NAME
       acknowledge.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts

SYNOPSIS
       acknowledge.cgi?ACTION=action&NUMBER=acknum&DELAY=validity&MESSAGE=text

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

       acknowledge.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING	environment variable with  the
       ACTION, NUMBER, DELAY and MESSAGE parameters.

PARAMETERS
       ACTION  is the action to	perform. The only supported action is "Ack" to
       acknowledge an alert.

       NUMBER is the number identifying	the host/service to  be	 acknowledged.
       It is included in all alert-messages sent out by	Xymon.

       DELAY is	the time (in minutes) that the acknowledge is valid.

       MESSAGE	is  an	optional  text	which will be shown on the status page
       while the acknowledgment	is active. You can use it to e.g.  tell	 users
       not  to	contact	you about the problem, or inform them when the problem
       is expected to be resolved.

OPTIONS
       --no-pin
	      acknowledge.cgi normally requires	the user to enter the acknowl-
	      edgment  code  received  in an alert message. If you run it with
	      this option, the user will instead get a	list  of  the  current
	      non-green	statuses, and he may send an acknowledge without know-
	      ing the code.

       --no-cookies
	      Normally,	acknowledge.cgi	uses a cookie sent by the  browser  to
	      initially	filter the list	of hosts presented. If this is not de-
	      sired, you can turn  off	this  behaviour	 by  calling  acknowl-
	      edge.cgi	with  the  --no-cookies	option.	This would normally be
	      placed in	the CGI_ACK_OPTS setting in cgioptions.cfg(5)

       --env=FILENAME
	      Loads the	environment defined in FILENAME	before	executing  the
	      CGI script.

       --debug
	      Enables debugging	output.

FILES
       $XYMONHOME/web/acknowledge_header
	      HTML header file for the generated web page

       $XYMONHOME/web/acknowledge_footer
	      HTML footer file for the generated web page

       $XYMONHOME/web/acknowledge_form
	      Query  form displayed when acknowledge.cgi is called with	no pa-
	      rameters.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       XYMONHOME
	      Used to locate the template files	for the	generated web pages.

       QUERY_STRING
	      Contains the parameters for the CGI script.

BUGS
       When using alternate pagesets, hosts will only show up on the  acknowl-
       edgment	page  if  this is accessed from	the primary page in which they
       are defined. So if you have hosts on multiple pages, they will only  be
       visible	for  acknowledging  from their main page which is not what you
       would expect.
