CSVINFO.CGI(1)		     General Commands Manual		  CSVINFO.CGI(1)

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 follow-
     ing 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 contain-
     ing the column headings. Despite their name, the default delimiter for  CSV
     files  is	the  semi-colon - if you need a different delimiter, invoke csv-
     info.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 $XYMON-
     HOME/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
