CLI Event Report
list Vernon Everett
Hi guys I know this has been asked before, and probably answered, but I can't seem to find it on the list. I would like to pull a list of past events for the last 24 hours (or 72 for Monday) of events using the CLI. Management is looking for the incident list, and pulling it out manually from the GUI every day offends my sense of laziness. (I believe it is morally wrong for you to do any repetitive task the computer is perfectly capable of doing for itself.)

Well, for one, you could do what the GUI form does and use wget or maybe curl on the command line pointed at the CGI script URL to get what you need (my guess is with http POST to select the 72 hours portion). I don't know if you could then choose HTML or something else (don't recall how it works). Otherwise I'd poke around in the section of the manual that deals with the reports for clues. Another place I'd look is the xymon command itself. "xymonboard" is the name of the command to send to get the current status, perhaps there's another for history?

Or even easier would be to do a find -mtime in the histlogs file, and parse them each separately to produce one-liners from the status line, but I was hoping there was something even simpler. If I do put a script together, I will pop it on the list, but I really don't want to reinvent the wheel. Cheers V
