Devmst is a program that generates the HTML code that displays the most
current graphs for each monitored interface for that device but without any
statistics. devmst takes one parameter, the sysName. Devmst reads the sysName.mst
file and generates a graph for each instance or group it finds in the file. The
most recent detailed graphs are generated for each interface/instance or group.
The lines within sysName.mst then determine what y legend, labels, titles and
threshold values are used.
devmst generates HTML that is dependant on the environment it is run
within. I.E. if it is run from within a web server or not. If run from within
the web server by the user selecting a hyperlink, then the resulting page will
contain further hyperlinks that will cause devdtl to execute for detailed views
of the interface. If devmst is not run from within the web server, devmst
generates HTML that has static links to other HTML pages that the user can
generate by running devdtl and saving the output. Using this combination allows
HTML and graphic files to be exported or moved to other systems for later
display. The graphic images are stored in separate files within the web
server's OverTime directory under another directory that is also called the
same as the sysName.
