Non host based custom test
list Michael Baydoun
We wrote a custom test that monitors the results of all our email servers
reputations.
We don't want to break the test apart by individual mail server, but
rather, have one dot in xymon for the combined reputation of all our mail
servers.
Is it possible to create a "row" to send this status message to?
Added the following to hosts.cfg
{code}
page Mail Mail
0.0.0.0 Mail # noconn
{code}
Which created the Page but not a host (row)
Sent the following status
{code}
echo /usr/lib64/xymon/server/bin/bb localhost "status Mail.Reputation
yellow `/bin/date`
${msg}
"
{code}
but still don't no host/row appears
Suggestions?

Does it show up in ghost clients? Have you used tcpdump to confirm that the message is getting to your server? Paul Root - Senior Engineer Managed Services Systems - CenturyLink

Interesting, it does show up in ghost clients, with the correct name
from hosts.cfg
{code}
0.0.0.0 Mail # noconn
{code}
from ghost report
{code}
127.0.0.1 reported host Mail
