Remove Column/Test
list Nick Pettefar
Hi, we do not check for any ports, how do we remove the Ports column please? In the documentation (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon) it says: I don't want to display column foo in my display. How do I do that ? A. Add the entry NOCOLUMNS:foo,bar to hide column foo and bar. but it doesn't say where and it also mentions (in other answers) bb files that don't exist so I guess it is out of date. (Is there an uptodate version of this document t cover the latest Xymon?) Regards, Nick Pettefar

You can place it at the end of your HOST line. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org "It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that. No one ever just stops by to say 'hi' anymore." --Colonel Jack O'Neill, SG1

The hosts.cfg file: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hostname # disk,files,http,cpu,memory,msgs,procs http://wiki.fhmc.local/ NOCOLUMNS:inode,ports Note that in this case, I've removed "ports" from the list of tests, and added "ports" to the "NOCOLUMNS" field, along with inode.

You may also want to consider going into your client script and commenting out the ports check all together so that your client doesn't even collect port information and send it to the server. Each OS has its own client script so you'll have to pick out the one you need. Client scripts are in client/bin and are called xymonclient-your_OS.sh. Just look for the line that says echo "[ports]" and comment out the line following it. There can be a lot of data in there, no sense even sending it if you don't need it. Michael Beatty
