If it's its own subpage already, you can use the BOARDFILTER environment
variable read by xymongen and something like this. If it's not a distinct
page, but is a distinct file, you can just feed the file directly as the
HOSTSCFG variable

This is an untested (!), hastily-genericized version of a script we use
internally as one of our dashboards. We have a huge number of host-like
objects in hosts.cfg, so being able to create special nongreen subviews
helps keep certain dashboards useful.

Just set this to run via a tasks.cfg stanza like normal, editing the
parameters as needed.

#!/bin/sh

# Create a special page for a "specialsites-only"-ish production view of
nongreen (outages)
#
PAGESCREATED="red nongreen critical"
LABEL="specialsites"

# You should run this from the xymon environment
test -z "$XYMONTMP" && echo "XYMONTMP is empty" && exit 1


# Save the real output dir so we know where to put the results
oldXYMONWWWDIR="$XYMONWWWDIR"
export XYMONWWWDIR="$XYMONTMP/xymongen_${LABEL}.$$"
mkdir -p "$XYMONWWWDIR"

# optional - if you have them in a segregated hosts.cfg file anyway
# export HOSTSCFG=/etc/xymon/hosts.d/all-specialsites-list

# Only include items on this specific page... eg, "page=importantsites
test=http"
export BOARDFILTER="page=${LABEL}${TESTFILTER}"

xymongen --recentgifs --nopropack='*' --report=xymongen-${LABEL}

if [ "$RES" -gt 0 ] ; then
        echo "xymongen-${LABEL} exited with $RES dealing with
$XYMONWWWDIR" >&2
		# safe - see above

			rm -f "$XYMONWWWDIR/${THIS}.html"

# should be empty
rmdir "$XYMONWWWDIR"

exit 0
