RE: [hobbit] Xymon hosts database.

["David Peters" <davidp (at) electronf.com>]

Well I have the database schema created in mysql now. I should be close to
getting enough together to upload to the sourceforge server very soon now.
Then anyone who wants to help can join in. Have been sick for the last
coupla days (couch cough....)

Subject: [hobbit] Xymon hosts database.

 


I think I have posted this quite a while ago but it is still on my mind. We
currently configure the hosts, pages etc using a windows database and
windows front end that I wrote quite some time ago. I keep getting the urge
to convert it to a linux database and a web frontend. However I would not do
this if there is no interest in using it. 

The point is that you never touch the bb-hosts file and all configuration of
hosts and layouts is done via a user interface. 

Is there any interest in this? 
Is there anyone willing to help? 
If so I was going to convert to mysql and either php or perl cgi. Any
comments on this? 

We have 400 odd hosts here and have pages split by priority, service,
location, and support group all on the front page but all configured via the
database. 

Currently the bb-hosts is built via a perl script that extracts the database
and then generates a main bb-hosts file plus include files for each
sub-page.
