[Xymon] Advanced xymondboard query

[Enzo Medina]

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I understand now that xymondboard is no meant to present performance data.
So I will have to read the values from RRD files.

Is there a way to have a list that matches services with their associated
rrd files?
For example:
linux04;cpu=/home/xymon/data/rrd/linux04/la.rrd
linux04;memory=/home/xymon/data/rrd/linux04/memory.actual.rrd,/home/xymon/data/rrd/linux04/memory.real.rrd,/home/xymon/data/rrd/linux04/memory.swap.rrd
checkmk;conn=/home/xymon/data/rrd/checkmk/tcp.conn.rrd
...

Is that information spread in some cfg files?

Kind regards
Enzo
