NAME¶
hobbit-ghosts.cgi - CGI program to view ghost clients
SYNOPSIS¶
hobbit-ghosts.cgi
DESCRIPTION¶
hobbit-ghosts.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the hobbit-ghosts.sh CGI
wrapper.
It generates a listing of the Xymon clients that have reported data to the Xymon
server, but are not listed in the
bb-hosts(5) file. Data from these
clients - called "ghosts" - are ignored, since Xymon does not know
which webpage to present the data on.
The listing includes the hostname that the client reports with, the IP-address
where the report came from, and how long ago the report arrived.
By far the most common reason for hosts showing up here is that the client uses
a hostname without a DNS domain, but the bb-hosts file uses the hostname with
the DNS domain. Or vice versa. You can then use a
CLIENT setting in the
bb-hosts file to match the two hostnames together.
OPTIONS¶
- --env=FILENAME
- Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing
the CGI script.
