RE: [hobbit] not getting ssh status for any host

["Everett, Vernon" <Vernon.Everett (at) woodside.com.au>]

To have a host appear in multiple places is supported and easy - we do it all the time, presenting different view for different groups, some with a limited number of columns.

The error you describe can be avoided by having only ONE "real" entry for your server, and it should look like this.
1.2.3.4  server1 # ssh prefer

All other entries for this server should look like this
0.0.0.0 server1 # noconn

If you want a page with only conn (or any other subgroup of columns) look for the group-only and group-except clauses in the bb-host man pages.
You should have something like this, assuming it is listed elsewhere as the "real" entry.
group-only conn My Servers (Conn only)
0.0.0.0 server1 # noconn

Cheers
      Vernon

I think your best scenario is one where you divorce yourself from the idea of placing a single host's status across multiple pages.

For instance, in an installation with a couple thousand hosts, I too would like to have a page where I could just have my conn status and subpages filled with the rest of what I'm monitoring.  However, I think you're asking a little much of the system (unless Henrik wants to correct me)     :)

What I've found myself doing most is grouping my hosts logically into subpages and sorting by function.  Once into the subpage, then all statuses are completely viewable and available.

I will say this, though, I use the "All Non-Green" view more than anything else in Hobbit/Xymon.  It is our dashboard and our lifeline throughout the day.  We've caught a ton of things that other monitors have missed or fallen short on via that page.

Perhaps looking at the system a different way will give you the coverage you need.

Wish I could be of more help.

Could you re-post this in plain text or something?

In the translation, everything got mangled and I've got all sorts of weird colors and strange white backgrounds with illegible foregrounds.

I'd love to help you if I could, but if I can't even see the issue you're having (or read the seeming mobile-texting speak in your email) then it'll be very hard to give you answers.

Yes, but it makes more sense to me to define the tests on the "real" entries instead of on the copies.  That is not to say that your suggestion would not work!

Except the "group-only conn" will not show the ssh column. So you only need to do this for the "group-only ssh" groups.
