XML based Collections

[Saurabh Seth]

hi all,
i am trying to have collections done through an xml file . is there any functionality in opennms to do so or would i have to write a plugin for the same ??? Can the HTTP collector be used here???
Fetching the xml files is not an issue , the only issue is where to parse them and how to store the data in the rrd/jrb files.
any kind of help would be appreciated .


Thanking you,
Saurabh Seth

Hi,

i guess this should be not a big deal to do a datacollection from xml. You can build a really small PHP page with simple XML or a Java and JSP

If you build an HTTP datacollection you can build a very simple webpage with a key value structure.

The output from the PHP XML parser should produce an output like this

I hope it helps
