TS - Why does ACK fail sometimes?
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

I am running xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on a Dell R-610 on CentOS 5.5. When I try to ACK say a Disk Drive, the message is: Then I get: The Icon never changes from the RED face to the RED check mark. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Is there a patch for this problem? I have never had to patch the system over the last year and a half. I have noticed this on-and-off for the last year - after a reboot, the device can be ACKed. That is why I REBOOT every week. Other than this problem, I have not had any problems with the code - hope support continues. I am monitoring over 1,000 devices, including mibs on Cisco devices for cpu, temperature, fans, power supplies, memory, and system description. Using Net-SNMP for the mib walks.

CSS within xymon

Hello all, The below message was pulled from the xymon mailing list. Does anyone know if the code changes mentioned below were ever made available anywhere? Cheers Phil ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Taylor, Robert <Robert.Taylor at hendrickauto.com> Date: 5 July 2010 21:32 Subject: [hobbit] RE: Input needed from all of you. To: "hobbit at hswn.dk" <hobbit at hswn.dk> Here is a screenshot of mine. I've re-written nearly all of the code to base everything on CSS, created new images and replaced the menu. I was next going to undertake replacing the tables with DIVs, but that was a little more daunting especially since I know nothing about C. As it is, it took me a TON of trial and error, but I'm reasonably happy with the output. I did this last summer.

Hi All As we are in a planning stage I need YOUR help. One of the things we have on our hit list is the web interface(might be for a later release). Here is how you can help. Send me the resolutions of the screen you most commonly use to view your Xymon pages. This information will help greatly with the development going further.

Can Hobbit detect when a RAID disk fails on a Windows box? If so, how does it show up? Thanks, Larry Barber

So you may show some free space but the xymon user can not use any of it. -- Bill Arlofski Reverse Polarity, LLC To unsubscribe from the xymon list, send an e-mail to xymon-unsubscribe at xymon.com

Hi, I didn't want to hijaak someone elses thread so creating a new one. If i understand the documentation correctly (regarding 'depends') 196.28.159.50 testswitch # 196.28.159.41 testcase1 # depends=(conn:testswitch/conn) Is the above syntax correct? When the testswitch is unplugged, testcase1 still goes red. What am i missing / what other information should i be proving? Cami

Clean and simple, Thanks Camelia -----Original Message----- From: Tim McCloskey [mailto:tm at freedom.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 2:29 PM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: [xymon] RE: setting up orasys alets If it's just the listener that can be done with a network test (don't even need that roacle stuff). Add this to your bb-hosts file: 10.10.10.100 hostname # oratns:1527 "DOWNTIME=*:*:2300:2330:Scheduled Downtime,0:*:0300:0310:Scheduled Downtime" Downtime is optional and syntax is from hobbit-4.2.0. Port 1527 can be changed to whatever you are running the listener on.
