[Xymon] Make red only the default for critical page (Terabithia RPM)

[Neil Simmonds]

Thanks Norbert,

Unfortunately Red.html also includes a lot of green noise that I'd prefer not to have.

I've managed to do it though by changing the href for the Critical Systems page to the below, effectively just adding the highlighted part and that works fine.

$XYMONSERVERCGIURL/criticalview.sh?MAXPRIO=3&MINCOLOR=red&MAXAGE=525600&WANTACKED=no&EVCOUNT=0&Submit=Apply

To be honest, I don't know why it wasn't done that way on the old system.

Neil.

Neil,

you can try to call the builtin page red.html instead of nongreen.html. This is default part of Xymon and maybe already provides what you want without any patch or config change (you can easy add this to the xymonmenu for direct access).

Hi folks,

I'm currently building a new Xymon server to move away from our old 4.3.4 server running on Centos 5.

The new one is running version  Xymon 4.3.30-1.el8.terabithia on RHEL 8

On the previous version, the person who built it made a change to criticalview.c  to change the following

/*static int mincolor = COL_YELLOW;*/
static int mincolor = COL_RED;

This means that the default for the critical view is red only which is what we want.

However, because we have now taken the decision to use the Terabithia RPM's for ease of upgrade in future I can't make the same change as I can't be sure that the criticalview.c that I could download from the normal source is the same as the one in the Terabithia RPM and it also complicates the ease of upgrade bit.

I've found the XYMONGENOPTS in xymonserver.cfg and a suggestion on the web that looked like adding -critical-reds-only to the options would give me what I want but it doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know if there is a way of doing this with minimal change so it's something I can script for future upgrades?

Kind Regards,

Neil.
