Xymon 4.2.3 / Trouble with alternate pagesets 🔗 link

Hi all,

A couple of problems with alternate pagesets on Xymon 4.2.3 (I'll
be upgrading to 4.3.x shortly). Just to give a little background information, I have a virtualhost (xymon) pointing / on xymon to /opt/xymon/server/www . I also have one server running the Xymon display and two Solaris zones running half of the network tests
each (so three different places where the bb-hosts file exists).
The issues:

1) All of the links/embedded images are asking for /hobbit/gifs/<imgfile>.gif, despite the fact that this is the code
I'm using on the bbgen command:

BBWEB="/loc" $BBHOME/bin/bbgen --pageset=loc $BBHOME/www/loc/

...as per the manual. Adding a symbolic link in the / directory
(in this case /opt/xymon/server/www) hobbit -> . solves the
problem, but it makes no sense to me.

2) bbgen runs fine, generates the whole webpage structure, but all
of the subpages where the hosts are supposed to appear are blank.

I've used xxpage and xxsubpage and then defined on the host lines XX:<subpagename>. Originally I had the xxpage/xxsubpage stuff at
the bottom of the file and noticed that doesn't work, and I moved
it to the top and now this is where I'm stuck.

Any ideas or questions?

Does no one use this feature, or does it "just work" for others?

Here are my alternate pages:

# Offer alternate view by physical location
locpage nwk Newark Campus
locsubpage c630a MSB C630A, IST/EI-AS Non-Production Data Center
locsubpage a538 MSB A538, IST/EI Data Center
locpage msu Montclair State University
locsubpage uh6 University Hall 6th Fl, MSU-Hosted Data Center
locpage pisc Piscataway Campus
locsubpage sb11 RWJMS S-B11, IST/EI Data Center

And here are some from the hosts:

subpage lumtst Luminis Testing/Development
group-compress <H3><I>Luminis Testing/Development</I></H3>
10.136.100.125 blaven.umdnj.edu # CLIENT:blaven LOC:sb11

10.32.8.243 lum4test.umdnj.edu # CLIENT:lum4test LOC:a538

I don't have locations defined on every host in the file (because some
of them I don't care about showing really). I'm assuming that's
alright. Anything jumping out at anyone?

Hi Ryan,

as I wrote in my mail yesterday I think you need to use the
locgroup statement for every locsubpage and then add a LOC:a538,1
to your bb-hosts. I don't think that it will work without this
statement.

Regards Torsten
