Hi all,

We have xymon running and have the following in the analysis.cfg

CLASS=win32
        SVC VMTools startup=automatic status=started


The problem is we have about 10 servers that are physical of over 200 
servers so of course we now get warnings from xymon is reporting the 
service VMTools as RED.

How can I configure the system to exclude the physical servers from 
reporting the VMTools service is not running when it is not even installed 
on the physical servers?

Thanks,
Brad.

Add an
"EXHOST=host1,host2,..." to that SVC line (or the CLASS line, doesn't
matter which). You can also use a regular expression to match the hosts
if that is easier.
