon client

When the test goes 'red', I can see value in displaying the offending 
lines from the log, but I can't see any value in continually leaking 
arbitrary lines of my logs to arbitrary users. Is there an easy way to 
suppress these log lines from the green status messages?

Argh. I've only now noticed that the 'cpu' column is also spilling all 
of my running processes. I thought I had taken care of that problem when 
I suppressed the 'procs' column. Does anyone actually derive value from 
having this information continually published on the Xymon web interface 
for all the world to see?
