Is there a way to move a graph (like the cpu) graph to the top of the

of the page.
I don't think it can be done by fooling with config files, at least not
in
xymon-4.3.0-beta2.  If you're up to altering the source, I think the
relevant bit is around line 312 in  xymon-4.3.0-beta2/lib/htmllog.c :

        if (!htmlfmt) fprintf(output, "<PRE>\n");
        textwithcolorimg(restofmsg, output);
        if (!htmlfmt) fprintf(output, "\n</PRE>\n");

Moving that down to around line 450 puts the content of the status
message
under everything else.  I don't *think* that would break anything else,
but
you should back up your xymon installation before doing the update...

As written in hobbitserver.cfg, section GRAPHS :
"This defines which RRD files to include on the "trends" column webpage,
and the order in which they appear"

So I think you should put "la" (Load Average) to the top of the values
defined in variable GRAPHS, like this :

GRAPHS="la,disk,test,other_test,..."
The OP said "need to scroll through the list of processes to see the graph",
which suggests he's looking at the cpu detail page, not the trends page.
