4.4.0

Hi, I have downloaded 4.4.0.tar.gz and installed. All testpages have the text "link bb_footer" at the bottom instead of the bb_footer. Was that clear? -- Regards Lars Ebeling http://leopg9.no-ip.org Hobbithobbyist "I am not young enough to know everything." -- Oscar Wilde

"service" view
by doctor＠makelofine.org 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi, Is there a way to get service oriented view in xymon ? I mean, the ability to link different tests to define a global service ? The service should be out of the ones monitored by xymon. For example, the availability of routers, DB's and another host could define the availability of a corporate software that can't be monitored in another way.

PATCH: check for redhat's lsb_release location
by jcleaver＠soe.sony.com 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

RedHat, and maybe others, puts lsb_release into /usr/bin instead of /bin, which causes the initial test in hobbitclient-linux.sh to fail. Rather than trust $PATH, the following patch explicitly checks another location as well. Regards, Japheth Cleaver

500 internal server error from bb-rep.cgi when user agent is not WebKit-based
by wmorgan＠publicinterestnetwork.org 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

On Xymon 4.2.3, when you use a non-WebKit-based browser, you get a 500 internal server error from bb-rep.cgi. So Chrome and Safari work, but IE and Firefox do not. In fact, if I have Safari spoof a Firefox user agent header, then it suddenly starts getting the error too. This appears to be related to the usemultipart check in bb-rep.c that looks for "KHTML" in the useragent variable. It appears there is a bug that is only triggered when usemultipart == 1. When I change the line that sets usemultipart to 1 in bb-rep.c to usemultipart = 0; and then make clean; make; make install, the reports start working in all browsers. The Xymon server is running on Ubuntu 8.10 Server virtual machine (hypervisor is also an Ubuntu 8.10 Server running KVM). `uname -a` gives "Linux shire 2.6.27-7-server #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 07:37:55 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" Wes -- "Small acts of humanity amid the chaos of inhumanity provide hope.

undefined reference to `clock_gettime'

I'm trying to install 4.2.3 to a RHEL5.3 system. make returns the following: ../lib/hobbitclient.a(timefunc-client.o): In function `gettimer': /usr/src/xymon-4.2.3/lib/timefunc.c:55: undefined reference to `clock_gettime' ../lib/hobbitclient.a(timefunc-client.o): In function `getntimer': /usr/src/xymon-4.2.3/lib/timefunc.c:67: undefined reference to `clock_gettime' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I've seen a couple of posts that suggest I add LIBRTDEF = -lrt to the Makefile.

When an http test, that is composed of several URL's, fails. What goes into the retest queue, just the failed URL, or all of the URL that compose the test? Thanks, Larry Barber

LED Theme for Xymon
by malcolm.hunter＠gmx.co.uk 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

If anyone else is interested, I've just submitted some new images for Xymon. I created them so that my manager takes me seriously when I do a presentation on the new monitoring solution. Smilies are amusing but aren't really applicable in a corporate environment. Click on the download link at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2671788&group_id=1….

Hobbitd Client crashed
by wshart＠hormel.com 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

I've dug through the archives, but can't find anything that helps me clear this issue. We're running "Xymon" 4.2.2 on CentOS 5 and the crash was initiated when I started trying to use BBWin 0.12 in central mode. Switching back to individual mode still leaves it crashing all the time. I tried rebooting everything and it didn't help any. The core files that are generated don't seem to be pointing me anywhere specifically, though I could be running the checks on those incorrectly. We'd really like to be able to use the central mode of BBwin, so it would be great to get this running without errors again. Thanks for any pointers.
