Simple question

Hi all, I've recently setup xymon on debian and it is all running fine. What I would now like to do is secure web access to it. Is it a simple case of .htaccess files and in which case which directory should I secure - is it the 'xymon' folder or somewhere else? Thanks, John

testing remote hosts with different source address
by lchiavacci＠netartis.com 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hello everyone, I am using Hobbitmon 4.2 and I would like to set up a system with multiple IP addresses on network interface so that I can perform test to some hosts through an IP address and other tests through another IP address, and so on with multiple address aliases. The hobbitping has a --source option but bbtest-net does not. I have thought of using the LOCATION tag in bb-hosts and have multiple instances of bbtest-net in hobbitlaunch.cfg but I do not find a way to have packets exit from the system with a different source address for all TCP tests as well as ping. Has anyone ever done such a setup? thank you. Lorenzo Chiavacci

Display acknowlegde cause after expiration of the duration.
by bart.gillis＠msp.be 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi, I've been looking in the mail archive but couldn't find any answer for the following question: If an error resizes and sends an alert, we create an incident ticket and acknowledge this error in Xymon. During this acknowledgement we put the ticket number in the "Cause" field and we put the minutes that solving the problem is going to take in the "Duration" field.. In the Xymon web display we can see the acknowledge information. :-) If the resolving time is longer, the acknowledgement for this error will be released and sends an new error message. The Xymon Display doesn't show any information of a previous acknowledgement. In the acknowledge log I can see that this error has the still the same error ID. Is there a way to display the information of an error that was previously acknowledged so that we can instantaneous see that we've already created an incident ticket for this error? Best regards, Bart
