Ok, let me ask the question a little different way.  Is there a way to 
view a list of old hostnames that are not listed in the hosts.cfg file 
but the server still has old logs stored?

probably need to use a quick command line 'for' loop.  Something like:

for Host in Cam{1..12}; do
./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop $Host"
done

You also want to remove the other history info as well but I'd have to 
go find that.

    Is there a way to drop all host data for multiple hosts using a
    wildcard?  I know how to drop a single host and erase it's data,
    but I
    have a long list of IP Cameras that I changed in my hosts file and
    instead of dropping each individual hostname I'd like to drop all
    hosts
    that start with 'Cam'.  I attempted this but it didn't remove
    anything.

    ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop Cam*"
