[hobbit] Xymon hosts database.

[david.peters at dpi.nsw.gov.au]

I'd be happy to send the windows implementation, however it is very 
specific to our setup. Well the conversion script to bb-hosts is anyway. 
But the windows part is pretty stand alone.

I am not really looking to distribute a standalone access application. 
Rather I really want to convert the screens and logic to something a bit 
more open.

This does sound cool. If you can, I?d love to see the current Windows 
implementation too.
 
Thanks.

I think I have posted this quite a while ago but it is still on my mind. 
We currently configure the hosts, pages etc using a windows database and 
windows front end that I wrote quite some time ago. I keep getting the 
urge to convert it to a linux database and a web frontend. However I would 
not do this if there is no interest in using it. 

The point is that you never touch the bb-hosts file and all configuration 
of hosts and layouts is done via a user interface. 

Is there any interest in this? 
Is there anyone willing to help? 
If so I was going to convert to mysql and either php or perl cgi. Any 
comments on this? 

We have 400 odd hosts here and have pages split by priority, service, 
location, and support group all on the front page but all configured via 
the database. 

Currently the bb-hosts is built via a perl script that extracts the 
database and then generates a main bb-hosts file plus include files for 
each sub-page.
