change custom column icon

list Kris Springer · Tue, 22 May 2018 07:54:11 -0700 ·

I've got a custom column that always shows green.  I'd like to make that
column show the 'info' icon instead.  Ideas?

Thank you.

Sorry, but what's the "info" icon? On my system the info icon is the same
green icon as any other column icons.

In xymonserver.cfg you should find:

INFOCOLUMN="foo"  	# Column where the info-pages are reported.
INFOCOLUMNGIF="bar"	# Icon file used for the info-column

On my servers, foo==info and bar==folder.png
I forget what default values are. Maybe those are defaults.

I'm not aware of any way to change the icons for custom tests.

I have custom icons and themed my systems to make them a bit less neon, more professional and easy on the eyes. I've attached a screenshot. Hopefully the mailing list doesn't strip it off.

Here's what I have in my xymonserver.cfg

INFOCOLUMN="info"
INFOCOLUMNGIF="info.png"
TRENDSCOLUMN="graphs"
TRENDSCOLUMNGIF="trends-graphs.png"
CLIENTCOLUMN="clientlog"
CLIENTCOLUMNGIF="info.png"

I would like a few of my custom tests to have the same 'info.png' icon instead of the green/yellow/red icons. 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.

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"

Thank you.

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.

Yep, makes sense.

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.

Cheers
Jeremy

Tried it but the javascript doesn't affect anything.

Also you should use https on your javascript source line or the browser blocks it. ;-)

Thank you.
