Question about Combo test / hosts 🔗 link

Dear All,
 
I'm trying to get the combo test working.. At this point I do see the
combo test on the status page, but when I try to get details about one
of the tests I get a message "no such host"
 
My question is.. What should the host name be, and where to configure
it??
Should I send the host name from the client?
Or should the host exists under that name in the hosts.cfg?
 
Current setup:
 
combo.cfg:
GRN.Koppelingen = ( vnoasu4001.KoppelingenGRNA ||
vnobsu4002.KoppelingenGRNB ) 

hosts.cfg relevant lin:
group-only      |Koppelingen| 
145.119.54.28 GRN       # COMMENT:"Prod GRN"
 
 
$ ./combostatus --no-update
combo
status GRN.blueview green Tue Jul  2 11:27:08 2013
 
(vnoasu4001.BlueviewA||vnobsu4002.BlueviewB) = (1||1) = 1
&clear <a
href="/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=vnoasu4001&amp;SERVICE=BlueviewA">vno
asu4001.BlueviewA</a>
&clear <a
href="/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=vnobsu4002&amp;SERVICE=BlueviewB">vno
bsu4002.BlueviewB</a>

 
On the client:
       TEST="KoppelingenGRNA"
        MACHINE="vnoasu4001.KoppelingenGRNA"  
        LINE="status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date`
 
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It goes into hosts.cfg.  You just make up any old hostname you like.  I
have a separate page (group) for combo display like so:

title Cluster of servers number 1
group Cluster1
0.0.0.0 this-cluster # noconn NAME:"This cluster" COMMENT:"Server 1 and
server 2"
0.0.0.0 that-cluster # noconn NAME:"That cluster" COMMENT:"Server 3 and
server 4"
group Cluster2
0.0.0.0 nother-cluster # ...
0.0.0.0 yetnothercluster # ...

I'm naming the clusters as "???-cluster".  Then in combo.cfg, I define each
cluster name and the test being reported:

this-cluster.dns (server1.example.com.dns || server2.example.com.dns)
that-cluster.http (server3.example.com.http || server4.example.com.http)
...

The "dns" and "http" tests must be generated somehow.  In my case, by
standard xymonnet tests listed against the servers in hosts.cfg, like:

10.1.2.3 server1.example.com # ping dns ntp
10.1.2.3 server2.example.com # ping dns ntp

But you can generate the test messages any way you like, such as
"KoppelingenGRNA" in your case.
