HI monks,
I have a scenario in which i have to generate "dynamic html".
I have data in the form of
Router Interfaces
aab.dsd.ll.com 138.196.122.11,138.196.122.12 etc
First question : i am making a reporting package for bandwitdh utilization in which i will be using mysql to store the data
1 Should i store the above data in a table ?
If anyone adds a new row to my table then i want that routername to get added to the list on the first html page and on clicking it there should be a page showing all interfaces of that router.(click on any one of them and the respective graph appears).
2 or should i just store it in a text file as router,interface1,interface 2 .
Or maybe i could just store in a hash in the script but that wont provide easy config to the maintainer.
More importantly 3 is there any module or technique to generate html on the fly
as soon as someone adds an entry to th db or file the webpage should show the extra links.
I know one way : Read file or db(DBI) ,parse data and then output html for them .But it is ungainly an mixes html and perl code.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Chimni
