Xymon version 4.2.2 RC1 available
by henrik＠hswn.dk 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I've just made the release-candidate of version 4.2.2 available for download on Sourceforge. https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058&package_id=14… This is how I would expect the interim 4.2.2 release to be. It includes the following changes from 4.2.0: *) Due to the Hobbit project being renamed to Xymon (for legal reasons), the documentation has been updated to refer to this as the name of the project. *) All patches from the "all-in-one" patch have been applied *) Patches from Debian and Mandriva source archives and elsewhere have been merged, fixing: - The "Critical Systems" configuration report would crash when hosts were in NKview.cfg, but no NK tags were in bb-hosts (from Mandriva) - SSL certificates with 4-digit expiration years would crash the network tester (from Debian) - Newer OpenLDAP versions have a different API, so the LDAP test code would not build correctly (from Debian) - Old Big Brother clients report disk output with no header line (from Debian) - The bb-hosts syntax for HTTP testing via a proxy could not support https target-URL's (from Debian) - Certain SuSE versions would not be identified by the Linux client as such (only affected OS name displayed in the "info" status). *) Support for sending custom graph data in a "trends" data message (from http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2007/01/msg00236.html) *) Split-NCV and TRACKMAX support for custom graphs (from http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbiton/2007/03/msg00368.htm) *) Support for the "BBWin" client http://bbwin.sf.net/ in centralized (server-side) configuration mode. Based on BBWin v. 0.12. *) Support for the "hobbit-perl-client" add-on http://hobbit-perl-client.sf.net/ . Based on perl-http-client v1.15 *) Support for the "Devmon" SNMP data collector http://devmon.sf.net/ based on Devmon 0.3.0. A last-minute update for Devmon was missed in the RC1 source file, so Devmon users should grab the latest hobbitd/rrd/do_devmon.c source from http://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hobbitmon/branches/4.2.2/hobbit… and copy to hobbitd/rrd/do_devmon.c . This will be included in the final 4.2.2 release. Please test this if you can, and report problems to the mailing list. Since all of this code has been in use for quite some time, I would not expect a lot of problems. So the target date for the 4.2.2 release is Dec. 10. Regards, Henrik

unable to monitor nfs with BB extension script
by william.wagner＠ipacc.com 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

My xymon server is Solaris 10 running Xymon 4.2.3. I am in the process of migrating from BB to Xymon. I have a solaris 10 sparc client which is running both BB and Xymon clients. To prep Xymon for BB extension scripts, I first concatenated bbsys.local onto hobbitclient.cfg. Next I installed the BB extension script *bb-nfs-client.sh*. It erroneously reports "No NFS filesystems currently mounted on ftp01" under the Xymon client. The same script works correctly under the BB client. I ran the script in debug mode. It correctly populates PINGEDHOSTS and NFSHOST. However it ends as: + /usr/xpg4/bin/egrep -vi (No such file|not a block device) /export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSOUT.8354.err STj + /usr/bin/mv -f /export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSOUT.8354.err~ /export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSOUT.8354.err + [ -s /export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSOUT.8354.err ] + [ -s /export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSERR.8354 ] + [ green = green ] STATUS=status <xxx>.nfs green Fri Aug 21 09:59:09 CDT 2009 - NFS mounts on ftp01 OK + [ -s /export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSOUT.8354 ] + [ = -a = ] LINE=No NFS filesystems currently mounted on <xxx> + /export/home/xymon/client/bin/bb 10.80.6.50 status <xxx>.nfs green Fri Aug 21 09:59:09 CDT 2009 - NFS mounts on ftp01 OK No NFS filesystems currently mounted on <xxx> What else do I need to do to get this script working properly under Xymon? thanks

Folders RRD info
by hballinger＠heritage-healthcare.com 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

I am writing a new ext called "folders" that will provide a check to see that folders do not exceed a certain size. For example, it will check the folders that contain each user's personal network drive, list them all with their sizes, and indicate any that are over the limit. I have this much worked out and think that I have the red, green, yellow parts of the script working properly. However, it would be even better if I could store the sizes of these folders within Hobbit/Xymon as data in RRD and have them graphed. How do I send the data to Hobbit in a format that it will understand as being RRD data and that will be tied to the "folders" test for this host?

[hobbit] firefox 3.5 problem with graph zoom display - ymon 4.2.2-RC1-2008.12.01

Did you try to apply the patch from http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2009/07/msg00274.html ? If the patch won't apply then you could add the "opacity:0.5;" manually to those two lines in web/hobbitgraph.c, they're easily found. hobbitgraph.c has very few changes from 4.2.0

DISK Problems... maybe a BUG?
by camorae＠googlemail.com 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hi, im monitoring the filesystems on an AIX 5.3 server with the hobbit-client 4.2.0... when i try to "configure" the DISK parameters for this client on in the hobbit-clients.cfg file (server side) it doesn't work... im trying to change the yellow / red status for one filesystem see below: HOST=testserver DISK /save IGNORE DISK /test/archiv 20 30 I also tried doing this: DISK %^/save* IGNORE --> this was mentioned in one old post as a solution for the IGNORE issues... but it doesn't work for me. The other issue with the non-standard threshold ( DISK /test/archiv 20 30 ) also is a big problem to me... I really don't know what im missing here... I tried many diferent parameters, but none worked. Can someone help me pls? Thx, Cayo

BBWin - Monitoring size of Exchange database files
by thomleavitt＠gmail.com 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

We have an ancient installation of Exchange 5.5, which maxes out at a database size (combined between two files) of 16GB. Apparently, the native bbwin 0.12 client can't monitor these files, because they're always open. There's a BB script here, in VBS, which monitors Exchange files... http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=629 Not sure how to adapt this. Has anyone written anything similar, or done anything similar, that they could send me or point me to, that would let me monitor this stuff in Xymon? Thomas
