Hi all,

for the past 3 weeks we've been working on a new Xymon web frontend that
better fits our needs of managing our somewhat extensive (~ 900 hosts) setup.
It's now in a state of being ready for daily use, so we would like to announce
it in case somebody else is interested:

https://github.com/daduke/Xymondash

Let us know if you have comments or even pull requests!

cheers,
-Christian

Do you happen to have more instructions than "check out repo and maybe
change some paths"?  I got that far and page loaded but it was basically
empty.  Nothing was populated.  What else do you need to do to get it to
work properly?

First thing I've found is the xymon2json wants python3. I only had python2 installed.  I added python3.4 but that did nothing.

ok I'll add this requirement in the README.

As it stands, it doesn't work at all in Internet Explorer.

it sure does, my colleagues are using it.

I do get the menu, reload and eye in the corner using firefox.  The menu comes up but no servers or tests actually come up.

is xymon2json producing the JSON? Open its URL in the browser and see if you
get the output. Once this works, the JS interface will either show output or
an error message.

good luck,
-Christian

No error message.

I get the 3 icons in the corner only in Firefox, the title and a column line of
prio1 prio2 prio3 other acked

These do nothing.

well first off, does xymon2json produce the JSON (you can check in your
browser)? If that's the case, the JS interface should either show content
or
produce an error message...

The CGIs have to run on the Xymon server as they call Xymon cli.

good luck,

you haven't said anything about the first item: does the JSON CGI generate JSON? No need to bother with the frontend until it does.

As I said: call it from your browser. You might need to change the path of the Xymon cli commands (I'll add this to the README).

Same here. OK, maybe it's because I only have python 2.6 and not python3.

Are you using priorities? If not, you'll have to check 'other' and 'ack'
in the settings. I should probably make that the default..

well this might depend on a lot of things..

1) after you get your first message, prio1, 2, 3 show back up and I
cannot see any way to make them go away again.

2) when you "marl as seen" everything from that point on shows up as
seen...even new events

4) when you hover over multiple events, only the content from the last
event is shown (for all events)

I haven't dug into the code to see what/why but wanted to share what
I've seen so far so others can corroborate or let me know "it's just you".

I'm not sure I understand. You mean the columns prio* are there? You can
hide empty columns in the settings.

2) when you "marl as seen" everything from that point on shows up as
seen...even new events
that's very hard to imagine since this button stores a list of test IDs
in a cookie - how can it guess future IDs? If you want, you can take a
look at the cookie and see what's in there..

3) Acknowledge doesn't seem to work
did you check that xymon-ack works? The JS is just calling that. The
xymon-ack header also tells you how to try from the command line.

4) when you hover over multiple events, only the content from the last
event is shown (for all events)
you mean you get several tooltips? You should only see one at a time

5) I see no way to unmark as seen
nope, wanna file a feature request?

6) once seen, you can no longer select it to see the info.

the host info? "works for me" of course, 'seen' really only adds a CSS
class, so this shouldn't have any influence on the link

7) the info page target really should be to "_blank"

I've been thinking about this but wasn't convinced. Your vote has been
recorded!

I haven't dug into the code to see what/why but wanted to share what

I'd appreciate any insight since some of your issues I cannot even

6) I notice this only appears to happen when 'mark all seen' is active it
also resets the hidden columns to be visible and nothing short of deleting
the cookie clears that up.  Are you doing anything else to make the link
unavailble (like z-index)?

Would it be possible to integrate the current date/time (like on all Xymon

main.js:

const XYMONURL     = '/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh';
const XYMONACKURL  = '/xymon-cgi/xymon-ack';
const XYMONJSONURL = '/xymon-cgi/xymon2json';

- I had to change the path to xymon in xymon2json on line 77:

    return ['/usr/bin/xymon 0 ' + cmd]

I didn't make any further testing for the moment.
