[hobbit] Editing thresholds from a web page.

Fri Jul 10 01:50:20 CEST 2009

Steve can you please check the permissions on 
~hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg?

I suspect that is the cause of you being unable to save the 
modificattions.

Re: [hobbit] Editing thresholds from a web page.

Nope. Sorry. I got 0.2 and here are the changes I made to 
selection_page.pl. The additions of the two 'next' statements are just 
speedups (I think :-), but the critical change is the way you are testing 
to see if a line is a real host line or not. All of my hosts have an IP of 
0.0.0.0, and it looks like you are wanting the second character of the 
line to be a digit, but since the second character of my line is a dot 
('.') it never matches. This works for me wrt getting the hosts loaded, 
but it still doesn't change the config file. 

Thanks,
Steve

Version 0.2 is now available for download. It fixes an issue relating to 
hosts not loading. Hopefully that was the one you saw Steve.

It also fixes a couple of other minor things including removing a 
hardcoded directory in one of the html header files.

Hi David,

Ok, so I downloaded the scripts from sourceforge. I couldn't find them on 
xymonton. What I have might not be your latest. So, the fixes I had to 
make might be unneeded on a later version, but:

The first thing was that the first edit-thresholds page had no hosts 
loaded. I fixed that. The next problem is that it isn't actually making 
the changes I've entered. An error from the web server (which might not 
have anything to do with this behavior) is:

File does not exist: /opt/www2/htdocs/menu, referer: 
https://my-server/hobbit-seccgi/edit-thresholds/trunk/edit-threshold.pl

It's true that my apache home 
dir is /opt/www2 and the htdocs dir is htdocs, but where is it getting the path to menu there, which doesn't exist. I've searched through everything I can think of. I've obviously overlooked something. 

If I fix this error and it still doesn't make the changes I'll look 
further. 

Any ideas? I'm excited to get this working. It should save me a 
significant amount of time if my co-admins could make these changes 
without asking me to edit the files!

Thanks,
Steve

Yes I think that might be a good idea. Just beware of the two bugs that
currently exist.

Hi, David !

thanks, for the scripts !

I recognize, that the scripts didn't make a backup of hobbit-clients.cfg 
...

Maybe, we could added a backupfunction with timestamp  ?

thanks & cheeers
