Hopefully the mailing list doesn't strip it off.
It didn't. Looks very cool.

I would like a few of my custom tests to have the same 'info.png' icon
instead of the green/yellow/red icons.
I did not know the Info column could have its icon changed. That's neat. In
my installation (user-66fcdcdca248@xymon.invalid) it's just the standard green.gif.
The tests always come in green, so I'm not concerned with any color
changing or alerting on those particular tests. One of the tests is the
'who' column that BBwin and the XymonPSClient send in. I just want the
'info' icon to display instead of the green one. It sounds simple enough
but I can't figure out how/if the system will allow me to define it.
Yep, makes sense.
I tried adding this to my xymonserver.cfg and restarting, but nothing
happened. I suspect because WHOCOLUMN is not recognized by Xymongen.
WHOCOLUMN="who"
WHOCOLUMNGIF="info.png"
You're correct. All of the "*COLUMN" and "*COLUMNGIF" strings are special,
and you can't make up your own (without changing the source code).
The simplest thing might be to tweak the display in the browser with a bit
of Javascript, perhaps inserted into a template or footer file. Something
like:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>;
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("img").each(
function(){
var self=jQuery(this);
if ((self).attr("title").match(/^who:[a-z]+:/)) {
var
newsrc=(self).attr("src").replace("green.gif","info.gif");
(self).attr("src",newsrc);
};
}
);
</script>
This looks for any "<img>" tag with the "title" attribute (pop-up text)
"who:bla:bla" and substitutes green.gif with info.gif.
To insert a bit of HTML or JavaScript into every page, add the text into a
file called xymonbodyfooter.html in the same directory where
xymonserver.cfg, and then set
XYMONBODYFOOTER="file:$XYMONHOME/etc/xymonbodyfooter.html" into
xymonserver.cfg. The location and name of the xymonbodyfooter.html is
arbitrary.
