Utility to capture disk usage in HTML format (tabular)

John Bosco — Tue, 22 Oct 2002 03:13:14 GMT

Hi hp-ux gurus,

I need help to get a web site ready for management reporting purposes. One of the requirements is to display the following info (vgdisplay output) in a HTML table:-

VG Name /dev/vg00
Alloc PE 2223
Free PE 2117
VG Name /dev/vg01
Alloc PE 8594
Free PE 87
VG Name /dev/vg02
Alloc PE 8654
Free PE 27
----------------------------------------------------------
Total XXXXXX
=============================
This seems to be a simple task but I know very little HTML & I need advise on how best to transfer this info in real time from a hp-ux server to the web server, i.e. by clicking on a link with the hostname.

Really appreciate whatever help I can get.

Rgds,
John

Hi ,

Try the cfg2html utility. It collects your system configuration and formats it to HTML. Attached is our test machine configuration.

The website for cfg2html is:

Dear All,

Thank you for your prompt response. I have actually reviewed both cfg2html & nickel in another post.

The output of both are somewhat raw, i.e. bdf, vgdisplay output.

For this purpose I have created 3 arrays to hold the VG name, Alloc PE & Free PE. These can later be manipulated for totals etc.

I hope this makes sense but I'm just wondering if someone has come up with something similar to manage disk space on the hp-ux boxes.

Rgds, John

I did some work with displaying reports on a html site and found that all you need to do is put


at the top of the document.
Does it have to be real time or could you update the file via cron every 30 min , then use ftp to transfer the file to your web server. Also would it not be better to use MB not PE as the PE can vary.

Hi John,

Don't know if you are still interested, but here's something I hacked together. It gathers all the VG info and bdf info and puts it into a table with the Lvols listed down the left side and the PVs listed across the top. Makes it really easy to see where the data is. Let me know if it works for you.

Oh yeah... it requires perl 5.6 & the CGI module. But they come with HP-UX now, so you should be able to just drop it in your cgi-bin directory. Then call it from the browser as: http:\\yourserver\cgi-bin\qvg.pl?node=theServerYouWantToMap

Oops... one more thing I forgot to mention... This thing does remsh commands, so you'll have to setup .rhosts on the "client" nodes for the http server with it's user. For example, if your http server is on host "foo", you can just do this ina browser to get the vg infor for foo:

http://foo/cgi-bin/qvg.pl

But if you want the info from host "bar", first you have to setup the .rhosts on "bar" in the home of the user that runs httpd on foo... we run ours as user www, so on "bar" you'd need a .rhost entry like this:

foo www

Then in the browser, do this:

http://foo/cgi-bin/qvg.pl?node=bar
