Find Host feature
list Craig Cook
I did a query looking for a host using the "Administration -> find host" feature. Put in my host name. Xymon changed the URL to be the actual host that it was sitting on, not the virtual web server name, so the query failed. Ie. http://xymon.example.com/xymon-cgi/bb-findhost.sh Find host: sunserver It returned: http://webserver.example.com/xymon-cgi/solaris/#sunserver.example.com (I use virtual apache servers to host xymon, it makes it easier to move to a new box if needed) Craig

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody, a colleague of mine has written a very comprehensive monitor script for one of our applications and it is sending the data under some virtual hostname. Now he asked me if (since he writes the real hostname where the application runs on top of his output) the find host feature can be used to "linkify" the hostname and if you click on it you'll be directly taken to the subpage where the host resides. But all my attempts were failures. So I pass this question onto you: How should the link look to make it work? I was thinking of something like http://myxymon.server.tld/xymon-bin/findhost.sh?hostname TIA Torsten - -- +---------------------------------------------------------+ | E-mail : user-c862b499d9fa@xymon.invalid | | | | Homepage: http://www.richter-it.net/ | +---------------------------------------------------------+ Download my public key from: http://gpg-keyserver.de/pks/lookup?search=0x899093AC&op=get -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAlQGpcwACgkQ7DlmxomQk6xXiACgmAZocKoCJypesGktL0yCFhOd 4sMAn1Rh8hEoSzvJqOxuVAc4ZdCkXTXL =fyQj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Good morning Torsten, the docs (https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man1/findhost.cgi.1.html) hint on `host=REGEX` as the correct parameter. The html-source of the search-form on the `jump`-parameter. So your URL should look like https://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/findhost.sh?host=felix&jump (Note: the link target on xymon.com currently points to a non-existing destination).

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Thomas, sometimes it pays to read the manpages. Especially when they are that good like Henriks. Thanks for the quick answer and this was exactly what I was looking for. Cheers Torsten

The documentation of Xymon is really excellent. A good time to say “Thanks for Xymon!” to Henrik :-)
