I'm trying to get some more meaningful output from my custom zencommands. With previous network monitoring solutions, such as bb and hobbit, I've been able to do a full page of text, formatted in html for example, that my browser will render.
With zenoss, I have only been able to basically do a single-line output. Anything more is cut off. Formatting is escaped so that the browser can't render it. (Also so it doesn't break other things, I'm sure). For example: I use zenoss to monitor backups and the output of portaudit on our FreeBSD machines. I can have zenoss trigger an error when there's an error on the backup job, or trigger an error when I have a portaudit alert, however, if I have multiple errors, or multiple alerts, it would be much easier to read, and much more useful if I could simply display some sort of formatted text explaining the results - which packages are affected, what the errors during backup were, links to the security alert web page, and so on. I can get all thie text in there as is, however it's one damn line. Going into the event details results in scrolling sideways for days to read the whole message, and I'm unable to format any links, etc. Is there any way around this?
