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.
