NAME

       appfeed.cgi - Xymon CGI feeder for Smartphone apps

SYNOPSIS

       appfeed.cgi [options]

DESCRIPTION

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

       appfeed.cgi  is optionally passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the "filter=FILTER" parameter.
       FILTER is a filter for the "xymondboard" command sent to xymond(8) daemon. These filters are described in
       detail  in the xymon(1) manual. Typically, the filter will specify hosts found on a specific (sub)page to
       be returned, e.g. "filter=page=webservers" will cause appfeed.cgi to only return hosts that  are  present
       on the "webservers" page in Xymon.

       If no filter is specified, appfeed.cgi returns data for all red, yellow or purple statuses (equivalent to
       the data present on the "All non-green" page), or if invoked with the "--critical" option it returns data
       from the "Critical systems" page.

       The output is an XML document with the current status of the selected hosts/services.

OPTIONS

       --env=FILENAME
              Loads the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.

       --critical[=FILENAME]
              FILENAME specifies the "Critical Systems" configuration file (default: critical.cfg).  appfeed.cgi
              will only return the statuses currently on the "Critical Systems" view.

       --access=FILENAME
              In addition to the filtering done by the "filter"  parameter  or  the  "--critical"  option,  this
              option  limits the output to hosts that the user has access to as defined in the Apache-compatible
              group-definitions in FILENAME. See xymon-webaccess(5) for more details of this.     Note:  Use  of
              this  option  requires that access to the appfeed.cgi tool is password-protected by whatever means
              your webserver software provides, and that the login  userid  is  available  via  the  REMOTE_USER
              environment  variable  (this is standard CGI behaviour, so all webservers should provide it if you
              use the webserver's built-in authentication mechanisms).
