subcolumns and display issue
by akshar.bhosale＠gmail.com 04 Oct '10

Hi, we have xymon4.2.2 and rhel 5.2 os. we have a server and 100 clients. We have 3 sub clusters and above bb-host file. Now our problem is that we have restriction on subcolumns argument to BBGENOPTS as this is common for all three subcluster pages..so if we want to add one extra test in one of the subcluster, we need to increase subcolumns aruments..e.g.all subclusters have 8 tests, so subcolumns=8, now if we want to configure one more test in subcluster2 only, how we should do that? because if we do subcolumns=9, all our display page will be disturbed as there are 8 tests for subcluster1 and 3 and 9 tests for subcluster2. So how to add or remove any service without disturbing the main display our hostfile is like: page rack001 Compute cluster title Compute Nodes subpage rack900 Row1-Rack6 conn group-only conn 172.29.1.49 node49.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.50 node50.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.51 node51.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.52 node52.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.53 node53.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.54 node54.mgmt.acc.in # subpage rack901 cpu group-only cpu 0.0.0.0 node49.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node50.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node51.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node52.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node53.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node54.mgmt.acc.in # noconn subpage rack904 ssh group-only ssh 0.0.0.0 node49.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node50.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node51.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node52.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node53.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node54.mgmt.acc.in # noconn subpage rack904 ssh group-only ssh 0.0.0.0 node49.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node50.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node51.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node52.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node53.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node54.mgmt.acc.in # noconn ....and so on ?

Looking for SLES rpm of xymon-client/hobbit-client
by kolbjorn.barmen＠uninett.no 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

I have a local admin at some institution that wants to install hobbit-client or xymon-client on his SLES machines, but he cannot find any rpms for it - I'm not too familiar with SLES/OpenSuse other than knowing it uses rpm and that there's something called "yast" and "you". :) I suppose there are people here who have packages ready somewhere? -- Kolbjørn Barmen UNINETT Driftsenter
