# smokeping-targets-generator

Reads INI formatted sets of hosts from stdin and produces a SmokePing compatible Targets file on stdout.

Smokeping has a weirdly verbose way of writing Target files which is painful to maintain manually. This tool aims to address the problem by using a much more succint input format and handling automatic generation of the various permutations on each host needed to specify its ID, location in the menu hierarchy, title etc.

## Usage

The INI formatted description should be of the form:

    [National:Foo Ltd]

    192.0.2.1=Host A

    hostb.example.com

    

    [National:Bar Ltd]

    203.0.113.1=Host One

    203.0.113.2=Host Two

Hosts may be specified at any point in the hierarchy, and hierarchies may be arbitrarily deep (e.g. `Level 1:Level 2:Level 3`).

The example given will produce a targets file like:

    *** Targets ***

    probe = FPing

    menu = Top

    title = Network Latency Graphs

    + 4E6174696F6E616C_National

    menu = National

    title = National

    ++ 466F6F204C7464_Foo_Ltd

    menu = Foo Ltd

    title = Foo Ltd

    +++ 486F73742041_Host_A

    menu = Host A

    title = Host A (192.0.2.1)

    host = 192.0.2.1

    +++ 686F7374622E6578616D706C652E636F6D_hostb_example_com

    menu = hostb.example.com

    title = hostb.example.com

    host = hostb.example.com

    ++ 426172204C7464_Bar_Ltd

    menu = Bar Ltd

    title = Bar Ltd

    +++ 486F7374204F6E65_Host_One

    menu = Host One

    title = Host One (203.0.113.1)

    host = 203.0.113.1

    +++ 486F73742054776F_Host_Two

    menu = Host Two

    title = Host Two (203.0.113.2)

    host = 203.0.113.2
