Thanks for the sharing. I will document your effort of using wiki page as database backend for bb-host in my person notes on this subject. See R2.<BR>

I once try to integrate xymon with trac. See R1.<BR>
<BR>
Did you integrate Trac's ticket system with Xymon Server ?<BR>

Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:30:49 -0400<BR>From: jbl@jbldata.com<BR>To: hobbit@hswn.dk<BR>Subject: Re: [hobbit] Providing a description of listed systems?<BR><BR>No problem, I will post it shortly. It's very small (one or two lines). I just have some IT hurdles to jump.<BR><BR>Essentially here's how it works:<BR><BR>Lets say you set your --docurl to something like this:<BR><BR>--docurl=<A>http://mysite.com/xymon-cgi/docurl.cgi?%s</A><BR><BR><BR>Now, all 'docurl.cgi' will need to contain in order to do a proper redirection is the following:<BR><BR>----<BR>#!/usr/bin/perl -w<BR>use strict;<BR><BR>print "Location: <A>http://someothersite.com/page.html#</A>". $ARGV[0] . "\n\n";<BR>exit;<BR>----<BR><BR>And thats it. $ARGV[0] is really just an array element (@ARGV being the array) which automatically includes any arguments passed to the script. In our case, the argument is "%s" from --docurl, which 'docurl.cgi' receives as "<A>hostname.domain.com</A>".<BR><BR>The 'print' statement just prints an HTTP header which forces the browser to re-direct to a new location, specifically, the URL "<A>http://someothersite.com/page.html#hostname.domain.com</A>". You just have to make sure that your 'page.html' contains an HTML anchor ("<a name...") such as this:<BR><BR>....<BR><a name="<A>hostname.domain.com</A>"><BR>This is the start of the '<A>hostname.domain.com</A>' section.<BR>....<BR><BR>It's pretty straight forward, and you don't really even need to use perl CGI modules or anything because the script is so small and only serves one purpose.<BR><BR>Try it out, and let me know if it works for you. I'll post the actual script here shortly, but if I typed out the above correctly, then it would contain exactly the same thing that my script contains.<BR><BR>Enjoy!<BR><BR><BR><BR>
