Well, there are two aspects to the bug: 1)Devmon should strip invalid characters out of interface names for the RRD data sent with the status message. 2)The Hobbit RRD collector module for devmon should not segfault if data is not in the format: <name_without_spaces> value[:value[:value]] Regards, Buchan

[hobbit] IPv6

The actual changes needed to "talk" IPv6 in the network service tests is probably not a whole lot; may real concern is going through all of the places throughout Xymon where the code assumes that an IP- address looks like "1.2.3.4". >This is starting to become a priority for me. I need to monitor my >ssh servers, but they all only respond now to ipv6, so I can't :-(. It is moving up on my priority list as well - it seems that IPv6 is (finally) seeing some real adoption. It won't be in the next version, but probably the one after that. Regards, Henrik

Xymon hosts database.
by david.peters＠dpi.nsw.gov.au 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

I think I have posted this quite a while ago but it is still on my mind. We currently configure the hosts, pages etc using a windows database and windows front end that I wrote quite some time ago. I keep getting the urge to convert it to a linux database and a web frontend. However I would not do this if there is no interest in using it. The point is that you never touch the bb-hosts file and all configuration of hosts and layouts is done via a user interface. Is there any interest in this? Is there anyone willing to help? If so I was going to convert to mysql and either php or perl cgi. Any comments on this? We have 400 odd hosts here and have pages split by priority, service, location, and support group all on the front page but all configured via the database. Currently the bb-hosts is built via a perl script that extracts the database and then generates a main bb-hosts file plus include files for each sub-page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Peters +61 2 63913565 +61 4 17863572 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.

Real network service tests
by brian.daly＠criticalpath.net 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

The Man page for hobbit states that : When checking websites, it is possible to not only check that the webserver is responding, but also that the response looks correct by matching the response against a pre-defined pattern or a checksum Can anybody tell me how to configure this? I want to run a http test on a webserver. If the webserver does not return the response I am expecting then alert me that something has changed on the server. regards Brian

"Pages Hosted Locally"
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Is there an easy way to change the phrases at the top of the main screens "Pages Hosted Locally" and "Subpages Hosted Locally" I would like to add the word "TEST" or "PROD" to the beginning to show they are on the Testing or Production system. Is there a way without having to re-compile the system? Thanks, Tom Schmitt Senior IT Staff - R&D

Running openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64). Client output that does not update the rrd: [top] top - 14:39:44 up 1 day, 4:40, 3 users, load average: 2.42, 2.88, 2.89 Client output that does update the rrd: [top] top - 14:42:51 up 40 days, 2:41, 3 users, load average: 4.19, 3.61, 3.10 The only difference I can see is "day" instead of "days".
