[Xymon] html_mail.pl colour

17 Dec 2014

      Brandon,
Did you look at the newer version?
https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/alerts:html_mail1.2
David.
...
Just gave that a try changed the paths to use the URL and also tried
the full local path on the server without using those BB/xymon
variables in the perl script still getting the same problem. I must be
missing something really obvious somewhere.
Regards,

You probably need to tweak the perl code to use the full url for your
Xymon server...something like
<body background="http://example.com/xymon/gifs/bkg-red.gif">
Of course, the script says it's embedding it in the message so I'm
likely off base here.

I am trying to setup HTML email alerts, I found this script on
xymonton which appears to be exactly what I need
https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/alerts:html_mail I followed the
instructions and added it to my alerts.cfg.
It successfully sends HTML emails, however it doesn’t seem to contain
a colour to match the alert which I think it should? I assumed I would
get a line down the left side similar to what you see on the xymon
webpages.
This is what I get emailed:
If I look at the HTML source for the email I think based on this I can
assume the scripts logic is successfully matching the alert colour to
the correct .gif it needs:
<body background="cid:bkg-red.gif">
I checked on the xymon server and these files appear to exist where
they need to:
usr/lib/xymon/server/www/gifs# ls
arrow.gif bkg-red.gif      clear.gif favicon-purple.ico

green-recent.gif red-ack.gif         xymonbody.css
bkg-blue.gif bkg-yellow.gif   clear-recent.gif favicon-red.ico

purple-ack.gif red.gif             yellow-ack.gif
bkg-clear.gif blue-ack.gif     favicon-blue.ico favicon-unknown.ico

purple.gif red-recent.gif      yellow.gif
bkg-green.gif blue.gif         favicon-clear.ico favicon-yellow.ico

purple-recent.gif unknown.gif         yellow-recent.gif
bkg-purple.gif blue-recent.gif  favicon-green.ico green.gif

README unknown-recent.gif  zoom.gif
Am I doing something obivously wrong? And how do I go about
troubleshooting this
Note:
-This example is from a custom test, but I don’t think that could be
the cause of the problem as the script is determing the colour of the
alert as expected.
-Xymon 4.3.17 running on Debian 6
