That is correct.

Subject: RE: [xymon] Customisation and Migration from BB->Xymon
Hi,
I'm sure that others will chime in with more detail... It's been years since I migrated from BB (and later from Tivoli hosts).
* Is there a way of displaying all currently RED or PURPLE (no Yellow) alerts without playing with the source? *
The 'all non green views' will show red, yellow, purple and blue (yes, I read the question:). Maybe ops can be trained to ignore yellow and blue? Outside of the display you can configure email/pager alerts that fit any need. Sadly, I've not given critical hosts much airtime.
* Is there a simple way to still have "unregistered" hosts show up in the "bb2" page? *
These show up in the 'Ghosts' report. As an admin it's a good idea to have a look at that tab once in a while. Sometimes hostnames don't match up exactly, and sometimes folks do as you describe and install / start the client software without informing the admin.
As for migration, if you can start with a new server and just setup your bb-hosts file from the old system, starting with 'conn' only you can slowly add client software to point to the new system. I found it easier and more explanatory to users/admins to divide the display-views-grouping/bb-hostsfiles based on some criteria (eg. Solaris vs Windows, location a vs location b, webserver vs mailserver, etc.) Splitting bb-hosts into inluded files worked well for me.
Most likely there is a simple way to setup client/server comms on some port other than 1984 -- keeping the current production bb running on 1984 until you are satisfied with the new Xymon implementation (for a group of hosts).
Good Luck.
Tim
