bbegn --docurl and Legend Question 🔗 link

Hello All;

I am running xymon 4.2.2 and I am curious about the following:

1.  I would like to hyperlink all of my hosts, perhaps with a few excludes, to something using the following?

~/server/bin/bbgen --docurl=http://systeminfo/ServersForm.aspx?name=%s

The problem is that my pages get totally messed up (broken gifs), then a few seconds later recover.  I know that I must be using bbgen improperly, so I am hoping for a few pointers in the right direction so that my entries for my hosts are shown with hyperlinks to additional info as shown when the link is visited. Is their an entry that I must make in a file under etc?  I've looked and am unable to find any.

2.  My prior version of BB BTF has a legend at the bottom, is their any way to show the legend at the bottom of xymon?  A few of my users are asking for this as they are clueless to what the icons all mean.

Thank you!

I'm not sure why you didn't add the --docurl option to the BBGENOPTS=
configuration in etc/hobbitserver.cfg.  Maybe that might help...

Xymon doesn't do that by default, but with a minor hack to the
web/bb_footer file, you can emulate it.  I have something like the
following, that replaces the big <TABLE> chunk in bb_footer:

<TABLE SUMMARY="Bottomline" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
  <TD COLSPAN="7"> <HR WIDTH="100%"> </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD ALIGN="center" WIDTH="13%">

        ALIGN="middle" ALT="blue"></A>offline</FONT></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
  <TD COLSPAN="7"> <HR WIDTH="100%"> </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
  <TD COLSPAN="7" ALIGN=RIGHT><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica" SIZE="-2"
COLOR="silver"><B><A HREF="http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/";
style="text-decoration: none">Xymon &HOBBITDREL</A></B></FONT></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

Thank you Alan, the entry, which I overlooked, works like a charm.  How
can I make that popup another window as opposed to a total redirection?

This makes sense, I will give a shot.

Thanks again,

You could edit the footer pages in server/web/ and add a legend in yourself - just normal HTML. I've added a legend to the top of the page by editing the header files, but you could do the same for the footers. I did it that way because you can't always see the bottom of the page.

Regards,

Malcolm

Got me on that one, short of a code modification I know of no way to do
that.
