<div dir="ltr">Dan<div><br></div><div>What I do is to leave the hostname alone, but create a "notes" file for each hostname I want to access. These files go in XYMONNOTESDIR (defined in xymonserver.cfg), as standard HTML files. For each of my servers I've an ssh:// link to the server and http:// to the iLO, plus a few direct links to useful things within Xymon.</div><div><br></div><div>To access notes, just click on the hostname. If the notes file exists, it will be hotlinked.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Creating the notes files could be automated, but I don't have enough hosts to make it worthwhile, so I've just done it manually. You can also specify a HOSTDOCURL in xymonserver.cfg that includes a script to run, and have the notes pages dynamically created based on the hostnames.</div><div><br></div><div>I've done a hybrid solution. I have a generic host type notes file for a group of hosts, and I create symbolic links to each hostname that points to the generic file. Within the notes file, I use some javascript-fu to dynamically generate the details on-the-fly.</div><div><br></div><div>For anyone interested in giving it a try, I'll append the HTML file

<br>
I’m using the below to turn my hostnames into hyperlinks to login to each server (which works great):<br>
<br>
10.10.10.10 Hostname # NAME:"<a href=ssh://<a href="mailto:root@10.10.10.10">root@10.10.10.10</a>>Displayed Hostname</a>"<br>
<br>
Problem is, it now uses this ugly html string as the hostname in the title of my graphs. So it displays "<a href=ssh://root… > Disk Utilization”, etc. as the title… which is obviously not pretty. Any thoughts on how to fix this?<br>
<br>
By the way, it also changes the displayed hostname in several other places which I managed to fix by changing the variable &XYMWEBHOST to &XMH_HOSTNAME in several of the $xymon/server/web/*_header files…<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
