I would suggest formatting your output as an HTML table. Here’s the reporting part of a script I wrote from a custom test that expands on the built in CPU stats. The status line has to be exactly as written up to the color. Everything after the color is up to you.
$XYMON $XYMSRV "status $HOSTNAME.$TESTNAME $COLOR date $STATUS
<table> <tr><td>$IDLECOLORDOT</td><td> Idle time:</td><td>$IDLEPERCENT%</td></tr> <tr><td>$IOWAITCOLORDOT</td><td> IO Wait time:</td><td>$IOWAITPERCENT%</td></tr> <tr><td>$USERPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> User time:</td><td>$USERPERCENT%</td></tr> <tr><td>$NICEPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> Nice time:</td><td>$NICEPERCENT%</td></tr> <tr><td>$SYSTEMPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> System time:</td><td>$SYSTEMPERCENT%</td></tr> <tr><td>$IRQPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> IRQ time:</td><td>$IRQPERCENT%</td></tr> <tr><td>$SOFTIRQPERCENTCOLORDOT</td><td> Soft IRQ time:</td><td>$SOFTIRQPERCENT%</td></tr> </table>

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!
