[Xymon] Problems with 'COMPACT'

[Tom Schmidt]

I attempted to use COMPACT once to try to combine ftp and ftps tests into a
single column.  However, when I did that, I then only received the ftp
status page and graph instead of it "merging" the two columns data into one
status report as I had hoped.

I know this is not the same issue that you are reporting, but I do not
think the COMPACT function works as intended.
