I recently did pretty much exactly what you're wanting to do, but with
xymon-4.3.7.  I'm away from work this week so I can't check my script, but
as far as I remember, I just sent the table tags with plain text in the
boxes.  I don't think I did anything special to make it work.

As Jeremy says, the report text is displayed between <pre> tags, and at a
previous $JOB I had scripts that sent in reports starting with the closing
</pre> tag and ending with the opening <pre> tag.  That might have been
xymon-4.2.X, but it should still work with 4.3.10.

 That's an interesting one. I've been meaning to look into that.

 If I remember correctly Xymon puts in a <pre> before your output which
defeats the formatting.

 How about </pre> Your output with HTML tags followed by <pre>?

  I’m trying to  get the format of a new custom test I’m writing correct.


What I want it to look like is:


                                                Title


                Header                 Header                 Header

                Field                      Field                      Field

                .
.                               .

                .
.                               .


                                Trailing  info


When I put in html tags, I get a full page of blank under the “History”
button, then my output. Also, my trailing info comes first.


So how can I add a table into the status message of the xymon command?


My servers are 4.3.10, the clients are 4.2.3 or 4.3.4.
