How about if you use the built-in "info" button in Xymon? Look at the
HOSTS.CFG manpages, specifically:
DESCR:Hosttype:Description Define some informational text about the host.
The "Hosttype" is a text describing the type of this device - "router",
"switch", "hub", "server" etc. The "Description" is an informational text
that will be shown on the "Info" column page; this can e.g. be used to
store information about the physical location of the device, contact
persons etc. If the text contain whitespace, you must enclose it in
double-quotes, e.g. DESCR:"switch:4th floor Marketing switch"
You may add html code to the DESCR field, and your browser will make it
"clickable".
I think you're wanting something like the following:
(hosts.cfg) 192.168.1.24 servername.co.com # DESCR:"Web
Server:description <a href=ssh:192.168.1.24>ssh</a>"
The above entry inside hosts.cfg would add a link of ssh:192.168.1.24 to
the "info" button associated with that host in Xymon.
I hope this is clear; good luck!
Very clear, and very cool. I've been using this stuff since the Big
Brother days and didn't know about that!
