One trend page for more than one host

Hi,
Is there a way to show the trends for more than one host on one page?

I have 2 Linux hosts that support 1 application. I'd like to be able to view the cpu (for example) for both of them together on one page.
The trends column for each host shows all of the graphs for that host, I would like to be able to view these 2 at the same time without having to flip between browser tabs.

Thanks
Steve

It may not be exactly what you're looking for but have you looked at the "Metrics Report" under the "Reports" dropdown?

Hi Steve

My solution to the same problem, was to craft my own web page.
The graphs all have their own URL, which you can insert into any web page.
Ours has no frills, just the graphs, because we use it to cut & paste into
management reports.
But there is nothing stopping you from generating the web pages to look the
same as a Xymon web page, and even including it in the menu.

Regards
Vernon

As a variation on this theme, in the past I've used a wiki to do this, so
that anyone can craft up their own custom web page, embedding only the
images they care about.  Requires no HTML skills.

As I've just discovered, you can even do this in a Word document, by
embedding an image by URL:

Insert -> Quick Parts -> IncludePicture -> (paste URL into FIlename field)
-> (tick "Data not stored with document") -> OK.

Or: Insert -> Picture -> (paste URL into Filename field) -> Insert and Link

The results are somehow different objects, but as far as the images go,
they behave the same.

To refresh the images in the document, select all (or the image you want to
refresh) and press F9. This could be run from a macro button.

This is a good format to send to a manager who doesn't want to wade through
dozens of different trends pages to find what's useful; or for instructions
for a change that requires pre- and post-change monitoring of the graphs.
