Anyone ever wanted a way to publish site diagrams to web pages dynamically? Me, too! Here’s what I’ve come up with. I hope some of you smart people can help me improve on this concept. The boxes and links all have hyperlinks that move the viewer to more tools as needed.
I’ll include the code below.

Here is the script that creates a diagram. It pulls coordinates from dflt.mvw (default NetConfig view).
#!/hci/quovadx/qdx5.6/integrator/bin/tclset hostName “bhciigt.boone.org”
set hciRoot “/hci/quovadx/qdx5.6/integrator”
set hciSite [lindex $argv 0]
set file “/var/www/html/svg/diagram-$hciSite.svg”eval [exec $hciRoot/sbin/hcisetenv -root tcl $hciRoot $hciSite]
set view [exec grep all_threads /hci/quovadx/qdx5.6/integrator/$hciSite/views/dflt.mvw]
regsub {^view } $view {} view
keylget view MEMBER member
keylget member THREAD threadforeach line $thread {

Issues:
01) IE (which is a piece of junk) requires a
plugin to be installed before viewing .svg files. Firefox displays them out-of-the-box. For IE, I create a .html file and embed the diagram using the embed tag. Just use firefox, it’s easier and better.Here is the html.

Max Drown sweet Jesus and thanks!
I was able to get your sample .svg file to view in FireFox and not Internet Explorer like you predicted.
Do you have a suggested URL to get the .svg plug-in for IE; otherwise, I could Google one.
I tried using the HTML example but I did not get it to work and maybe you can help me connect the dots.
Here is specifically what I did:
– I made a directory on my AIX box for testing called /home/hci/public_html/russ and placed your sample .svg and .html file in it my test directory
– I was able to use FireFox to display the sample .svg file and not IE as expected using the URL http://mdahub4/~hci/russ/diagram-dev_max.svg
– I was not able to get IE to display the sample .html file using the URL http://mdahub4/~hci/russ/diagram-dev_max.html
What I get is a big empty rectangle displyed in IE when using the .html file example via the URL http://mdahub4/~hci/russ/diagram-dev_max.html
I also had to modify your code to replace the hardcoded line
Code:set view [exec grep all_threads /hci/quovadx/qdx5.6/integrator/$hciSite/views/dflt.mvw]
with this since my $hciRoot doesn’t start with /hci
Code:set view [exec grep all_threads $hciRoot/$hciSite/views/dflt.mvw]
I also share that I changed the following hardcoding, too:
Code:set hostName “bhciigt.boone.org”
set hciRoot “/hci/quovadx/qdx5.6/integrator”to the following
Code:set hostName “[exec show_service_name.ksh]”
set hciRoot “$HciRoot”then the code ran far enough for me to discover I need for you to also post the parseRoutes code for me to continue with this endeavor.

Looks pretty cool! Now just add the thread status, run it every X minutes, and you’ve got your own version of a web-based monitoring tool!I agree Jim and we’ve had the thread status html web pages that Don Ramey wrote for us run every 5 or 10 minutes many years ago even before global monitoring came about I think.
What I often end up doing is send the customer a screen shot of the netmonitor so they can connect the dots visually and this should be helpful in that regard.

The monitoring piece was the first enhancement I thought of, too, and is under development, but it seems awful slow to me so far. I’ll be playing around more with it a lot in the future. Please use this thread to make suggestions or add code.
Here is the SVG plugin: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html

You have to use Javascript to source the SVG object in IE thanks to their new IE security.
Attached is the javascript to source the object. But all it is is ‘document.write(obHTML);’ but it has to be in a sourced javascript file to work. Well, Clovertech won’t let me post the file so you would create the file activateSVG.js on your web server, then insert the code within the single quotes above.
Then in the HTML document I have the following:
var obHTML = ”
This works in IE 6 & 7, haven’t tried 8 yet.

Yes the plugin is required. I still use the Adobe one even though they have sunset it. It’s been the most stable.
We are trying to add support for Mozilla, Chrome, etc, but the way they deal with scripting is causing problems. The SVG’s will display just fine but the AJAX backbone doesn’t work the same so we lose our dynamic content, which is almost everything. I think Mozilla will be workable but the others I don’t think will be worth the effort to support.

Here it is. There is some extra stuff in there that won’t apply to you but you should get the idea.

Looks like eventually Internet Explorer will support SVG natively. Firefox and Chrome already do. The wiki says IE9.

Firefox 4 has many performance improvements and offers many new functions and features. But this one in particular caught my eye …
Quote:SVG files can now be used as images and backgrounds in Firefox, meaning that developers and designers can have stunning, performance-conscious websites with lighter, resolution-independent image files.
