That same timestamp is in the title of that page. So, just locate your xymon.html wherever that is, and grep for "<TITLE>". It's about 8th line down.

Hey, thanks, Josh.

Sorry for the lack of clarity: I need to determine this info programatically. I'm guessing it will be embedded in some form of the "xymon ... "xymondboard ..."" command. (... or??)

Thanks!

The timestamp in the top right of bb.html and bb2.html is written after it reads the hosts and such.

Hi!

I'm really sorry if this is already staring me in the face, but what's the easiest way to extract the timestamp of the last time xymond successfully read in the hosts.cfg configuration data?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Henrik.

I'm fumbling my way through my first server-side extension, which, in the course of things, programatically manages additions / deletions to one of the contributing include files for hosts.cfg. I'm mostly having success but there are times when clients I'm adding appear on the Ghost Client list report rather than being instantiated as "real hosts" on the page that should be their "home".

I wanted to check that my program is actually sending "xymond" a "kill -HUP" and toward that end I was looking for a timestamp for last-signal-caught I could compare against the "right-now" time.

:-)

There really is no way of doing that. xymond doesn't have a way of telling you that, since I did not know it would be of use to anyone.

In fact, xymond doesn't even track this information at all.

What do you need it for ?
