Hey,


I have a few pages that have lots of tests but few servers so I wanted to see if vpage would work for me.  It did what I wanted except it has an all or nothing aspect to it.  Ideally, vpage would let me keep my organizational structure (including the group headers) and only switch the tests to the rows.  Or am I missing something?  I read the man page and tried several different setups but couldn't make it work the way I'd hoped.  Anyone else managed to get Xymon rendering to work this way?


thanks

It is pretty specific in the man-page with regards to vpage:
Note that the "group" directives have no effect on these types of pages.
I could see benefits to having some control over the vertical placement 
and breaks on a vpage, but it seems clear to me that it is not expected 
to work.

As I said, I read the docs.  I was just hoping I had misread them :-).  It would be nice if this were an option rather than a separate type.  Guess I'll just have to break out the tests into separate groups for now.

thanks
