[Xymon] html_mail.pl colour

Wed Dec 17 02:02:33 CET 2014

Hi David,

I can confirm I am actually using the latest version that you last changed, version 1.4.

Sorry I must have linked an older version in my original email.

Regards,

Brandon

Brandon,

Did you look at the newer version?
https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/alerts:html_mail1.2

David.
Just gave that a try changed the paths to use the URL and also tried the full local path on the server without using those BB/xymon variables in the perl script still getting the same problem. I must be missing something really obvious somewhere.

Regards,

Brandon

You probably need to tweak the perl code to use the full url for your Xymon server...something like

<body background="http://example.com/xymon/gifs/bkg-red.gif">

Of course, the script says it's embedding it in the message so I'm likely off base here.

Subject: [Xymon] html_mail.pl colour

I am trying to setup HTML email alerts, I found this script on xymonton which appears to be exactly what I need https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/alerts:html_mail I followed the instructions and added it to my alerts.cfg.

It successfully sends HTML emails, however it doesn’t seem to contain a colour to match the alert which I think it should? I assumed I would get a line down the left side similar to what you see on the xymon webpages.

This is what I get emailed:
[cid:image001.png at 01D019F1.56A26380]

If I look at the HTML source for the email I think based on this I can assume the scripts logic is successfully matching the alert colour to the correct .gif it needs:

<body background="cid:bkg-red.gif">

I checked on the xymon server and these files appear to exist where they need to:

usr/lib/xymon/server/www/gifs# ls
arrow.gif       bkg-red.gif      clear.gif          favicon-purple.ico   green-recent.gif   red-ack.gif         xymonbody.css
bkg-blue.gif    bkg-yellow.gif   clear-recent.gif   favicon-red.ico      purple-ack.gif     red.gif             yellow-ack.gif
bkg-clear.gif   blue-ack.gif     favicon-blue.ico   favicon-unknown.ico  purple.gif         red-recent.gif      yellow.gif
bkg-green.gif   blue.gif         favicon-clear.ico  favicon-yellow.ico   purple-recent.gif  unknown.gif         yellow-recent.gif
bkg-purple.gif  blue-recent.gif  favicon-green.ico  green.gif            README             unknown-recent.gif  zoom.gif

Am I doing something obivously wrong? And how do I go about troubleshooting this

Note:

-          This example is from a custom test, but I don’t think that could be the cause of the problem as the script is determing the colour of the alert as expected.

-          Xymon 4.3.17 running on Debian 6
