[Xymon] MAGMA XYMon Web GUI Admin Now Available!

[Shannon Anderson]

Henrik and Fellow Xymoners,

Just for you I have pushed off any real work for today just to get you all a first release of MAGMA the XYMon Web GUI Admin. 

MAGMA is an add-on web GUI for managing Host, Groups and Alarms on a XYmon 4.3 or newer system.

You can find MAGMA at http://www.squidworks.net/magma/ 

There you will find the description, screen shots and features of MAGMA along with the link to download the source package.

It requires MySQL and PHP5 and is very simple to install. All supporting information is included in the tarball. 


How does it work?
---------------------------
It stores all alarm and host/group configs in the SQL database and rewrites the Host.cfg, Analysis.cfg and Alarms.cfg files causing the XYmon system to update its tests and pages based on the changes in these files. It will overwrite the files each time a host is added or edited making the process of updating automatic. To get the full benefit of MAGMA you should place all hosts in "central" mode,  although this is not required, without it your management is somewhat restrictive (external test management only). In Central mode you get full management features for all tests.

If you have any questions or need some help just send me a email @ sanderson @ squidworks.net
