NAME

       bb-ack.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts

SYNOPSIS

       bb-ack.cgi?ACTION=action&NUMBER=acknum&DELAY=validity&MESSAGE=text

DESCRIPTION

       bb-ack.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-ack.sh CGI wrapper.

       bb-ack.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the ACTION, NUMBER, DELAY and MESSAGE parameters.

PARAMETERS

       ACTION is the action to perform. The only supported action is "Ack" to acknowledge an alert.

       NUMBER is the number identifying the host/service to be acknowledged.  It is included in all alert-messages sent out by Xymon.

       DELAY is the time (in minutes) that the acknowledge is valid.

       MESSAGE	is  an	optional text which will be shown on the status page while the acknowledgment is active. You can use it to e.g. tell users
       not to contact you about the problem, or inform them when the problem is expected to be resolved.

OPTIONS

       --no-pin
	      bb-ack.cgi normally requires the user to enter the acknowledgment code received in an alert message. If you run it with this option,
	      the user will instead get a list of the current non-green statuses, and he may send an acknowledge without knowing the code.

       --no-cookies
	      Normally,  bb-ack.cgi uses a cookie sent by the browser to initially filter the list of hosts presented. If this is not desired, you
	      can turn off this behaviour by calling bb-ack.cgi with the --no-cookies option. This would normally be placed  in  the  CGI_ACK_OPTS
	      setting in hobbitcgi.cfg(5)

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

       --debug
	      Enables debugging output.

FILES

       $BBHOME/web/acknowledge_header
	      HTML header file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/acknowledge_footer
	      HTML footer file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/acknowledge_form
	      Query form displayed when bb-ack.cgi is called with no parameters.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

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

       QUERY_STRING
	      Contains the parameters for the CGI script.

BUGS

       When  using  alternate pagesets, hosts will only show up on the acknowledgment page if this is accessed from the primary page in which they
       are defined. So if you have hosts on multiple pages, they will only be visible for acknowledging from their main page which is not what you
       would expect.
