Difference In Columns Bewteen Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 < > Xymon 4.2.2?
by wiskbroom＠hotmail.com 11 Jan '10

Hello; I am running two versions of Xymon, 4.3.0-0.beta2 & 4.2.2. The newer, albeit "beta" version, shows fewer columns on its display versus the 4.2.2 version. The columns not shown under 4.3.0-0.beta2 are: bbd conn http ssh svcs Must I enable these somewhere? I am pretty certain that my bb-hosts file is the same on the new server as it is on the older one. Thank you, .vadim

HI all... I have a new xymon server build (4.3.0-0.beta2) and the main page is displaying properly but when I click on any of the columns to see the detail on any of the servers the graph just has a white box with a red x in it next to hourly graph or daily graph etc... and when I click on the magnifying glass it goes to a default browser error 500 page. Any thoughts?

[hobbit] Problems with MSG filter thorsten.erdmann to: hobbit 01/07/2010 02:26 AM Please respond to hobbit Hi I have some problems filtering entries from the msg test. I have several hosts, running SuSE which often produce the following messages in /var/log/messages: Jan 7 08:09:22 s068c320 ntpd[4944]: kernel time sync error 0001 The hosts are named s068c320, s068c321, s068c322, ... So I made the following entries in the hobbit-clients.cfg on the Hobbitserver, to filter out these messages: HOST=%s068c32* LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red IGNORE=ntpd It does not work. The messages come up as an error anyway. Here is my whole hobbit-clients.cfg HOST=s068310i DISK %^/platform.* IGNORE HOST=s068310b DISK %^/platform.* IGNORE HOST=s068a300 LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red IGNORE=%(smb_proc_readdir_long|peer) LOG %.* warning COLOR=yellow # DISK * 10 15 HOST=s068c327 DISK /mnt IGNORE HOST=%s068c32* LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red IGNORE=ntpd HOST=s068c320,s068c321,s068c322 PROC "lmgrd -c" 1 1 PROC "pam_lmd" 1 1 DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults.

ack's

I need a way to determine programmatically if a given host and test combination have been acked. The acktime field in hobbitdboard does not appear to work, it is always populated with a '0'. Is there another way of finding out what has been 'acked'? Thanks, Larry Barber

TS - Is there a setup for an HA pair of servers
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Is there documentation for setting up a High Availability (HA) pair of servers for xymon? I have a Dell R-series server (new) and a Dell 1850 server that I can use. I have created a SCRIPT and RSYNC between the two servers that the 1850 watches the R-series. If the R-series fails to answer, the 1850 will then get the files from the RSYNC directory (edit a few items), install the hobbit-alerts.cfg file and take over the primary responsibilities of alerting. Both systems currently have to watch over all devices - not efficient. I copy over the files from each server every hour - thus also having a backup of each servers special files. HA is the appropriate solution, is it possible? Is there a write-up on how to set it up? Thanks, Tom Schmitt Senior IT Staff - R&D L-3 Communication Systems West 640 North 2200 West P.O.

4.3 Beta 2 Link bb_footer
by rgordonjr＠gmail.com 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hello all - I've installed version 4.3 (Beta 2) from the sourceforge link and I am seeing that there are a large number of pages that are not only showing "link bb_footer" on them, they are also missing their menus... In searching through the archives I haven't been able to locate any fixes for this.. Has anyone seen this, and more importantly what needs to be done to fix it? Thanks! -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--
