NAME

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts

SYNOPSIS

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the hobbit-ackinfo.sh CGI wrapper.

       hobbit-ackinfo.cgi  is  used  to  acknowledge an alert on the Xymon "Critical Systems" view, generated by the hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) utility.
       This allows the staff viewing the Critical Systems view to acknowledge alerts with a "Level 1" alert, thereby removing the alert  from  the
       Critical Systems view.

       Note that the Level 1 alert generated by the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi utility does NOT stop alerts from being sent.

       In a future version of Xymon (after Xymon 4.2), this utility will also be used for acknowledging alerts at other levels.

OPTIONS

       --level=NUMBER
	      Sets  the  acknowledgment  level. This is typically used to force a specific level of the acknowledgment, e.g. a level 1 acknowledge
	      when called from the Critical Systems view.

       --validity=TIME
	      Sets the validity of the acknowledgment. By default this is taken from the CGI parameters supplied by the user.

       --sender=STRING
	      Logs STRING as the sender of the acknowledgment. By default, this is taken from the loginname of the webuser sending the acknowledg-
	      ment.

       --env=FILENAME
	      Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.

       --area=NAME
	      Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.

       --debug
	      Enables debugging output.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.

       QUERY_STRING
	      Contains the parameters for the CGI script.

NAME

       hobbit-statusreport.cgi - CGI program to report a status for a group of servers

SYNOPSIS

       hobbit-statusreport.cgi --column=COLUMNNAME [options]

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-statusreport.cgi	is  a CGI tool to generate a simple HTML report showing the current status of a single column for a group of Xymon
       hosts.

       E.g. You can use this report to get an overview of all of the SSL certificates that are about to expire.

       The generated webpage is a simple HTML table, suitable for copying into other documents or e-mail.

       hobbit-statusreport.cgi runs as a CGI program, invoked by your webserver.  It is normally run via a wrapper shell-script in the CGI  direc-
       tory for Xymon.

EXAMPLES

       The  Xymon installation includes two web report scripts using this CGI tool: The hobbit-certreport.sh script generates a list of SSL server
       certificates that are yellow or red (i.e. they will expire soon); and the hobbit-nongreen.sh script generates a report of all statuses that
       are  currently  non-green.  These  can be accessed from a web browser through a URL referencing the script in the Xymon CGI directory (e.g.
       "/xymon-cgi/xymon-nongreen.sh").

OPTIONS

       --column=COLUMNNAME
	      Report the status of the COLUMNNAME column.

       --all  Report the status for all hosts known to Xymon. By default, this tool reports only on the hosts found on the current page from where
	      the CGI was invoked (by looking at the "pagepath" cookie).

       --filter=CRITERIA
	      Only  report  on	statuses that match the CRITERIA setting. See the bb(1) man-page - in the "hobbitdboard" command description - for
	      details about specifying filters.

       --heading=HTML
	      Defines the webpage heading - i.e. the "title" tag in the generated HTML code.

       --show-column
	      Include the column name in the display.

       --show-colors
	      Show the status color on the generated webpage. The default is to not show the status color.

       --no-colors
	      Do not include text showing the current color of each status in the report. This is the default.

       --show-summary
	      Show only a summary of the important lines in the status message.  By default, the entire status message appears	in  the  generated
	      HTML code. This option causes the first non-blank line of the status message to be shown, and also any lines beginning with "&COLOR"
	      which is used by many status messages to point out lines of interest (non-green lines only, though).

       --show-message
	      Show the entire message on the webpage. This is the default.

       --link Include HTML links to the host "info" page, and the status page.

       --embedded
	      Only generate the HTML table, not a full webpage. This can be used to embed the status report into an external webpage.

       --env=FILENAME
	      Load the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.

       --area=NAME
	      Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.
