NAME

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts

SYNOPSIS

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the hobbit-ackinfo.sh CGI wrapper.

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi  is  used  to  acknowledge an alert on the Xymon "Critical Systems" view, generated by the hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) utility.
       This allows the staff viewing the Critical Systems view to acknowledge alerts with a "Level 1" alert, thereby removing the alert  from  the
       Critical Systems view.

       Note that the Level 1 alert generated by the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi utility does NOT stop alerts from being sent.

       In a future version of Xymon (after Xymon 4.2), this utility will also be used for acknowledging alerts at other levels.

OPTIONS

       --level=NUMBER
	      Sets  the  acknowledgment  level. This is typically used to force a specific level of the acknowledgment, e.g. a level 1 acknowledge
	      when called from the Critical Systems view.

       --validity=TIME
	      Sets the validity of the acknowledgment. By default this is taken from the CGI parameters supplied by the user.

       --sender=STRING
	      Logs STRING as the sender of the acknowledgment. By default, this is taken from the loginname of the webuser sending the acknowledg-
	      ment.

       --env=FILENAME
	      Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.

       --area=NAME
	      Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.

       --debug
	      Enables debugging output.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.

       QUERY_STRING
	      Contains the parameters for the CGI script.

NAME

       bb-snapshot.cgi - CGI program to rebuild the Xymon webpages for a specific point in time.

SYNOPSIS

       bb-snapshot.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       bb-snapshot.cgi	is  invoked as a CGI script via the bb-snapshot.sh CGI wrapper.  It rebuilds the Xymon web pages to the look they had at a
       particular point in time, based upon the historical information logged about events.

       bb-snapshot.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the following parameters:

	  mon (Start month of the snapshot)
	  day (Start day-of-month of the snapshot)
	  yr  (Start year of the snapshot)
	  hour (Start hour of the snapshot)
	  min  (Start minute of the snapshot)
	  sec  (Start second of the snapshot)

       The "month" parameters must be specified as the three-letter english month name abbreviation: Jan, Feb, Mar ...

       "day" must be in the range 1..31; "yr" must be specified including century (e.g. "2003"). "hour" must be specified using a 24-hour clock.

       All of the processing involved in generating the report is done by invoking bbgen(1) with the proper "--snapshot" option.

OPTIONS

       --env=FILENAME
	      Load environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.

       bbgen-options
	      All options except "--env" are passed on to the bbgen(1) program building the snapshot files.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBGENSNAPOPTS
	      bbgen options passed by default to the bb-snapshot.cgi script.  This happens in the bb-snapshot.sh CGI wrapper script.

       BBHOME Home directory of the Xymon server files

       BBSNAP Directory where generated snapshots are stored. This directory must be writable by the userid executing the  CGI	script,  typically
	      "www", "apache" or "nobody". Default: $BBHOME/www/snap/

       BBSNAPURL
	      The URL prefix to use when accessing the reports via a browser.  Default: $BBWEB/snap
