[Xymon] drop multiple hosts with wildcard

[Root, Paul T]

Go to your hostdata directory. It will have a directory for each machine. You can rm -rf Cam* there.
Could be more in hist and rrd

Ok, let me ask the question a little different way.  Is there a way to view a list of old hostnames that are not listed in the hosts.cfg file but the server still has old logs stored?

probably need to use a quick command line 'for' loop.  Something like:

for Host in Cam{1..12}; do
./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop $Host"
done

You also want to remove the other history info as well but I'd have to go find that.

have a long list of IP Cameras that I changed in my hosts file and
instead of dropping each individual hostname I'd like to drop all hosts
that start with 'Cam'.  I attempted this but it didn't remove anything.

./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop Cam*"
