Hi, I have 3 different server running xymon 4.3b, all are running great. There is one that is having issues graphing the only thing it will graph is the "conn" everything else just gets a "nan" error. This all started after we switched to a central config method. Thanks, ______________________________________________ Chris McMahon Systems Engineer III [cid:image001.jpg at 01CA7291.3F8ED4B0] 630 Plantation St. Worcester MA 01605 Tel: 774.261.1218 Fax: 774-261-1026 Email: chris.mcmahon at fallonclinic.org<mailto:george.mcmahon at fallonclinic.org> website: www.fallonclinic.org<http://www.fallonclinic.org/>

Compile Issue with latest SVN version of 4.3.0

Hey People, I have downloaded the latest SVN tarball and am having issues compiling xymon. The error I get is: In file included from do_rrd.c:546: rrd/do_net.c: In function ‘do_net_rrd’: rrd/do_net.c:123: error: ‘plusminuts’ undeclared (first use in this function) rrd/do_net.c:123: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once rrd/do_net.c:123: error: for each function it appears in.) rrd/do_net.c:131: error: ‘offset’ undeclared (first use in this function) I have rrdtoool-1.2.23-1 and I notice that this part of the function is not in the version that I am currently running. The code snippet that has the issue is: if ( offsetdirection && ((strcmp(offsetdirection, "+") == 0) || (strcmp(offsetdirection, "-") == 0)) && plusminuts && (strcmp(plusminus, "+/-") == 0) && secs && (strcmp(secs, "secs") == 0) ) { /* Looks sane */ sprintf(offsetval, "%s%s", offsetdirection, offset); } } if (offsetval) { sprintf(dataforntpstat, "offset=%s", offset); do_ntpstat_rrd(hostname, testname, classname, pagepaths, dataforntpstat, tstamp); } Any Ideas? If any more info needed please do not hesitate to ask Cheers Iain

BBWin Central vs Local Configuration
by malcolm.hunter＠gmx.co.uk 01 Dec '09

Hi, Does anyone know why the information displayed on Xymon is so different depending on whether you set BBWin to use centralised or local configuration? For example, services in central mode list all available services, whereas in local mode it only shows the ones you want to monitor - centralised mode also doesn't allow spaces in the service name. In centralised mode, it seems to be hit or miss whether it reports on events in the system log (some clients work, some don't), whereas in local mode it works fine. I think we may be sticking with local mode and finding a way to deploy configuration files for now.

What is causing this? my hobbit client is 4.2.0 -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
