Anyone know what exact code or file generates the red.html page? I'd like to customize mine a bit and even possibly create my own new page.? I can't find any documentation on it and my grep searching isn't producing any results either.

The application named 'xymongen' builds the pages, using the templates in the 'web' directory.

Understood, but I'm finding nothing in there that defines the red.html page.

Hello,
I suspect it is generated by xymongen but within the code itself. We modify the generated 'nongreen.html' page so that if there is nothing 'non-green' (i.e everything is green) then it says 'All monitored systems OK'. To do that we had to modify the 'xymongen/pagegen.c' file in the source.
Taking a quick look at the source in xymongen/xymongen.c (line 664) shows:
nongreen_color = do_nongreen_page(nssidebarfilename, PAGE_NONGREEN, "red");
I suspect this is what actually creates the 'red.html' page. Three lines up shows it doing the same for the 'nongreen.html' file. ('do_nongreen_page' source is within 'pagegen.c'.)
John.

Crikey, I didn't even know there was a specifically-named red.html page . . and I've been poking at xymon/bb for a couple of decades. I guess that shows how often I look in that directory.
Reading in source, it looks to me like this is triggered in /xymongen.c/, as a special type of PAGE_NONGREEN (there, in line 664):
??? 659???????? /* The full summary page - nongreen.html */ ??? 660???????? if (do_nongreen) { ??? 661???????????????? nongreen_color = do_nongreen_page(nssidebarfilename, PAGE_NONGREEN, "nongreen"); ??? 662???????????????? nongreencolors = (nongreencolors & ~(1 << COL_YELLOW)); ??? 663???????????????? nongreencolors = (nongreencolors & ~(1 << COL_PURPLE)); ??? 664???????????????? nongreen_color = do_nongreen_page(nssidebarfilename, PAGE_NONGREEN, "red"); ??? 665???????????????? add_timestamp("Non-green page generation done"); ??? 666???????? }
and do_nongreen_page is defined in /pagegen.c/
?? 1128 int do_nongreen_page(char *nssidebarfilename, int summarytype, char *filenamebase)
So if you don't want this page to be generated, you're going to have to modify xymongen. And it appears that red.html is going to be controlled by exactly the same things which control nongreen.html

Thank you all for the detailed info.? I won't be modifying source code at this time.
I've got a distributed environment with Xymon Servers running in small offices and VM networks. The built-in pages that get generated are functional, but I'm monitoring all those remote Xymon systems with a master system that essentially rolls everything up to one clean screen.? It works but I was trying to strip the red.html page down even further.? I have an alternate idea I'll pursue that should give the result I'm after.? Thanks guys!

To those interested in my end result, I created a cron file that runs 'sed' commands to strip out what I don't want from the red.html file.? Not the cleanest way to accomplish my desired result, but it beats recompiling.? :-)

Hi,
We do the same. I poll 60+ xymon servers with
xymon <remote ip> "xymondboard --timeout=10 fields=hostname,testname,color,logtime,lastchange,ackmsg,dismsg,XMH_NOPROPRED,XMH_NOPROPYELLOW"
This runs in 10 threads parallel with a sleep of 10 seconds between the different runs.
The returned data is inserted in a mysql database (key = hostname + testname + remote IP) and we built a dashboard out of it that mimics the non-green page in a DIV. So we have 1 'block' per remote xymon server. The floating divs are sorted so the most recent one is the first one.
This page is reachable via a public URL and with some apache redirects, you can reach remote the xymon servers from anywhere in the world. If you want, I can share a screenshot privately (it contains customer information...)
