HOBBIT-MAILACK(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 HOBBIT-MAILACK(8)

NAME

       hobbit-mailack - permit acknowledging alerts via e-mail

SYNOPSIS

       hobbit-mailack --env=FILENAME [--debug]

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-mailack  normally  runs  as an input mail-filter for the hobbit user, e.g. by being called from the xymon users' procmailrc(5) file.
       hobbit-mailack recognizes e-mails that are replies to hobbitd_alert(8) mail alerts, and converts the reply mail into an acknowledge message
       that is sent to the Xymon system. This permits an administrator to acknowledge an alert via e-mail.

ADDING INFORMATION TO THE REPLY MAIL

       By  default, an acknowledgment is valid for 1 hour. If you know in advance that solving the problem is going to take longer, you can change
       this by adding delay=DURATION to the subject of your mail reply or on a line in the reply message. Duration is in minutes, unless you add a
       trailing 'h' (for 'hours'), 'd' (for 'days') or 'w' (for 'weeks').

       You  can  also  include a message that will show up on the status-page together with the acknowledgment, e.g. to provide an explanation for
       the issue or some other information to the users. You can either put it at the end of the subject line as msg=Some random text, or you  can
       just  enter  it	in  the  e-mail  as the first non-blank line of text in the mail (a "delay=N" line is ignored when looking for the message
       text).

USE WITH PROCMAIL

       To setup hobbit-mailack, create a .procmailrc file in the xymon-users home-directory with the following contents:

	      DEFAULT=$HOME/Mailbox
	      LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
	      :0
	      | $HOME/server/bin/hobbit-mailack --env=$HOME/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

USE WITH QMAIL

       If you are using Qmail to deliver mail locally, you can run hobbit-mailack directly from a .qmail file. Setup the xymon-users  .qmail  file
       like this:

	      | $HOME/server/bin/hobbit-mailack --env=$HOME/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

OPTIONS

       --env=FILENAME
	      Load environment from FILENAME, usually hobbitserver.cfg.

       --debug
	      Dont send a message to hobbitd, but dump the message to stdout.

NAME

       hobbit-hostgraphs.cgi - CGI program to show multiple graphs

SYNOPSIS

       hobbit-hostgraph.cgi

DESCRIPTION

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

       If no parameters are provided when invoked, it will present a form where the user can select a time period, one or more hosts, and a set of
       graphs.

       The parameters selected by the user are passed to a second invocation of hobbit-hostgraph.cgi, and result in a webpage showing  a  list	of
       graph images based on the trend data stored about the hosts.

       If multiple graph-types are selected, hobbit-hostgraph.cgi will display a list of graphs, with one graph per type.

       If  multiple  hosts  are  selected,  hobbit-hostgraph.cgi will attempt to display a multi-host graph for each type where the graphs for all
       hosts are overlayed in a single image, allowing for easy comparison of the hosts.

       The hostlist uses the PAGEPATH cookie provided by Xymon webpages to select the list of hosts to present. Only the hosts visible on the page
       where hobbit-hostgraph.cgi is invoked from will be visible.

       The resulting graph page can be bookmarked, but the bookmark also fixates the time period shown.

OPTIONS

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

BUGS

       This utility is experimental. It may change in a future release of Xymon.

       It is possible for the user to select graphs which do not exist. This results in broken image links.

       The set of graph-types is fixed in the server/web/hostgraphs_form template and does not adjust to which graphs are available.

       If the tool is invoked directly, all hosts defined in Xymon will be listed.
