I'm using Trac [http://trac.edgewall.org/] as my main wiki/ticketing system,
so I just place all of the host information into one page. Trac
automatically creates HTML anchors (#) for each section (e.g., each host) as
long as you format it correctly with wiki syntax.
I just name each section the same name that I have the hosts identified with
in Xymon, and it works pretty smoothly. I even keep the hosts described in
the wiki arranged in the same order that I have them in Xymon, so it's easy
to compare the hosts in Xymon and Trac, to make sure they're in sync.

I like that. I had been looking for a good way to save my notes fields to
a database and have the pages “constructed” instead of having static files
for each host. The –docurl option looks like it will get me there. Now I
just have to build it. J

Thanks for the help!
I ended up using BBGEN's --docurl option, it seems cleaner, and it's
built-in.
--docurl only accepts URLs which are static HTML, or CGI scripts. It does
not, for example, accept a link which includes a hash '#' character. I even
tried to escape it with a backslash, but it didn't work. So I had to get
creative.
I wrote a very small perl script and popped it into my cgi-bin directory.
The script simply takes the %s argument which can be passed via --docurl,
and redirects to the correct site using HTML anchors '#'.
E.g.:
--docurl=xymon-cgi/docurl.cgi?%s
%s would be something like "host.domain.com'"
docurl.cgi redirects to:
http://somesite.domain.com/pages/page.html#host.domain.com
Which jumps to the correct section in the document with the host details.
Thanks again again all!
Bobby

There is a notes directory. You can either create a file within the notes
directory with the same name as the host or you can create a folder and
place an index.html file, etc. If the file or directory exists, the hostname
will be hyperlinked to these files.

Hi Rich,
Is this the one you're talking about?
http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/addons:hobbitnotes
It looks like it is an addon to edit existing notes files from a web
interface. But I didn't know Xymon had existing notes files.. I would be
just as happy to edit them on the command line. Am I understanding this
correctly?

I noticed that when I mouse over the names of the systems listed in Xymon,
a nice little pop-up shows the IP address of the system.
This info is great and saves me a lot of time. However, I would like to
somehow add a more detailed description of the system, and have it appear in
Xymon, either by mouse-over like with the IP address, or by clicking on the
name of the system (a link).
Is there any way to do this, or is there any other mechanism for providing
a more detailed description of any given system within the monitored list?
Thanks,
Bobby
