Line 505 of Xymon 4.3.2 {src}/lib/htmllog.c shows the following:

        cmt = xmh_item(host, XMH_COMMENT); if (!cmt) cmt = xmh_item(host, XMH_DESCRIPTION);


But in Hobbit 4.2.0, the line was just:

        cmt = bbh_item(host, BBH_COMMENT);


So if the hosts in hosts.cfg have a DESCR: tag but not a COMMENT: tag, Xymon uses the DESCR: tag as the comment.  Was there a reason to add this feature?  I don't like this behavior either, as it makes nongreen.html a little hard to read when you have long DESCR: tags.  It would be nice to have an option for xymongen to turn off this behavior.


Thanks,
Ray
