Hmm, I see how I could use "group-except xymond|xymongen|xymonnet Servers" to eliminate the unwanted columns from that group, but how do I add them to the "xymon server modules" line (which is on its own, without & before the first group* directive)?

Hi Marcin,
rather than using the group directive look at the man page for hosts.cfg https://xymon/xymon/help/manpages/man5/hosts.cfg.5.html and find the section describing group-only and group-except. Those are special versions of the group command which let you include or exclude certain columns.

My old hobbit config:
127.0.0.1???? localhost? # noconn bbd NAME:"xymon server modules"
group Servers
<server1-ip>? server1? ? # http://server1/???? NOCOLUMNS:files,ports
<server2-ip>? server2??? # http://server2/path NOCOLUMNS:files,ports
<server3-ip>? ...
...
used to display hobbit-server-specific tests separate from the other tests, even though the modules reported actually run on server1.? This was a nifty trick not to have these tests listed for all servers, with only server1 reporting, and others displaying dashes.
After moving to xymon, on the "xymon server modules" I only see bbd, info, and trends; xymond, xymongen, and xymonnet magically moved to the server1 line, defeating the purpose of this split.
How can I achieve this split, where xymon server modules are listed on their own line?
