I tried to edit the hobbit-nkview.cfg to make this show up:

unix_8x5|http|||W:0800:1700|3|bvs_unix|<a href=" https://somewhere.our.domain/mediawiki/index.php/Hobbit_Repair_Actions#http">http</a>|user 2008-01-09 13:45:26

However, the html-markup (<a href etc) is stripped... :-(

Regard, Peter

Hello all,

After years of Xymon usage, I start to use the Critical Systems view. I have setup a BBGENOPTS to use a docurl. I expect this URL to show up on the Critical Systems view.

Either as the clickable host; either as the Host docs.

However, neither show the correct documentation.

In more detail:

• I have tested this with 2 Xymon distributions: 4.2.3 and Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2
• So I have setup:

BBGENOPTS="--recentgifs --subpagecolumns=2 --docurl= https://wiki.ourserver.nl/syntax/index.php/ServerInformatie:%s --rss --rsslimit=yellow --rssversion=2.0" # Standard options for bbgen.

• Below the screen that shows the Priority 2 call. The link shows the Info-text instead of the expected wiki-docs that does show in normal operation. Not on this screen:

*disk* <https://monxy.leidenuniv.nl/xymon-cgi/hobbitcolumn.sh?disk>

PRIO 2host (BSO-8x5 - Backup (XXX))<https://xymon.somewhere.nl/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=host&SERVICE=info>[image: red]<https://xymon.somehwere.nl/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=host&SERVICE=disk&NKPRIO=2&NKTTGROUP=bvs%5funix&NKTTEXTRA=>

And when I click the smiley, you get this screen... The Host info shows again the info-text. The Host-docs gives the same screen; it links to itself.

PriorityResolver groupDocumentation2bvs_unixHost info Host docs<https://xymon.ourserver.nl/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=hostname&SERVICE=disk&NKPRIO=2&NKTTGROUP=bvs%5funix&NKTTEXTRA=> Host-ack 30 minutes 1 hour 2 hours 3 hours 6 hours 12 hours 24 hours 2 days 3 days 4 days 5 days 1 week 4 weeks

From the man-pages:

"The detailed status view

When looking at the status of one of the items shown on the Critical Systems view, a number of additional items show up. On the example Critical Systems view above, you will notice that the instructions we entered about what to do with the disk status is shown here, so they are available to the operators. There are links to the host documentation and host information. " So is there something I understand wrong and does it work as expected? Or is this something else?

Any help much appreciated,

Peter
