New feature request for Bbgen / Xymon?
list Bill Richardson
I have a page of 4 hosts and 35 custom tests plus the normal client
tests so over 40 columns. Any way to invert this to have just the 4
hosts on the top and the 40+ tests down the side? As it is today it just
doesn't fit/format right on the screen and is hard to view. I wonder if
anyone else has run into this one?
Example: The normal Xymon view looks like this
test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6 test7
test8 test9 test10 test11 test12 test13 test14
test15 test16 test17 test18 test19 test20
host1
host2
host3
host4
Any way to put the hosts on the columns to look like this:
host1 host2 host3 host4
test1
test2
test3
test4
test5
test6
test7
test8
test9
test10
test11
test12
test13
test14
test15
test16
test17
test18
test19
test20

I have run into similar problems and the only way (without coding changes) around it is to set up some sub pages that group a number of tests together ( eg environmental stats, app stats) and then use the group-only directive to specify which pages show which tests. You would then end up with a page at the top that lists your various tests eg: OperatingSystem Application Environmental And then on each page, the same hosts but with the different tests. The alerts all flow upwards, so from the front page you can still see if something is wrong. (Or you could open three browser windows with each window displaying a different page.) I understand your issue but hobbit inherently works to produce a list of hosts with columns of tests.
