Hi, All!

In poking around my data directory, I see a listing like this for
the “cpu” test data for one of my hosts:

$  ls -rt /export/xymon/data/histlogs/pwmu002/cpu/ total 61

Each of these files is some sort of snapshot of the data displayed
when you click on the “cpu” icon for the indicated host in Xymon.

Why then, is the most recent data file a couple weeks old but the
data displayed for the “cpu” icon is current on the screen?
My immediate guess is because it has been green for a couple of weeks,
and the "current" status is accessed a different way (not using
history files).
