[Xymon] Couple of questions on client data

[David Boyer]

Ryan,

         JC beat me to the reply!  Xymon works a bit differently than Big
Brother.  It only archives the "changes in state" verses keeping iteration
by default.
So, in one of my ext scripts, I have it go "clear status (blue)" for 1
iteration thereby it now becomes a historial event.
