[Xymon] Turning Hostname into Hyperlink Changes Graph Titles

What I do is to leave the hostname alone, but create a "notes" file for
each hostname I want to access. These files go in XYMONNOTESDIR (defined
in xymonserver.cfg), as standard HTML files. For each of my servers I've
an ssh:// link to the server and http:// to the iLO, plus a few direct
links to useful things within Xymon.
To access notes, just click on the hostname. If the notes file exists, it
will be hotlinked.
Creating the notes files could be automated, but I don't have enough hosts
to make it worthwhile, so I've just done it manually. You can also specify
a HOSTDOCURL in xymonserver.cfg that includes a script to run, and have the
notes pages dynamically created based on the hostnames.
I've done a hybrid solution. I have a generic host type notes file for a
group of hosts, and I create symbolic links to each hostname that points to
the generic file. Within the notes file, I use some javascript-fu to
dynamically generate the details on-the-fly.
For anyone interested in giving it a try, I'll append the HTML file below.
