[Xymon] Host Name Links

[Tim McCloskey]

Some years back I used the notes directory method.  Created an 'index.php' file and symlinked $hostname.php to that file.  From there I hooked into a simple mysql database to get details for the host.
It was a cheesy hack, but serves it's purpose.

Alternatively you an use `HOSTDOCURL` or the `—docurl`-option of `xymongen` (depending on your version of xymon) to point to an external web server.

I’ve posted an article with some background here:

Hi all
Some time back, there was a feature, hwereby the host name could become a link, perhaps to an as-built, or a CMDB entry for the host. I used it once before at another customer.
I can't recall how to do this, and I can't seem to find the notes on how.
Can anybody refresh my memory?

Hi !

You need only create an html-file with the node-name

e.g.

/usr/lib/xymon/server/www/notes/node1.html

cheers,
