I have a high-visibility request to change all of our server http
tests so that they appear as separate tests per URL,  with the ability

As most of our web servers are application servers in one form or
another, the various URL's test very different functionality.
I have been thinking about making this configurable, so you could do

   http=App1;http://myserver/App1 http=App2;http://myserver/App2

and have "App1" and "App2" appears as separate columns.


Haven't done any code yet, though, since this would happen "automagically"
with the new network tester I have underway for Xymon 5.0. So putting it
into 4.x would be somewhat of a wasted effort.

But I have the same issue myself, so perhaps I should look at how much
effort it would take.
