[Xymon] Can I create a graph as an HTML image?

[John Horne]

Hello,

Using Xymon 4.3.7, does anyone know if it is possible to create a graph
as an HTML image? That is, so that I can use '<IMG SRC...>' in a web
page.

I have had a look at 'showgraph.sh', but that seems to create a link to
a page which then contains just the graph. I want the graph/image, not a
link to it. Even using the '--save' option

Our old Big Brother/MRTG system created PNG images of various things
(which admittedly was a big drain on the system), and we could then
create web pages which simply loaded whatever graphs/images we wanted.
I'm now trying to do something similar but using Xymon/RRD.

Anyone any ideas about this?

(Current thoughts are perhaps to use PHP with rrdgraph to create the
image. However, I then have to fiddle with the format of the image
unless I can parse the graphs.cfg file.)



John.
