Alternate web interface work?
list Japheth Cleaver
I'm curious if anyone out there is working on a full-fledged alternate web interface to the hobbitd data. It seems like all the pieces are there for an AJAX/auto-updated and/or CSS-enabled display scripts, but before I plunge into it I was wondering if someone else already had. Japheth Cleaver

Glad to know you are interested to improve xymon server's web GUI. I have been looking around current opensource offerings for this subject. Here is what I found. 1. Mainly there are choice of jQuery,protoype and extjs javascript frameworks for GUI Looking futher, I found there are other afforts to provide freindly GUI for an applicatoin. 2. qWikiOffice, is a php/extjs/mysql architecutre. 3. TomatoCart Administration tool, a reuse and improved gui but for eCommerce purpose. Some effort needed to adapt qWikiOffice for xymon server. for a face lift type of big GUI change, we need to convert C data sturcture into JSON format and json reader to render into cool GUI from 1. and convert those *.cgi scripts into *.js scripts. I am busy with my personal xymon inventory project and I am going to use extjs/sqlite(or mysql) to store a host's inventory information and connect system information with inventory information on xymon server page and also setting up sample projects to learn php/mysql/extjs and catalyst/mysql/extjs. Having catalyst to use extjs as View(instead of default plain TT) took me longest time. What is your detail idea to provide alertnative GUI for xymon server ? tj

Here is what I have now. I've recreated the all of the icons and everything in the page is CSS controlled, although the tables are left in place for now to display status. I really underestimated how many files would have to be changed to make this work and not being a developer, it's taken me a long time to find all of them. I'd be more than happy to contribute this to the group if there is interest. At a minimum you could use all of the CSS to make your site look the way you want. It would probably take me a week or so to document the changes and provide the information to the list. Robert

I would like to start soon, but the past two weeks have been a bit busy with moving from South Africa to Nigeria ... Since the new position seems to have even more urgent monitoring requirements, I hope to start with a proof of concept new web interface using a good web development framework that already has good support for framework (e.g. JSON views etc.). However the first priority here will be to get Xymon and devmon up and monitoring everything that needs monitoring. Regards, Buchan

I am not aware of ocs-inventory but we do have existing coporate wide inventory system.
And I need inventory system that works with Xymon when integreation is needed with other inventory dbs,
SQL will be the bridge ;)
However, GLPI doesn't seem very ITIL-compliant (there isn't really a distinction between incidents, requests, and changes).
oh boy, why do I hear ITIL got mentioned here ! I guess this is good sign. Looks like big company is using Xymon.

A customer view, generate TT view and insert See Chapter 1 in http://xymon.dlinkddns.com/books/catalyst-extjs.pdf Also look for "Xymon EXT Desktop", I hope you as excited as me ;) tj
