for a face lift type of big GUI change, we need to convert C data sturcture into JSON format and json reader to render into cool GUI from 1. and convert those *.cgi scripts into *.js scripts.

I have started on a perl module implementing access to Xymon, at present there is a single module (Xymon::Client), and I have a 3-line perl script (bb.pl) emulating the bb binary.

The idea however is to provide a more OO api, which can then be used to implement a Model::Xymon for Catalyst, to allow retrieving data, which can then be sent to a View::JSON view (or, maybe even just send the XML from hobbitdxlog or hobbitdxboard?).

My javascript skills are not so great, and unfortunately I didn't bring my Javascript/AJAX book with me ...

I will make Xymon::Client available as soon as I am prepared for some criticism ...

I am busy with my personal xymon inventory project and I am going to use extjs/sqlite(or mysql) to store a host's inventory information

Have you looked at any existing inventory systems, such as ocs-inventory? GLPI, which has trouble ticket features, can integrate with it.

However, GLPI doesn't seem very ITIL-compliant (there isn't really a distinction between incidents, requests, and changes).

and connect system information with inventory information on xymon server page and also setting up sample projects to learn php/mysql/extjs and catalyst/mysql/extjs. Having catalyst to use extjs as View(instead of default plain TT) took me longest time.

Using View::JSON? Or a custom view?

Agree.

Me either, but I will know what I need to know about javascript.

Thanks for doing this task, I am help on this task since I am hoping to have a perl xymon torture test suite.

I am not aware of ocs-inventory but we do have existing coporate wide inventory system.

And I need inventory system that works with Xymon when integreation is needed with other inventory dbs,

SQL will be the bridge ;)

However, GLPI doesn't seem very ITIL-compliant (there isn't really a distinction between incidents, requests, and changes).

oh boy, why do I hear ITIL got mentioned here !

I guess this is good sign. Looks like big company is using Xymon.

A customer view, generate TT view and insert

See Chapter 1 in http://xymon.dlinkddns.com/books/catalyst-extjs.pdf

Also look for "Xymon EXT Desktop", I hope you as excited as me ;)

Very slick.

There is interest. Lots of interest. :-)

Here is what I have now. I've recreated the all of the icons and everything in the page is CSS controlled, although the tables are left in place for now to display status.

I really underestimated how many files would have to be changed to make this work and not being a developer, it's taken me a long time to find all of them.

I'd be more than happy to contribute this to the group if there is interest. At a minimum you could use all of the CSS to make your site look the way you want.

It would probably take me a week or so to document the changes and provide the information to the list.

I'm curious if anyone out there is working on a full-fledged alternate web interface to the hobbitd data. It seems like all the pieces are there for an AJAX/auto-updated and/or CSS-enabled display scripts, but before I plunge into it I was wondering if someone else already had.

I can't stop opening this screenshot and looking at it. I would love to have this in place on our server as well. Is there any way that you could tar up the files and share them? I'd love to play with this for our setup!

Thanks!
