Issue with NOCOLUMNS in default section of hosts.cfg

John,
  Thank you, you were correct, it needs the space between the "#" and
"NOCOLUMNS"

0.0.0.0	.default.	#NOCOLUMNS:files,ports

Works great.

Really appreciate the help folks !

Jim

Hello Jim,

0.0.0.0 .default. # NOCOLUMNS:procs,ports,clientlog,files

Is working for me on 4.3.30
I have it on top of the hosts.cfg file

Yes, likewise the format I have is different from those shown by the
OP. Ours
starts with: 0.0.0.0   .default.   # NOCOLUMNS:bbd,...

Perhaps it's just the space between the '#' and 'NOCOLUMNS' that is
required.

hosts.cfg

This is doubtless a completely STUPID question.

Have been using Xymon since BB, then Hobbit days...recently
upgraded to
4.3.30 and moved/replaced the main host it was running on.

To the point, I have everything working, but... on the main
display, I have
getting columns for "files" and "ports".

More to the point, previously this worked. I have an entry at the
TOP of the
hosts.cfg file that looks like this:
# hosts.cfg file
.default.       NOCOLUMNS:ports,files
199.33.251.50   joshua.judahnet.net     # conn dns ntp bbd smtp ssh
199.33.251.52   ezekiel.judahnet.net    # conn dns ntp smtp ssh

And it worked..
I have tried changing that line to
.default.       #NOCOLUMNS:ports,files
OR
0.0.0.0.        .default.       #NOCOLUMNS:ports,files
OR
0.0.0.0.        .default.       NOCOLUMNS:ports,files

None of them work...

I can append on the END of all the individual HOSTS lines
"NOCOLUMNS:ports,files"... and that works...

What am I doing wrong with default section ?

Jim
