[Xymon] 4.3.3 nongreen host.cfg DESCR tag issue

[Lee, Raymond]

Same results here, Henrik.  It looks like xgetenv isn't picking up the new USEDESCRASCOMMENT env variable from xymonserver.cfg.

Thanks,
Ray

Henrik,

Thanks for the quick repsonse.  I applied the patch, verified the patch code was applied, remade  and reinstalled.  It doesn't appear to be working.  The DESCR tag is still being picked up.
I verified USEDESCRASCOMMENT="N" in xymonserver.cfg.

In htmllog.c I changed the static int usedescrascomment = 1; to 0 and make; make install.  The DECR tag does not show up as expected.
I wonder if the xgetenv isn't working as expected.

Scott

Could you try out this patch ? It should apply to all 4.3.x versions.
Apply with

 cd xymon-4.3.3
 patch -p0 < /tmp/commentdisplay.diff

then run "make; make install"

After installing the new binaries, you can turn off the unwanted behaviour
by adding

 USEDESCRASCOMMENT="N"

in xymonserver.cfg .


Please let me know if this works OK.


Regards,
Henrik
