Is the "cookie" field what is used in the ack form as Number_X, in
order to post acks?
Yes.
Superb. Then acking alerts from the app should be cake.
Also, any chance we can get AckedBy as a separate field?
It's not stored inside Xymon as separate data, but since the format is
usually defined by the Xymon ack-tools, it shouldn't be a problem to
split this out in a separate <AckedBy> property. I'll get that done over
the weekend.
Great.
Could you possibly add a text entry field which is sent along with the
web request as "filter" ? E.g. if I set this field to "page=servers",
then you'll request
"http://www.xymon.com/cgi-bin/appfeed.sh?filter=page=servers";
Will do. Are there other possible keys for filter? (Thinking of a more
intuitive interface than just entering filter text.)
This is because I want to be able to pull data using a different filter
than the default "color=red,yellow,purple" when fetching data from
xymond via the "xymondboard" command. E.g. if I want to see all the
critical hosts, but only for the hosts that are on the "servers"
subpage, I can add a "page=servers" and I'll only get the hosts that are
on that page - and it would be really cool for some of my users to do
that, because we've grouped all hosts managed by a particular group on
different pages.
I already had this request as well, so that's fantastic!
Thanks, Henrik. Quick turnaround. I should have a version of XymonQV
out this weekend to use this interface. Any chance I can get the source
of appfeed.sh and appfeed-critical.sh so I can test somewhere other than
xymon.com? I check svn but didn't see them committed.
Cheers,
Darrik
