NAME
Xymon web page headers, footers and forms. DESCRIPTION
The Xymon webpages are somewhat customizable, by modifying the header- and footer-templates found in the ~xymon/server/web/ directory. There are usually two or more files for a webpage: A template_header file which is the header for this webpage, and a template_footer file which is the footer. Webpages where entry forms are used have a template_form file which is the data-entry form. With the exception of the bulletin files, the header files are inserted into the HTML code at the very beginning and the footer files are inserted at the bottom. The following templates are available: bulletin A bulletin_header and bulletin_footer is not shipped with Xymon, but if they exist then the content of these files will be inserted in all HTML documents generated by Xymon. The "bulletin_header" contents will appear after the normal header for the webpage, and the "bulletin_footer" will appear just before the normal footer for the webpage. These files can be used to post important informa- tion about the Xymon system, e.g. to notify users of current operational or monitoring problems. acknowledge Header, footer and form template for the Xymon acknowledge alert webpage generated by bb-ack.cgi(1) bb Header and footer for the Xymon Main view webpages, generated by bbgen(1) bb2 Header and footer for the Xymon All non-green view webpage, generated by bbgen(1) bbnk Header and footer for the now deprecated BBNK webpage, generated by bbgen. You should use the newer hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) utility instead, which uses the hobbitnk templates. bbrep Header and footer for the Xymon Main view availability report webpages, generated by bbgen(1) when running in availability report mode. bbsnap Header and footer for the Xymon Main view snapshot webpages, generated by bbgen(1) when running in snapshot report mode. bbsnap2 Header and footer for the Xymon All non-green view snapshot webpage, generated by bbgen(1) when running in snapshot report mode. columndoc Header and footer for the Xymon Column documentation webpages, generated by the bb-csvinfo.cgi(1) utility in the default Xymon con- figuration. confreport Header and footer for the Xymon Configuration report webpage, generated by the hobbit-confreport.cgi(1) utility. Note that there are also "confreport_front" and "confreport_back" templates, these are inserted into the generated report before the hostlist, and before the column documentation, respectively. event Header, footer and form for the Xymon Eventlog report, generated by hobbit-eventlog.cgi(1) findhost Header, footer and form for the Xymon Find host webpage, generated by bb-findhost.cgi(1) graphs Header and footer for the Xymon Graph details webpages, generated by hobbitgraph.cgi(1) hist Header and footer for the Xymon History webpage, generated by bb-hist.cgi(1) histlog Header and footer for the Xymon Historical status-log webpage, generated by hobbitsvc.cgi(1) utility when used to show a historical (non-current) status log. hobbitnk Header and footer for the Xymon Critical Systems view webpage, generated by hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) hostsvc Header and footer for the Xymon Status-log webpage, generated by hobbitsvc.cgi(1) utility when used to show a current status log. info Header and footer for the Xymon Info column webpage, generated by hobbitsvc.cgi(1) utility when used to show the host configuration page. maintact Header and footer for the Xymon webpage, generated by hobbit-enadis.cgi(1) utility when using the Enable/Disable "preview" mode. maint Header, footer and form for the Xymon Enable/disable webpage, generated by hobbit-enadis.cgi(1) nkack Form show on the status-log webpage when viewed from the "Critical Systems" overview.
