# hobbit-nkview.cgi(1)

Xymon Critical Systems view CGI

## NAME

hobbit-nkview.cgi - Xymon Critical Systems view CGI

## SYNOPSIS

**hobbit-nkview.cgi**

## DESCRIPTION

**hobbit-nkview.cgi** is invoked as a CGI script via the  hobbit-nkview.sh CGI wrapper.

hobbit-nkview.cgi matches the current critical statuses against the *[hobbit-nkview.cfg(5)](/hobbit-nkview.cfg/5.md)* file, and generates the "Critical Systems" view.

## RELATION TO BBNK PAGE

This view is a replacement for the statically generated "bbnk" page  provided in versions of Xymon prior to version 4.2. Although the  "bbnk" pages are supported throughout Xymon 4.x, it is recommended  that You switch to the newer Critical Systems view provided by this CGI.

## OPTIONS

- \--nkacklevel=NUMBER

  Sets the acknowledgment level for acknowledgments sent via the *[hobbit-ackinfo.cgi(1)](/hobbit-ackinfo.cgi/1.md)* page. Note that this may be overridden by the configuration of the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi utility.

- \--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

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
