DocsRSS Feeds
RSS configuration
There are three parameters to be configured in the /etc/opt/eranger/eranger-ui.cfg file:
Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
rss_address | The base address for the feed | |
rss_mail_addr | An email address for the Author tag inside the RSS feed | |
rss_mail_name | A descriptive name for the Author tag inside the RSS feed | SKOOR RSS feed |
Enabling RSS access
The directory /etc/opt/eranger/ui/ contains configuration files which can be used for RSS feeds.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| rss-alarm.cmd | RSS feed for Alarms |
| rss-changelog.cmd | RSS feed for the Changelog |
| navigate-alarm.cmd | RSS quick access to alerted objects |
| navigate-changelog.cmd | RSS quick access to changed objects |
The corresponding URLs are as follows:
https://skoor.example.net?do=rss-alarm
https://skoor.example.net?do=rss-changelog
Login credentials can be entered in these configuration files, otherwise one needs to pass the credentials with the URL. This is accomplished by appending them to the URL as follows:
https://skoor.example.net?do=rss-alarm&username=MyRSSuser&password=changeme
The recommendation is to create a separate RSS user with read-only permissions and to configure that user in the configuration file(s). Furthermore https for the feed is advised.
RSS clients
Feed subscriptions can be added to the browser or in a email client like Microsoft Outlook.
Note, that the RSS feed is pulled by the clients. There is no push service. To get near real time notifications, choose a short update interval. While this is not an issue for a regular computer system it may harm battery life on mobile devices.
