NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

datepage.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the type of time-selection that is desired: Either "day", "week" or "month" can be requested. It will then generate a web form with appropriate day/week/month selection boxes, and based on the users' selection a resulting url is built from the URLPREFIX and the time selection. The browser is then redirected to this URL.

The URL is constructed from the URLPREFIX, the type-parameter, the value of the "pagepath" or "host" cookie, and the users' selection as follows:

type=day

The final URL is URLPREFIX/daily/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/PAGEPATH.

type=week

The final URL is URLPREFIX/weekly/YEAR/WEEK/PAGEPATH.

type=month

The final URL is URLPREFIX/monthly/YEAR/MONTH/PAGEPATH.

YEAR is the full year (4 digits, including century). MONTH is the two-digit number of the month (01..12). DAY is the number of the day in the month (01..31). WEEK is the ISO 8601:1988 week-number (01..53). PAGEPATH is the current value of the "pagepath" cookie if set; if it is not set but the "host" cookie is set, then this host is looked up in the hosts.cfg file and the page where this host is found is used for PAGEPATH. These two cookies are set by the default web-header templates supplied with Xymon.
