Xymon V4.2.3 Where can I check/edit the content of the email body? I am seeing actual HTML code instead of interpreted HTML in email notifications: --- begin email text --- red System logs at Wed Dec 30 14:49:29 EST 2009 &red Critical entries in <a href="/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=gomez&SECTION=msgs:/var/log/syslog">/var/log/syslog</a> &red Dec 30 14:32:54 gomez su: [ID 366847 auth.notice] 'su root' succeeded for tsmith on /dev/pts/1 <pre> </pre> <pre> </pre> <pre> </pre> No entries in <a href="/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=gomez&SECTION=msgs:/var/adm/messages">/var/adm/messages</a> Full log <a href="/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=gomez&SECTION=msgs:/var/adm/messages">/var/adm/messages</a> Full log <a href="/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=gomez&SECTION=msgs:/var/log/syslog">/var/log/syslog</a> Dec 30 14:32:54 gomez su: [ID 367847 auth.notice] 'su root' succeeded for tsmith on /dev/pts/1 --- end email text --- Thanks, Lee

hobbit-alerts.cfg IGNORE TIME
by Lee＠glance.net 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Greetings all, I have been trying to figure this out and I think I am missing something real obvious. I am trying to ignore an event when a series of servers do some backups and the http test gets triggered for a second Sunday Morning at 3:35AM or 0835UTC. Here is the rule in hobbit-alerts.cfg HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 COLOR=red SERVICE=http IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 SERVICE=http TIME=7:0830:0845 But I get still get paged. Here is what I get when I run: ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test S1 http 00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Matching host:service:page 'S1:http:' against rule line 81 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 7:0830:0845 00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Failed 'IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 SERVICE=http TIME=7:0830:0845' (time criteria) In the hobbit manual there is an example that shows a similar rule set for Thursday using day 4:0000:0000 so I believe Sunday should be day 7? If I change the day to 6 I don't get that error in the --test output. Thanks and HNY! Lee J.

Fix wrt advanced graph title
by nelis＠nlr.nl 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hello, if for a host the NAME directive is used in bb-hosts, and if there is a blank space in this name, and if for a test data is collected in an RRD, and if the title of the graph is generated by a user-supplied script, the latter script will fail as the parameters are not at the expected location. The modifications below in hobbitgraph.c seems to fix this problem. Een gelukkig nieuwjaar gewenst, Wim Nelis.

Change mail alert subject
by peter＠netland.nl 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

Hi All,I was wondering, is it possible to change the subject of the alert emails(without using SCRIPT as a recipient)??The current email subjects are like "Hobbit [117845] testhost.com:conn CRITICAL (RED)" and i would like to change it to "testhost.com:conn CRITICAL (RED) Hobbit [117845] " so it can be sorted by host in my email client.I've searched the maillinglist but could not find an answer. I also tried to change the hobbit-mailack file but no luck.

Alignment of Server names different on IE versus Firefox
by thomas.andersen＠morganmanagement.com 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

I recently installed Xymon 4.3.0-o.beta2 on my Ubuntu system. The pages look great on Firefox. However, on IE all the servers are centered. I need them to be left justified like in FireFox. What do I do to fix this? Thanks!

[hobbit] Question about RRDTOOL Graphs in Xymon
by fredbo＠club-internet.fr 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Thanks for your help, the biggest difficulty for me is to be understable in english;) in fact I know how to fetch data from rrd files but I would like to know how is the most simple procedure to calculate avg/max/min that RRDtool prints in graphs. Fred Check where you have $INSTALLDIR/data/rrd on your hobbit server and you will find these rrd files for each server in their own directory. They are NOT in text format and you need to use the rrd tools to access the raw data. See the section on custom graphs for an example on how to dump one of these files. ......Bruce Bruce White Senior Enterprise Systems Engineer | Phone: 630-671-5169 | Fax: 630-893-1648 | bewhite at fellowes.com | http://www.fellowes.com/ Disclaimer: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
