If a page contains for example Linux servers, I want to have a PuTTY column. Clicking on that should open PuTTY on my local Windows pc and connect to the selected Linux server on the xymon page. The same with telnet for Cisco devices and mstsc for Windows machines. That enables me to connect to nearly all monitored machines from one point just by clicking webpages.
How about if you use the built-in "info" button in Xymon? Look at the HOSTS.CFG manpages, specifically:
DESCR:Hosttype:Description Define some informational text about the host. The "Hosttype" is a text describing the type of this device - "router", "switch", "hub", "server" etc. The "Description" is an informational text that will be shown on the "Info" column page; this can e.g. be used to store information about the physical location of the device, contact persons etc. If the text contain whitespace, you must enclose it in double-quotes, e.g. DESCR:"switch:4th floor Marketing switch"
You may add html code to the DESCR field, and your browser will make it "clickable".
I think you're wanting something like the following:
(hosts.cfg) 192.168.1.24 servername.co.com # DESCR:"Web Server:description <a href=ssh:192.168.1.24>ssh</a>"
The above entry inside hosts.cfg would add a link of ssh:192.168.1.24 to the "info" button associated with that host in Xymon.
I hope this is clear; good luck!
