<div>Hi folks. I have been modifying our xymon server host cfg file setups. I have been moving page layouts around. I thought I would send a note to the list to see what others are doing in their web page layouts just to have a sanity check
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do you set up your main page to list things by OS, then by environment like this:</div>
<div>Unix - then Prod, Dev, Test, Uat, etc.</div>
<div>Windows then Prod, Dev, Test, Uat, etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do you also use Application groups and then arrange them by OS and environment ?</div>
<div>App1, Unix, Prod</div>
<div>App1, Unix, Dev</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Or </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>App1, Prod</div>
<div>App1, Dev</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's what I've been doing and I'm having second thoughts about the logic of doing it this way:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Main xymon page lists the following Pages </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Server lists by hostname<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">
</span>Applications<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Infrastructure<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">
</span>Other Systems</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Under Server lists by hostname I have now made up UNIX-MAC and WINDOWS</div>
<div>Under each of these I have PROD and DEV</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Under the Applications I have several business Applications - </div>
<div>App1</div>
<div>App2</div>
<div>App3</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In each of the App1, App2, App3, I have Prod and Dev subpages</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm creating include files for each category like HostsApp1Prod.cfg, HostsApp1Dev.cfg, HostsApp2Prod.cfg, HostsApp2Dev.cfg, etc.</div>
<div>Now that I've changed it, I will probably need to create new HostsApp1ProdUnixMac.cfg, HostsApp1ProdWindows.cfg</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to be able to setup base rules for monitoring the Prod & Dev systems Prod disk, mem, cpu is different than Dev disk, mem, cpu, etc. That's why I thought breaking out by OS and then environment would make sense.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then I want to create very specific service, process, or other monitoring for the application servers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does this seem like a good way to go, or am I making it too complicated by breaking everything down this way?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
