NAME¶
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts
SYNOPSIS¶
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi
DESCRIPTION¶
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the hobbit-ackinfo.sh
CGI wrapper.
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is used to acknowledge an alert on the Xymon "Critical
Systems" view, generated by the
hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) utility. This
allows the staff viewing the Critical Systems view to acknowledge alerts with
a "Level 1" alert, thereby removing the alert from the Critical
Systems view.
Note that the Level 1 alert generated by the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi utility does
NOT stop alerts from being sent.
In a future version of Xymon (after Xymon 4.2), this utility will also be used
for acknowledging alerts at other levels.
OPTIONS¶
- --level=NUMBER
- Sets the acknowledgment level. This is typically used to
force a specific level of the acknowledgment, e.g. a level 1 acknowledge
when called from the Critical Systems view.
- --validity=TIME
- Sets the validity of the acknowledgment. By default this is
taken from the CGI parameters supplied by the user.
- --sender=STRING
- Logs STRING as the sender of the acknowledgment. By
default, this is taken from the loginname of the webuser sending the
acknowledgment.
- --env=FILENAME
- Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing
the CGI script.
- --area=NAME
- Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if
used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.
- --debug
- Enables debugging output.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
- BBHOME
- Used to locate the template files for the generated web
pages.
- QUERY_STRING
- Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
