This is an enhancement to the footer template file, to auto-hotlink hostnames to support click-to-connect for ssh:, telnet: and similar URLs.
An alternative is to create create “notes” files for servers (by creating a file in $XYMONVAR/www/notes/ called hostname.html) containing the links you require.
If ssh: links don't work for you, please check out this page describing how to use them.
Copy the file into xymonbodyfooter.cfg alongside xymonserver.cfg.
In xymonserver.cfg, set: XYMONBODYFOOTER=“file:$XYMONHOME/etc/xymonbodyfooter.cfg”
Create COMMENT or DESCR strings in the form “…(connect: ssh, rdp, telnet)…”
By default, the “(connect …)” text will be removed, but this can be disabled by changing the replaceConnect value from 1 to 0 near the start of the file.
xymonbodyfooter.cfg
<!--
-- Adds hotlinks to connect to the server. To use:
-- Copy this into the file xymonbodyfooter.cfg alongside xymonserver.cfg.
-- In xymonserver.cfg, set: XYMONBODYFOOTER="file:$XYMONHOME/etc/xymonbodyfooter.cfg"
-- Create COMMENT or DESCR strings in the form "...(connect: ssh, rdp, telnet)..."
-->
<!-- we pull in jquery and use it to manipulate the hostname to add links -->
