[Xymon] Feature request

[Shannon Anderson]

I could package it up as a tarball, I had to hack up some of the Web and LIB C code in the source used to generate the CGIs in the bin dir to affect my look and feel. This makes it hard to version against and new updates that may come out.

But if you want to keep your current look then the actual code that manages the Hosts, Analysis and Alerts will work on any version of XYMon and would not be affected by updates.

So I guess I need to create a side project to package up the "XYmon admin" outside of the new look and feel that I have created.

There is several new pieces I am included in the Appliance version that adds extra value to XYmon,

First being extra access security where you can use Web admin to add and remove users who have access to views, configs, reports and alarms.

#2 it comes with "247OnCall" my own make of a call rotation manager and PBX integration for alarms that will now call you and run you through a IVR for responses for alarms. This is also integrated in to the Alarms config area of the web manager.

I understand not all users of XYmon would have a compatible PBX to use so we are going to build Asterisk into the appliance with a simple web GUI to allow you to setup a VOIP account on it and then the 247OnCall processes will be able to use the internal PBX to make calls through thus making a nice closed system for your monitoring needs.

My hats off to Henrik for making such a flexible and useful application!!

Looks good. Any chance of getting it released as a tar file or rpm? I'm afraid our security organization wouldn't like an "off" brand of Linux in our data center. I would much rather be able to install it on a system that already meets our security standards.

Thanks,

I actually spoke to a coworker yesterday about this very subject.  She teaches an online web design class and is always looking for student projects.  This semester is winding down but she said she is going to keep this in mind as an option for students next semester (January) that are looking for a project and would like to be able to point to a real-world example in their portfolio.  No one would be under any obligation to adopt it.  I thought it might help fill a need in Xymon that has been requested many times and give us the possibility to have a "themes" page added to the Xymonton site.

short answer is "no".

The longer answer is that although several people over the years have
discussed building a more modern web interface, noone has yet begun
designing or implementing such a UI.

And since I have very little experience with web design and HTML coding, I
haven't attempted to do it myself.


Regards,
Henrik
