Process monitoring

For our DBA team here we have a separate page for them with the same hosts
listed but only for the things they are interested in viewing such as procs,
mysql, msgs, postgres, disk, memory, oratns...

The same hosts show up on the unix page with the other tests listed there.

We do this by listing the hosts twice in the bb-hosts file, once with
everything under the unix (or windows server) page and once with just #
noconn under the Database page.
You can then also use the group-only command to limit the columns to list on
each.

We do the same thing for our web teams systems.

Ok actually this is kinda difficult to explain since i am also new to
xymon......


I have 3 servers , pro12;fd402;fa411

All thoes servers are already being monitored for hardware on a different
page for the admins


for the dba teams they want a page with specific monitoring.


So i will call it QAD for them.  QAD has no connection only a name

I want to monitor individual processes from FD402 for example and have it
show up as a procs for QAD,.

but if i try to do HOST=QAD
                    proc 'procname'

it dosent show up.

i also dont want in QAD to have any of the hardware monitoring in the admin
page only the procs that will be specific for the dba.. (There is already
procs being monitored for FD402 but those cant show up in QAD either)

I know its possible ive seen it under example websites........

Is there a way in hobbit-client.cfg to say pro12 procs procname
and have it show up under another name.  Do you have to have a script to
do
this for you.  I know in BB they used the bb-proc.sh script
but i thought maybe xymon/hobbit would be more streamlined

Maybe this is what your're looking for (extract from bb-hosts(5) man page):

      NAME:hostname
           Overrides the default hostname used on the overview web
           pages.   If  "hostname"  contains  spaces,  it  must be
           enclosed  in  double  quotes,  e.g.  NAME:"R&D   Oracle
           Server"
