[zenoss-users] zLinks

[James Alspach]

I have a great zLink that somebody (I am sorry that I do not remember
who) helped me out with which allows me to get data from my rancid
server:

<a
href="http://10.1.3.66/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=RANCID&path=%2FSCO
E%2Fconfigs%2F${here/id}&rev=0&sc=0">RANCID</a>

This works great (as long as I ensure that the names in Zenoss are the
same as they are in RANCID...but that is another issue.)

In fact, it worked so well that I thought I would add one to our servers
class to link to Dell info based on the service tag:

<a
href="http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/product
_support/product_support_central?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=${here/hwser
ialnumber}">Dell</a>

 

Unfortunately this does not work for me.  Zenoss does not seem to like
the HWSerialNumber field.  I read the section of the admin guide on
TALES expressions.  It listed attributes that use "dev/*" or "evt/*"
(it is not clear to me whether or not you can use "device/*" and
"event/*" or if only the shortened versions are acceptable.  The text
seems to say it one way and most of the examples use the other) but
nothing that I can find uses "here/*".

 

A shove in the right direction would really be appreciated.

 

Thanks;

James
