I cannot get the swipe to work on my Sony-Ericsson Xperia Mini, though.
It just doesn't do anything.
That is unfortunate.  I will maybe enable a long-press option on items
as well.
One thing I'd really like to see was if it could use the "critical
systems" instead of the "all non-green" page for data.
Critical systems is already planned.  Started with non-green simply
because I don't monitor enough systems to use the critical systems page.

 I understand that
parsing data off the webpage is problematic, and I am sure we can find
better ways of feeding this data to an application. And perhaps that
would be the easiest way to make your app work with different datasets -
agreeing on a standard (probably XML) way of exporting the data, and
then having the Xymon server generate this with the data that would
either go on the non-green page, or the critical systems page, or
perhaps just data on any given page in the web UI (I have some folks who
would love to check just their little corner of Xymon via a Smartphone
app).
An API of some sort would be great.  Even just alternates for each page
like nongreen.json and nongreen.xml.
Of course, being able to acknowledge an alert and/or disable it directly
from my smartphone would also be fabulous ...
I was saving swipe left for that feature (which arguably won't help you,
if swiping isn't working).  Another long-press option, with configurable
default ack times and messages, or a prompt each time.
(wow, it feels nice to be the one asking for features - I am usually on
the receiving end of feature-requests :-))
I appreciate the feedback.  If you have any more suggestions (or if
anyone does), I'd love to hear them.  Feel free to email me off-list
with criticism, feedback, suggestions, dinner recipes, feature requests,
etc.

Cheers,
Darrik

Hello, all.

I wrote an android app to quickly assess status and issues.  It
basically parses the non-green view and generates a scrollable report.
You can swipe each non-green test to open the service page for that test
in a browser.

This software is beta, but I'm reasonably certain it parses the
non-green view for 4.2.3, 4.3.0, and 4.3.4 properly.

Anyway, hope it's useful to someone.
