I'd be interested and would be willing to help where I can.   I do some basic perl/php development with MySQL backends for my personal web sites.  I'm by no means a guru, but I would DEFINITELY be willing to help implement something like this.

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.
