Galen, sceenshots of how it looks when the add-on installation is complete
and working.

Thanks John.  Those are good ideas.  I might look into doing the same or
similar.

Kind regards,

SebA

I started down this path a few years ago. After traveling a bit, I
realized I was creating a wiki inside Xymon. At that point, I stopped :P

We now use a special segment of our existing wiki to hold notes for Xymon
hosts. The pages in that segment may reference each other, and have
included and embedded content. We then export the wiki content (as one
would if creating a static, or cached version), and import it into a
directory on our Xymon server. The export/import happens as a regular xymon
task.

We use HTML in our "DESCR" tag in the hosts.cfg to link each host to the
appropriate local page of notes from the wiki. By use a .default. tags
associated with display groups, we can re-use pages of notes for several
hosts.

We leverage the authentication, editing, and history function of our wiki.
While publishing static content from our xymon server means we aren't
depending on the wiki at 2am.
