RE: [hobbit] Providing a description of listed systems?



Yes, if you could share this perl script, I am thinking about following in your footsteps.

Would you mind sharing this small perl script with me ?

Thanks for the help!

I ended up using BBGEN's --docurl option, it seems cleaner, and it's built-in.

--docurl only accepts URLs which are static HTML, or CGI scripts.  It does not, for example, accept a link which includes a hash '#' character.  I even tried to escape it with a backslash, but it didn't work.  So I had to get creative.

I wrote a very small perl script and popped it into my cgi-bin directory.  The script simply takes the %s argument which can be passed via --docurl, and redirects to the correct site using HTML anchors '#'.

E.g.:
--docurl=xymon-cgi/docurl.cgi?%s

%s would be something like "host.domain.com'"

docurl.cgi redirects to:
http://somesite.domain.com/pages/page.html#host.domain.com

Which jumps to the correct section in the document with the host details.


Thanks again again all!
Bobby

There is a notes directory. You can either create a file within the notes directory with the same name as the host or you can create a folder and place an index.html file, etc. If the file or directory exists, the hostname will be hyperlinked to these files.

Hi Rich,

Is this the one you're talking about?
http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/addons:hobbitnotes

It looks like it is an addon to edit existing notes files from a web interface.  But I didn't know Xymon had existing notes files.. I would be just as happy to edit them on the command line.  Am I understanding this correctly?

I noticed that when I mouse over the names of the systems listed in Xymon, a nice little pop-up shows the IP address of the system.

This info is great and saves me a lot of time.  However, I would like to somehow add a more detailed description of the system, and have it appear in Xymon, either by mouse-over like with the IP address, or by clicking on the name of the system (a link).

Is there any way to do this, or is there any other mechanism for providing a more detailed description of any given system within the monitored list?

Thanks,
Bobby
