# DESCRIPTION

Indexmaker can create web pages which display the status of an array of mrtg interface status pages.

--output filename
  set output filename (default: stdout)

--filter (title|pagetop|name)(=~|!~)regexp
  Several filters may get set. Each filter can match agains the contents of a specific section of the mrtg config file. Name refers to the bit in square brackets (option[name]: bla).

  Depending on the match operator chosen (=~ or !~) the match will be positive or negative.

  Note that some shells consider ! a special character. It may be necessary to type \!~ instead.

--title text
  Set title of generated index file (default: regexp)

--bodyopt text
  The value of this argument gets appended to the <BODY> tag. This allows to set document colors. By default this option is set to

       bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000"

--columns number
  Display graphs in a table with number columns (default: 2)

--sort title|name|descr|original
  Sort the graphs in the page either by title, by name, by interface description, or leave them as is.

--enumerate
  Add a sequence number to the title of each graph

--width number
  Set width of graphs

--height number
  Set the height of the graphs

--show day|week|month|year|none
  Select which graph to show in the index page. You can supress images completely with --show=none.

--section h1|title|name|description|portname
  Select what to use as the title for each graph in the page. h1 is the H1 section from pagetop, title is the graph title, name is the bit in square brackets (option[name]: bla), and descr or description is the text from the Description field of the PageTop (the Cisco description text if it's available, otherwise just the interface description). portname is the `Port Name:` from pagetop.

--sectionhost
  Extract the hostname from the target line (this does not work if the target is a mathematial expression). Prepend the hostname (and a colon) to the section if not already present.

--rrdviewer path
  If you have set the LogFormat: rrdtool property in the mrtg.cfg file, the index will take this into account. The only thing you must tell it is the path to your grapher cgi. (default: /cgi-bin/14all.cgi)

--prefix path
  By default we assume that the file generated by indexmaker is stored in WorkDir. If you want to store it somewhere else, specify how to reach WorkDir from the place where the Index is stored. Note that you have to use '/' as path separator as this will be used in urls. Speaking of which, you can even enter a whole url.

--autoprefix path
  Requires --output. Try to generate the prefix automatically by comparision of the path to the output file set with --output and the Htmldir set in the configuration files. Particulary useful when multiple configuration files are specified, with different Htmldir settings.

--optlog
  Default is logging in the generated page the command line, suppress with --nooptlog . Useful if the commandline contains a complex --pagetop=string which could confuse simple browsers.

--someoption-file filename
  For any someoption which takes a string as parameter you can read the string from a file by adding <-file> to the option keyword. The whole content of the file will be read and used as the string. The file must exist.
