Don,<br>
using a normal Windows machine I want to view the xymon monitoring pages. If a page contains for example Linux servers, I want to have a PuTTY column. Clicking on that should open PuTTY on my local Windows pc and connect to the selected Linux server on the
xymon page. The same with telnet for Cisco devices and mstsc for Windows machines. That enables me to connect to nearly all monitored machines from one point just by clicking webpages.
<br>
<br>
Hope you got me?<br>
<br>
More details on Monday...<br>

Betreff: [Xymon] Extra column containing an access protocol (putty, telnet, mstsc)<br>

<div>Just to clarify Christian. Are you saying you want to have the column on your main Xymon webpage for "Putty", then if the target (viewed) machine has this column, you click on it and want to open a session to that host to use Putty on the viewed machine
from the Xymon server?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Same steps for Telent, and RDP ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If so, that sounds interesting and I'd love to hear how that is done too.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Or, I believe if you are just trying to verify that a target (viewed) machine is listening for SSH, RDP, or the telnet protocol, you would edit the protocols.cfg file and add the test name with your parameters on the Xymon server and then configure your
hosts.cfg for the target machine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since you mentioned Putty, it sounds like you want to use the Xymon web pages to actually make connections to your viewed machines from the Xymon server?</div>

<p>Hi there,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i have implemented a fresh install of Xymon 4.3.7 for our environment. This includes at this time nearly 300 devices in total.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We had used a commercial tool before, and we are in the need to go away from that commercial tool to Xymon. Knowing some of the features we had in the commercial tool, i'm missing these features in Xymon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For each device i'ld like to have a column that provides me with a "PuTTY", "TELNET" or "MSTSC" feature. For example, if it is a Linux server, i'ld like to have a "PUTTY" icon. For a windows machine, i want a "MSTSC" icon. "TELNET" i want to have for several
CISCO devices.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Currently i have created a ssh-protocol-handler in the local registry of the "viewing" machine. Then i have created HOSTNAME.html files in the server/www/notes directory which enables me to provide links, for example HREF="ssh:HOSTNAME". This enables me
to login to the specified host. In general this is what i want.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But: i think it's more efficient to have an extra column on the overview site which provides me with the specified protocol link. Would that be possible to implement? For example with an extra tag in the hosts.cfg file?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope i have described detailed enough what i want...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Best regards</p>
<p>Christian</p>
