Adding a description to custom columns
Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to add a description to custom columns in Xymon? I want it to be like the default columns where you click on the name and it shows you a description. It looks like by default when you click on the name of a custom column a page comes up that just says "No match".

Hi Eric,
there is a file called columndoc.csv on the XYmon server in etc which can be edited and new lines could be added in the form:

columndoc.csv is the usual place to add very short descriptions. If you want to create a more complex description you can add a html file named like the test in the $XYMONNOTESDIR. If a "testname.html" is present there it will be used as the description instead of the columndoc.csv entry (f.e. disk.html). I have created a template html file which i rename and tweak for all my custom tests.

Hello,
the column descriptions you mentioned are configured in /etc/xymon/columndoc.csv or $XYMONHOME/etc/columndoc.csv. Unfortunately there is no /etc/xymon/columndoc.d as far I know. :-( ;-)
It's also possible to set the COLUMNDOCURL in the xymonserver.cfg to have a completely different per column documentation page.
Kind regards, Lars
