The Summary Screen is great for me but not quite what the helpdesk is looking for. I have modified the original shell script that Henrick sent me.
I have included the hacked file and Erik Bosrup's overLIB javascript.It provides a small list of the error states a host has ie,
Host error error1 error2
Quick visual assessment of when errors happened with popups that display the graph for that error (if there is one) using overlib_mini.js.
To try it out copy ng.sh into your hobbit-cgi/ directory ... modify ng.sh to suit your environment BBSERVERROOT="/home/hobbit" HOBBITHTTP="http://something.blah/hobbit" HOBBITCGI="http://something.blah/hobbit-cgi"
And put overlib_mini.js into the /hobbit/ dir of your webserver
The popups seem to work in recent versions of IE and Firefox.
It's not quite perfect but perhaps it conveys my idea more successfully.
Regards,
Alun

OK, I understand now. But perhaps it is simpler to "play" with the layout via a simple shell-script (not that I recommend doing shell scripts for performance critical stuff - far from) to get the design/layout right it is a useful prototype.
Thinking about this a bit more, it occurred to me that the current "hobbit-statusreport" CGI could easily be tweaked to support this. If you grab the latest snapshot, build it and copy the web/hobbit-statusreport.cgi file to your ~hobbit/server/bin/ directory. Then create this wrapper in your Hobbit cgi-bin directory:
#!/bin/sh
. /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg
exec /usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbit-statusreport.cgi
--filter="color=red,yellow" --all
--heading="All non-green systems"
--show-column
--show-summary
--link
Running this CGI script will produce a text-only report of the current non-green statuses. The "--show-summary" option causes the report to have just a stripped-down summary of the current status, if you want the full status text just remove that option.
