# hobbit-statusreport.cgi(1)

CGI program to report a status for a group of servers

## NAME

hobbit-statusreport.cgi - CGI program to report a status for a group of servers

## SYNOPSIS

**hobbit-statusreport.cgi --column=COLUMNNAME \[options\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**hobbit-statusreport.cgi** is a CGI tool to generate a simple HTML report showing the current status of a single column for a group of Xymon hosts.

E.g. You can use this report to get an overview of all of the SSL  certificates that are about to expire.

The generated webpage is a simple HTML table, suitable for copying into other documents or e-mail.

hobbit-statusreport.cgi runs as a CGI program, invoked by your webserver. It is normally run via a wrapper shell-script in the CGI directory for Xymon.

## EXAMPLES

The Xymon installation includes two web report scripts using this CGI tool: The **hobbit-certreport.sh** script generates a list of SSL server certificates that are yellow or red (i.e. they will expire soon); and the **hobbit-nongreen.sh** script generates a report of all statuses that are currently non-green. These can be accessed from a web browser through a URL referencing the script in the Xymon CGI directory (e.g. "/xymon-cgi/xymon-nongreen.sh").

## OPTIONS

- \--column=COLUMNNAME

  Report the status of the COLUMNNAME column.

- \--all

  Report the status for all hosts known to Xymon. By default, this tool reports only on the hosts found on the current page from where the CGI was invoked (by looking at the "pagepath" cookie).

- \--filter=CRITERIA

  Only report on statuses that match the CRITERIA setting. See the *[bb(1)](/bb/1.md)* man-page - in the "hobbitdboard" command description - for  details about specifying filters.

- \--heading=HTML

  Defines the webpage heading - i.e. the "title" tag in the generated HTML code.

- \--show-column

  Include the column name in the display.

- \--show-colors

  Show the status color on the generated webpage. The default is  to not show the status color.

- \--no-colors

  Do not include text showing the current color of each status in the report. This is the default.

- \--show-summary

  Show only a summary of the important lines in the status message. By default, the entire status message appears in the generated  HTML code. This option causes the first non-blank line of the status message to be shown, and also any lines beginning with "&COLOR" which is used by many status messages to point out lines of interest  (non-green lines only, though).

- \--show-message

  Show the entire message on the webpage. This is the default.

- \--link

  Include HTML links to the host "info" page, and the status page.

- \--embedded

  Only generate the HTML table, not a full webpage. This can be used to embed the status report into an external webpage.

- \--env=FILENAME

  Load the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.

- \--area=NAME

  Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.
