NAME

       datepage.cgi - Xymon CGI script to view pre-built reports by date

SYNOPSIS

       datepage.cgi?type={day,week,month} --url=URLPREFIX [options]

DESCRIPTION

       datepage.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the datepage.sh CGI wrapper.

       datepage.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the type of time-selection
       that is desired: Either "day", "week" or "month" can be requested. It will then generate a
       web  form  with  appropriate  day/week/month  selection  boxes,  and  based  on the users'
       selection a resulting url is built from the URLPREFIX and the time selection.  The browser
       is then redirected to this URL.

       The URL is constructed from the URLPREFIX, the type-parameter, the value of the "pagepath"
       or "host" cookie, and the users' selection as follows:

       type=day
              The final URL is URLPREFIX/daily/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/PAGEPATH.

       type=week
              The final URL is URLPREFIX/weekly/YEAR/WEEK/PAGEPATH.

       type=month
              The final URL is URLPREFIX/monthly/YEAR/MONTH/PAGEPATH.

              YEAR is the full year (4 digits, including century). MONTH is the two-digit  number
              of  the month (01..12). DAY is the number of the day in the month (01..31). WEEK is
              the ISO 8601:1988 week-number (01..53).  PAGEPATH  is  the  current  value  of  the
              "pagepath"  cookie if set; if it is not set but the "host" cookie is set, then this
              host is looked up in the hosts.cfg file and the page where this host  is  found  is
              used  for  PAGEPATH.  These two cookies are set by the default web-header templates
              supplied with Xymon.
