HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5)						File Formats Manual					      HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5)

NAME

       hobbit-nkview.cfg - Configuration of the hobbitgraph CGI

SYNOPSIS

       $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-nkview.cgi(1)  uses  the	configuration  file $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg to determine which of the statuses currently in a red or
       yellow state should appear on the Critical Systems view.

       This file should not be edited manually. It is maintained by the hobbit-nkeedit.cgi(1) utility via a web-based frontend.

FILE PERMISSIONS

       Since the file is maintained by a web front-end tool, the userid running Web CGI scripts must have write-permission  to	the  file.   Typi-
       cally, this means it must have a group-ownership matching your webserver userid, and group-write permissions (mode 664).

       When  editing  the  file  with the web front-end, a backup file is created.  Therefore the hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak file should have identical
       permissions.
