[Xymon] Simple Network Tests not displaying

[Michael Beatty]

Thank you for your reply.

The root issue had everything to do with me not understanding how the 
host.cfg file works.  Namely, when there is more that one host named in 
the file.  In this case, my server is also a client.  I had the server 
defined with its own tags at the top of the hosts file, these tags were 
specific to what I wanted reported on the "server" page and didn't 
include the network tests.  Further down in the hosts.cfg file, I had 
the server again as a client.  I added the tags for those network 
service tests in that location.  Since the host was already defined, 
these tags were ignored.  To correct the issue, I put all of the tags I 
needed with the original host declaration, added a "prefer" tag to it to 
ensure it had priority and put an noconn tag with the second host to 
ensure it didn't have priority.
