[Xymon] Increasing Tooltip usability

[Schoemaker, Marco]

Warning, newbie question,



Currently xymon shows states by colored icons. The alt tag of the image is filled with the name of the icon color (for visuality impaired?). In case the icon states the status of a single resource, it would be more useful to fill the alt tag with the actual message. As an example the disk status icon:



<A HREF="/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=sodn025w5&SERVICE=disk"><IMG

SRC="/xymon/gifs/red.gif" ALT="disk:red:14d21h55m" TITLE="disk:red:14d21h55m"

HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="16" BORDER=0></A></TD>



I would rather have the ALT and TITLE tag filled with the actual message:



       Disk D 98% 14d21h55m



Can this be done simply?



BTW 4.3.9 doesn't compile on 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64:



httptest.c: In function âadd_http_testâ:

httptest.c:552: error: âerrnoâ undeclared (first use in this function)

httptest.c:552: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

httptest.c:552: error: for each function it appears in.)

make[1]: *** [httptest.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xymon-4.3.9/xymonnet'

make: *** [xymonnet-build] Error 2



Adding include <errno.h> helps :)
