Agree.<BR>

Me either, but I will know what I need to know about javascript.<BR>

Thanks for doing this task, I am help on this task since I am hoping to have a perl xymon torture test suite.<BR>

I am not aware of ocs-inventory but we do have existing coporate wide inventory system.<BR>
And I need inventory system that works with Xymon when integreation is needed with other inventory dbs,<BR>
SQL will be the bridge ;)<BR>

<BR>
oh boy, why do I hear ITIL got mentioned here ! <BR>
I guess this is good sign. Looks like big company is using Xymon.<BR>

<BR>
A customer view, generate TT view and insert <BR>
<BR>See Chapter 1 in <A href="http://xymon.dlinkddns.com/books/catalyst-extjs.pdf">http://xymon.dlinkddns.com/books/catalyst-extjs.pdf</A><BR>
<BR>
Also look for "Xymon EXT Desktop", I hope you as excited as me ;)<BR>
