I still think it would be a good idea to have Xymon and your app talk
together using a simpler, more standard interface than parsing the HTML
output from the webpage. That would also make it much easier to support
different types of pages, like the critical systems page, or just a
single sub-page somewhere inside the Xymon page-tree - they would all
provide data in the same format, so your app would auto-magically work
with any page, allowing the user to pick any page they want to check.
I agree. The parsing is spotty and vulnerable to the slightest changes
across versions. I checked out the xymon code from svn and will look it
over a bit. I wouldn't mind helping to implement some other data
formats, if that's what you want.
