Project: Xymon dashboard
First thing I've found is the xymon2json wants python3. I only had python2 installed. I added python3.4 but that did nothing. ok I'll add this requirement in the README.
As it stands, it doesn't work at all in Internet Explorer. it sure does, my colleagues are using it.
I do get the menu, reload and eye in the corner using firefox. The menu comes up but no servers or tests actually come up. is xymon2json producing the JSON? Open its URL in the browser and see if you get the output. Once this works, the JS interface will either show output or an error message.
good luck, -Christian
No error message.
I get the 3 icons in the corner only in Firefox, the title and a column line of prio1 prio2 prio3 other acked
These do nothing.
On IE (version 11) , I get a box with a 10 in it, a pull down of min - hours - days. And a dialog box saying 'working on it'.
That's it.
In firefox and chrome, the help dialog (mark all as seen, reload data, open settings) come up. The menu will come up. Checking boxes works, I can change the font.
No output no error message.

Hi,
same here. I have one host on my critical view with PRIO1 status, but it doesn't show up on the Xymondash.

you haven't said anything about the first item: does the JSON CGI generate JSON? No need to bother with the frontend until it does.

How do I check that?

Call what from my browser? Do you mean the xymon2json script?

Paul,
Look at the python script and it has an example of what to feed xymon2json.
Christian,
I get the json response and there should be a message but the interface is all green with no other output. Also, I had to copy the python scripts to xymon-cgi since (for reasons I haven't dug into yet, apache refuses to recognize the files as CGI scripts).

Selecting 'other' and 'ack' did get them to show up.
re:apache, yes...I just haven't taken the time to figure out exactly why at the moment and generally. I've seen uWSGI used for python...but that's a different issue. It's functional enough to play with at the moment.

git pull everybody! I just updated the README with everything encountered so far. Sorry for your problems, but hey, that's what beta testers are for, right? We'll look into the Python 3.4 vs 3.6 issue tomorrow.
thanks, -Christian
Several issues I've noticed...
- after you get your first message, prio1, 2, 3 show back up and I cannot see any way to make them go away again.
- when you "marl as seen" everything from that point on shows up as seen...even new events
- Acknowledge doesn't seem to work
- when you hover over multiple events, only the content from the last event is shown (for all events)
- I see no way to unmark as seen
- once seen, you can no longer select it to see the info.
- the info page target really should be to "_blank"
I haven't dug into the code to see what/why but wanted to share what I've seen so far so others can corroborate or let me know "it's just you".

Hi Galen,
thanks for your feedback!
- after you get your first message, prio1, 2, 3 show back up and I cannot see any way to make them go away again. I'm not sure I understand. You mean the columns prio* are there? You can hide empty columns in the settings.
- when you "marl as seen" everything from that point on shows up as seen...even new events that's very hard to imagine since this button stores a list of test IDs in a cookie - how can it guess future IDs? If you want, you can take a look at the cookie and see what's in there..
- Acknowledge doesn't seem to work did you check that xymon-ack works? The JS is just calling that. The xymon-ack header also tells you how to try from the command line.
- when you hover over multiple events, only the content from the last event is shown (for all events) you mean you get several tooltips? You should only see one at a time
- I see no way to unmark as seen nope, wanna file a feature request?
- once seen, you can no longer select it to see the info. the host info? "works for me" of course, 'seen' really only adds a CSS class, so this shouldn't have any influence on the link
- the info page target really should be to "_blank" I've been thinking about this but wasn't convinced. Your vote has been recorded!
I haven't dug into the code to see what/why but wanted to share what I've seen so far so others can corroborate or let me know "it's just you". I'd appreciate any insight since some of your issues I cannot even imagine..
thanks, -Christian
- the settings are already set to not display them. I even tried resetting them and unsetting them to no effect.
- each event should have it's own id not a shared id (I'm assuming as I have to had time to dig into the code) otherwise how can you say "I've not seen this one"?
- I'll need to try that...will get back to you
- I do see only one at a time but the content is always the same from the last one in the list
- I'll see about that
- Not sure how you're seeing it as when I click on it, nothing happens. Previous it would direct me to xymon info page.
- thanks
If I can figure some of these out, I may try my hand at a pull request (may not be soon).

- I haven't been able to replicate this at home...
- the "mark all seen" throws the following error...but does still 'work'
Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [data-host= fqdn.example.com] at Function.oe.error (jquery.js:2) at oe.tokenize (jquery.js:2) at oe.select (jquery.js:2) at Function.oe [as find] (jquery.js:2) at w.fn.init.find (jquery.js:2) at new w.fn.init (jquery.js:2) at w (jquery.js:2) at HTMLDivElement.<anonymous> (main.js:354) at Function.each (jquery.js:2) at w.fn.init.each (jquery.js:2) at XMLHttpRequest.processData [as callback] (main.js:350) at XMLHttpRequest.xhr.onload (main.js:442)
I'm not seeing anything obvious...but that's not saying much
- xymon-ack does test ok...this is another case of it's works at home
- this behaves the same at home but the red tests do change the hover text but blue and yellow only shows the last item same as before
- I notice this only appears to happen when 'mark all seen' is active it also resets the hidden columns to be visible and nothing short of deleting the cookie clears that up. Are you doing anything else to make the link unavailble (like z-index)?

thanks Galen for further testing.
Do you think you could send me your JSON file(s)? Right now I can't figure out if your issues originate in data retrieval (python) or its processing (JS). Having your JSON I could test it locally.
