I solved a problem with the excellent bbnote_edit by Galen Johnson

In 4.3.5 it works fine.
In 4.3.10 the menus doesn't work, I'm guessing it is because the menu javascripts are gone.

A simple change in the bbnote_editor.cgi solved the issue.
I'm not a good perl programmer so I consider this more of a hack...

Included my notes_header for 4.3  (a few typos)
and bbnote_editor.cgi for 4.3

Ok, I still have trouble with the menus when using this script, but first a
few corrections:

I had to remove the string "file:" from the line defining XYMONBODYHEADER
and then remove an extra comma in two lines referencing MENUITEMS.

***************
*** 52,63 ****
  }

  sub print_menuitems {
!
$ENV{'XYMONBODYHEADER'}='file:/usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonmenu.cfg';
!     open (MENUITEMS, "<$ENV{'XYMONBODYHEADER'}") or &print_error("I can't
read from XYMONBODYHEADER");
!     while (<MENUITEMS,>) {
          print;
      }
!     close MENUITEMS,;
  }

  sub print_notesdata {
--- 52,63 ----
  }

  sub print_menuitems {
!     $ENV{'XYMONBODYHEADER'}='/usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonmenu.cfg';
!     open (MENUITEMS, "<$ENV{'XYMONBODYHEADER'}") or &print_error("I can't
read from $ENV{'XYMONBODYHEADER'}");
!     while (<MENUITEMS>) {
          print;
      }
!     close MENUITEMS;
  }

  sub print_notesdata {


But still, the Views menu doesn't work (none of the other menus are right
either). It looks good, but when you select either Main View or All
Non-green View the URL that is built is wrong. E.g.:

https://xymonservername/xymon-seccgi/$XYMONSERVERWWWURL/xymon.html

The "xymon-seccgi" shouldn't be there and the $XYMONSERVERWWWURL should be
replaced with the actual path component from the variable by the same name.

I.e. for my server it should be:

https://xymonservername/xymon/xymon.html

I've verified that the environment hash is built ok, but have not figured
out what I need to do to get the value into the URL for the menu to use.

Has anyone else worked on this?

Thanks,
Steve

I discovered that last week, it worked somehow but was dependent on old notes.html already created. New ones didn't work.
As I'm not a good perl programmer I hacked a bit more and this one seems to work better, surely more bugs to show up!
( I just sort of just steal code and modify, no clue on how it really works...)

I didn't realize that the cgi actually built the edit notes pages on the fly so I changed the menu sub to edit it.
You have to edit the notes editor page with the menu as well as the notes.html page it creates.
The new sub does this for me at least, please try and report if it works.

We use Xymon for testing a couple SSL certificates.
For most of our pages, the test shows the right certificate, but for 4-5 
pages, the test shows the localhost at localdomain certificate.
For sure, if we check the page online, it uses the correct certificate.

Any idea, why this happen only just for some of the pages?

The host.conf entry looks same for all pages.

Is the page a redirect from another server? Xymon only returns the HTML
headers for the first server it hits.

Try running this command:

/usr/bin/openssl s_client -showcerts -connect <hostname>:443

It will return the entire certificate chaing for the given host.
