Hello again Xymon members,


I'm very new to both Unix systems and Xymon, and I have to say learning
Xymon on a Unix system is currently leaving me pretty stumped for a lot of
things.

Right now I am attempting to create a script that will read the past 20
minutes of a log file, and report an array of values back to Xymon. I am
looking for the end result to have a "green face" if less than five zeroes
are detected, a yellow from 5 - 10, and a red from 10 and up. I have the
script written, but I am unsure how to implement it into Xymon and have the
results printed out when I click on the face beneath the test column.
Results to be viewed after clicking the test column are in the format as
followed:

TIMESTAMP     DATANAME     DATATYPE     FREQUENCY     TIMEFRAME

With respective info included. So how would I go around formatting the end
result of a test to look like this when you clicked for more information?

Cheers all!

Joshua H

I would suggest formatting your output as an HTML table.  Here=E2=80=99s the =
reporting part of a script I wrote from a custom test that expands on the bui=
lt in CPU stats.  The status line has to be exactly as written up to the colo=
r.  Everything after the color is up to you.

$XYMON $XYMSRV "status $HOSTNAME.$TESTNAME $COLOR `date` $STATUS

<table>
<tr><td>$IDLECOLORDOT</td><td> Idle time&#58;</td><td>$IDLEPERCENT%</td></tr>
<tr><td>$IOWAITCOLORDOT</td><td> IO Wait time&#58;</td><td>$IOWAITPERCENT%</t=
d></tr>
<tr><td>$USERPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> User time&#58;</td><td>$USERPERCENT%</t=
d></tr>
<tr><td>$NICEPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> Nice time&#58;</td><td>$NICEPERCENT%</t=
d></tr>
<tr><td>$SYSTEMPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> System time&#58;</td><td>$SYSTEMPERCE=
NT%</td></tr>
<tr><td>$IRQPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> IRQ time&#58;</td><td>$IRQPERCENT%</td><=
/tr>
<tr><td>$SOFTIRQPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> Soft IRQ time&#58;</td><td>$SOFTIRQP=
ERCENT%</td></tr>
</table>
