findhost.sh with a different cfg env
list Mario Andre
Hello all, In old xymon/hobbit 4.3.0 version I used to generate different views using bbcmd and modifieds hobbitserver.cfg and bb-hosts files. Also for these different views I was able to create independent findhosts and enable/disable views for these specific env and bb-hosts files. For example: $cat bb-findhost-nwgroupview.sh #!/bin/sh # This is the Hobbit CGI script interface to bb-findhost.CGI . /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitcginwgroupview.cfg exec /home/xymon/server/bin/bb-findhost.cgi $CGI_FINDHOST_OPTS How can we do this kind of modified findhost cgi calls on Xymon version 4.3.30? How can I use and call findhost.sh to use a modified/renamed cgioptions.cgi ? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Mario

Hi Mario I imagine that you can still do the same thing. The only difference is that findhost.sh is now a binary rather than a script, and instead of it calling findhost.cgi, it implements the findhost.cgi functionality itself. So, in the same way that findhost.sh was a wrapper around findhost.cgi, you can write findhost-nwgroupview.sh as a wrapper around the new findhost.sh. Simply adjust your script to call findhost.sh instead of findhost.cgi. Although findhost.sh is in the cgi-bin directory now, so something like: exec /home/xymon/server/cgi-bin/findhost.sh $CGI_FINDHOST_OPTS Cheers Jeremy

Mario I'm not sure. Can you show your wrapper script? How are you having findhost use your abridged hosts.cfg file? Cheers Jeremy On Fri, 24 May 2024, 01:16 Mario, <user-82c7780661a4@xymon.invalid> wrote:
Hello Jeremy, Thanks for your response. Yes, this works partially now. I can call the findhostnwgroup.sh however the issue is that the search result is showing all found occurences from the entire monitoring/"official" hosts.cfg file and not only from the specific hostsnwgroup.cfg file. Even if I force findhost.sh with --env="" option still shows all from my system and it seems to don?t load the different env configuration. Do you have an idea on how to get the findhost.sh load the different env options? Thanks & regards, Mario
