Yes, that's how I remove data from time to time, but I was hoping there would be a report that displays via the webpage, similar to the ghostlist.sh

Go to your hostdata directory. It will have a directory for each machine. You can rm -rf Cam* there.

Could be more in hist and rrd

Ok, let me ask the question a little different way.  Is there a way to view a list of old hostnames that are not listed in the hosts.cfg file but the server still has old logs stored?

    probably need to use a quick command line 'for' loop.  Something
    like:

    for Host in Cam{1..12}; do

    ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop $Host"

    done

    You also want to remove the other history info as well but I'd
    have to go find that.

        data, but I
        have a long list of IP Cameras that I changed in my hosts file
        and
        instead of dropping each individual hostname I'd like to drop
        all hosts
        that start with 'Cam'.  I attempted this but it didn't remove
        anything.

        ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop Cam*"
