Cayo,
Are you aware of the "all non-green" and the "Critical systems" views? The
"non-green" view provides you with a condensed view of current problems
across everything you monitor, and it reduces the column count. It also
shows a list of recent transition events so you can see what you might have
missed.
The Critical systems view is even more configurable but you have to take the
time to enter information about each of your hosts and assign them the
correct tags. If you take the time to do this you can provide another nice
display that is somewhat tailored to show the importance of what is being
monitored.
I generally watch the non-green view myself because it provides me "at a
glance" status.
I know you were after something else, but I thought I might share these
thoughts with you in case you are really searching for a way to show
operators "what's important" and the notion of exchanging columns and rows
was just a technique that you wanted to explore...

Thx for the reply Greg.
we are monitoring a medium network with +/- 200 Hosts. Some of the hosts
have a lot of external scripts running and these hosts makes the webpage too
large. One option is to isolate these hosts into a separeted group, but they
are the principal ones and should stay at the main page.

I do not believe it is possible in the current version(s) of Xymon. The
Web page generation code would have to be redone in order to put hosts in
columns and tests in rows. And it would only be effective in cases where
you have more tests than hosts, which will only be true if you have a small
monitoring system or if you are into heavy grouping.
Are all of your columns populated? Do you have more tests than you have
hosts? There are strategies that you can use to reduce the column count so
no scrolling is needed.

Hi guys,
does anybody know, if its possible to make the "check columns" at the
vertical and not horizontal? Its kinda of unhandy when you allways have to
scroll to the left when you want to see all your checks.
Thanks,
Cayo
