Couple of things to note.. I am using pagesets and this setup is to be able to extract via rss only certain tests per hosts.
As someone had posted a couple of years ago, I modified bbgen.c so that if pagesets were enabled, it would still create rss. This seems to work good except that I also need to be able to display disabled status.
changed if (pageset || embedded || snapshot) enable_wmlgen = 0; to if (pageset || embedded || snapshot) enable_wmlgen = wantrss = 0;
I made the above mentioned change and created a new bbgen binary and use this to create the pages like this:
BBWEB="/hobbit/HelpDesk" $BBHOME/ext/hd_bbgen
--rss --rsslimit=blue --pageset=hd --template=hd
$BBHOME/www/HelpDesk/
Now for a sub group that has a disabled test, it shows green in it's rss. I have a network sub group in a 'net' directory, so the following is created:
$BBHOME/www/HelpDesk/net/net.rss
Not a programmer, but played a bit with the rssgen.c code and disabled this:
// if (h->color < rsscolorlimit) return;
The disabled test was then displayed on the 'net.rss' file, however it showed the actual result of the test, and not the blue (disabled) status, ie, a red condition.
Hope someone understands this and is able to help. I can clarify more if needed... TIA...

I was just trying to get useful data out of rss and it seems like this feature is only working on the bb2.rss and the last page in a tree. I don't know if --rsslimit=blue is supported? See my emails below. I wonder if your rss setup works normally. IE if you look at your bb.rss and you have something red under a subpage will it propagate up to the bb.rss ? Mine always stays Green.

I just tried this on a new test install of Xymon 4.3.0 beta2 and see the same thing. Bug?
Here is my BBGENOPTS in the hobbitconfig.sh
BBGENOPTS="--recentgifs --pagetext-headings --rss --subpagecolumns=3"

I upgraded to 4.3 beta2 a few months about and have turned on the --rss feed option. I see the bb and bb2.rss files are created as well as all subpage/subparent rss files. What I'm seeing is the bb.rss file and all subpages show "No Critical Alerts" even when I have RED alerts.
The only rss files that are working are the bb2.rss and and supbage/subparent that is at the bottom of the page tree.
Is anyone else having the same issue? -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Stella [mailto:stella at rider.edu] Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 12:49 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] RSS display disabled hosts
Hello,
Trying to create some rss pages that I wish to display offline status. I added --rsslimit=blue however the status displayed on the rss file is the actual status of the test.
For example if I have a test that would display red, but I disabled the host completely, the rss status shows the red condition. Also, If the host is green, but I disabled the host, the rss status shows green (no critical alerts).
Any ideas on how to go around this? TIA.
