How to use the critical system.
Running xymon 4.2.3 on a Sun Solaris 10 server.
Have read the document on the "Critical systems editor" and tried to edit a host but I get nothing in the hobbit-nkview.cfg file.
I have looked in the /var/log/xymon logs and I do not see any errors.
I enter a host name and a test and the click search. At that time I get a window popup "No recored forthis host/service". I then click on "update record" but nothing happens and the "Last update by:" does not change.
Not sure where to look for errors to try and find out what is going on.
Can someone give me some tips on how to get this going?
Thanks

Ensure the user as whom your web server runs has write access to the hobbit- nkview.cfg and hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak files (create them first if necessary).
Note that errors in the CGIs would go to your web server logs.

Instead of clicking on search, enter a hostname and test name. Click on update.
Check if the file ~/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg has been updated. If not, the owner/group that running the webserver doesn't have access to it. (Change as appropriate)

Make sure your hobbit-nkview.cfg file has read/write permissions for your webserver user, i.e. rw-rw-r apache:apache hobbit-nkview.cfg Also, go ahead and create a second file called "hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak" with the same perms/ownerships.
