Multiple critical view with criticalview.sh ?

Ok i think i just found the way myself by grepping everything everywhere ...

in criticalview.sh, it is possible to override the critical conf  file with "--config":


[root at xymon cgi-bin]# grep -n --  --config /opt/repo/src/xymon-4.3.7/web/criticalview.c
481:    else if (argnmatch(argv[argi], "--config=")) {


So, by modifying criticalview_NEW.sh
 exec /opt/xymon//server/bin/criticalview.cgi $CGI_CRITVIEW_OPTS --config=/opt/xymon/server/etc/critical_top30.cfg

now, the /cgi-bin/criticalview_NEW.sh shows the devices of critical_top30.cfg ONLY :)

thanks and sorry for the noise.

Cheers

Hi 
I d like to understand how the /xymon-cgi/criticalview.sh|criticalview.cgi  works.


In fact; this view is really useful; and i would like to create new critical view like this one with different hosts. (one critical view for top10 customers for instance; another one for Spain hosts only etc).

I tried to duplicate criticalview.sh to criticalview_NEW.sh and to modify the ENV variable:

. /opt/xymon//server/etc/cgioptions_NEW.cfg

and in this file to change XYMONENV=/opt/xymon//server/etc/xymonserver_NEW.cfg instead of /xymonserver.cfg
then in this file i modified HOSTSCFG="$XYMONHOME/etc/hosts.d/top10customers.cfg" instead of  HOSTSCFG="$XYMONHOME/etc/hosts.cfg.
but it doesn t change anything; criticalview_NEW.sh is still showing everything :/

I also though about having multiple critical.cfg  but i don t know how to tell xymon to look at another critical.cfg file :(

in /web/criticalview.c, there is a reference to this file:

 if (!critconfig[0]) {
              critconfig = (char **)realloc(critconfig, 2*sizeof(char *));
              critconfig[0] = (char *)malloc(strlen(xgetenv("XYMONHOME")) + strlen(DEFAULT_CRITCONFIGFN) + 2);
              sprintf(critconfig[0], "%s/%s", xgetenv("XYMONHOME"), DEFAULT_CRITCONFIGFN);
              critconfig[1] = NULL;
      }

and DEFAULT_CRITCONFIGFN is defined in /opt/repo/src/xymon-4.3.7/lib/loadcriticalconf.h

#define DEFAULT_CRITCONFIGFN "etc/critical.cfg"

but don t see anywhere how to override this variable ?

tried also to create a new view with xymongen but it generates only a basic critical.html and nongreen.html file... nothing related to the CGI at the end :(

any clue will be appreciated.

thanks
