Hi all
Taking this idea to the next step, is it worth thinking about adding this as a feature to future versions of Xymon. Have a host-tag in asbuilt:m:1 Update the as-built monthly on the 1st. Or asbuilt:w:6 to update weekly on a Sunday.
As part of the client scripts, we can have another script that generates a basic as-built docco and sends it to the server to update /usr/lib/xymon/server/www/notes/node1.html The script could be pretty simple to cobble together, and I am sure there will be heaps of contributions from the community out there for almost every supported version.
Thoughts?

Hi Martyn (and the others that replied)
This is exactly what I was looking for. This /usr/lib/xymon/server/www/notes/node1.html trick is what I wanted. I have a script that runs on each Solaris node just after the monthly explorer, and it creates an HTML based as-built document. The as-built isn't perfect, but it's good enough to satisfy management. And they are pretty impressed with the host-name link on Xymon taking them to an auto-updated as-built. Changes to the system are automajically reflected in the as-built on the 1st of every month.
Regards Vernon

Hi all
Some time back, there was a feature, hwereby the host name could become a link, perhaps to an as-built, or a CMDB entry for the host. I used it once before at another customer. I can't recall how to do this, and I can't seem to find the notes on how. Can anybody refresh my memory?
Regards Vernon
Hi !
You need only create an html-file with the node-name
e.g.
/usr/lib/xymon/server/www/notes/node1.html
