NAME

       csvinfo.cgi - CGI program to show host information from a CSV file

SYNOPSIS

       csvinfo.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       csvinfo.cgi  is  invoked  as  a  CGI  script  via the csvinfo.sh CGI wrapper.  Based on the parameters it
       receives, it searches a comma- separated file for the matching host, and presents the  information  found
       as a table.

       csvinfo.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the following parameters:

          key (string to search for, typically hostname)
          column (columnnumber to search - default 0)
          db  (name of the CSV database file in $XYMONHOME/etc/, default hostinfo.csv)
          delimiter (delimiter character for columns, default semi-colon)

       CSV files are easily created from e.g. spreadsheets, by exporting them in CSV format. You should have one
       host  per  line,  with  the  first  line  containing the column headings. Despite their name, the default
       delimiter for CSV files is the semi-colon - if you need a different delimiter,  invoke  csvinfo.cgi  with
       the "delimiter=<character>" in the query string.

Example usage

       This  example  shows  how  you  can  use  the  csvinfo CGI. It assumes you have a CSV-formatted file with
       information about the hosts stored as $XYMONHOME/etc/hostinfo.csv, and  the  hostname  is  in  the  first
       column of the file.

       Use with the xymongen --docurl
              The  --docurl  option to xymongen(1) sets up all of the hostnames on your Xymon webpages to act as
              links to a CGI script. To invoke the csvinfo CGI script, run xymongen with the option

                 --docurl=/cgi-bin/csvinfo.sh?db=hostinfo.csv&key=%s
