HOBBIT-GHOSTS.CGI(1)
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 IPaddress 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.
