[Xymon] Poll: How many are using the "dispinclude" and "netinclude" options in hosts.cfg / bb-hosts ?

[Peter Welter]

Well, we do. :-)

I use this to make different kind of views: SLA-view, Solaris-view,
Windows-view, etc, and still keeping the configuration a one place to stop
and modify.

All bb-hosts-files are inluded or dispincluded and made up on separate
pages.
