You can also write script which uses the bb command with the query
option (see the bb man page. It will return the current color for a
host:test and based on that result your script can respond to the
situation which needs to be addressed.

Subject: Re: [hobbit] apt handling in Hobbit for Debian/Ubuntu Linux
I have not, but I believe you can call a script based on a condition
with xymon. Check the hobbit-alerts file for more info. Big Brother
was a monitor and notify system only, but I think Henrik wrote the
functionality where you can call a script that will do an apt-get
update/upgrade/dist-upgrade on your server. In terms of having anything
tied to the web gui, I can't say. HTH

I have Xymon/hobbit monitoring a Debian box, which has a nice
SERVICE=apt monitor on it. I often see that an update is needed -
typically it comes 5 minutes AFTER I leave my server :) Thus I often
have my server showing yellow service flag for the apt-service until I
get home in the evening. I can obviously acknowledge this warning from
the Xymon web-interface, but has anyone of you been extending Xymon
for
handling apt-updating via the webinterface?
(During daytime I do not have ssh access to the server - and I know
that
I could install webmin to solve this)
