Remove Column/Test

You may also want to consider going into your client script and 
commenting out the ports check all together so that your client doesn't 
even collect port information and send it to the server.  Each OS has 
its own client script so you'll have to pick out the one you need. 
Client scripts are in client/bin and are called xymonclient-your_OS.sh.  
Just look for the line that says echo "[ports]" and comment out the line 
following it.

There can be a lot of data in there, no sense even sending it if you 
don't need it.

The hosts.cfg file:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   hostname # disk,files,http,cpu,memory,msgs,procs

Note that in this case, I've removed "ports" from the list of tests, and
added "ports" to the "NOCOLUMNS" field, along with inode.

You can place it at the end of your HOST line.

Hi, we do not check for any ports, how do we remove the Ports column
please?  In the documentation
(https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon) it says:

  I don't want to display column foo in my display. How do I do that ?
  A. Add the entry NOCOLUMNS:foo,bar to hide column foo and bar.

but it doesn't say where and it also mentions (in other answers) bb
files that don't exist so I guess it is out of date.  (Is there an
uptodate version of this document t cover the latest Xymon?)
