By default Xymon will display every test it has data for. You can use the
'xymon' command to find out what these are these: xymon <xymonhostname>
'xymondboard host=<hostname>'. You can control which tests get displayed by
using the "group" directive in your hosts.cfg file. See the hosts.cfg man
page for details.

 All –

Besides adding specific tags for services / tests in hosts.cfg, what
determines which service columns appear on web page for a particular
client? I.e. I have some clients in my environment which do not have any
tags in hosts.cfg, but display several “tests”.

I see part of the puzzle: the client runs (in my case):
~/xymon/client_sunos-5.10/bin/xymonclient-sunos.sh, which generates the
following columns of data

                date
                uname
                uptime
                who
                df
                mount
                prtconf
                memory
                swap
                swaplist
                ifconfig
                route
                netstat
                ports
                ifstat
                ps
                top

I also see there’s a file called ~/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg,
which is like the server-side “tasks.cfg” in concept / syntax.

However, what determines which of these stanzas applies for which-host?

Thanks!
