Compile on different system?
by lenz.simon＠googlemail.com 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Hello all! last week, i've installed a little webserver on my NAS (a mybook world 1TB white line). And everthing works perfectly:) Now i want to add xymon as a monitoring software on it. But my problem is, that i haven't got the gcc. (see a list of available packages: http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q1armel/cross/unstable/Packag… ) Is it possible to compile everything on my desktopPC (x86) and simply move it to the nas? I haven't compiled something personally in my life, so please be a bit tolerant;D PS: The NAS has an ARM architecture. It is linux based with busybox. greetings from germany Simon

Adding custom graphs
by joe.acquisto＠gmail.com 30 Dec '10

First attempt at a custom graph. Using hob*it 4.20, as we have "too much to do" to upgrade. I've managed to create the client scripts, gathered data, create the rrd files and the graph definition (this apparently incorrectly) but only see an icon with the text "hobbitgraph.ncv:mygraph_name" next to it. I see this on both column page I intend and also on trends page. So, I am not too far off, I guess. I am sure I've missed something obvious. Any hints?

Latest version

Dear All, after been away a while, I want to know which is the latest version of "xymon". I used to testinstall on HP-UX, but during the time I was away it passed away for me. Today I am using Ubuntu, have to have unix look-alike os. I found a version 4.4.0-1 on my old backups, but there are some bugs. Is there a newer version? -- Regards Lars Ebeling http://leopg9.no-ip.org Hobbithobbyist "I am not young enough to know everything." -- Oscar Wilde

Where can I find the new rrd definition for devmon. many thx oau

CPU, disk usage data
by Sridhar.Adapalli＠hhsc.state.tx.us 27 Dec '10

Hi I set up xymon on a linux server. However, I am not able to monitor the cpu and disk usage information. Here is what I did: - in the bb-hosts file, I have the following entry: ip address hostname - in the hobbitclients.cfg, I have the following entries: UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 ... Can you please let me know if there are additional entries I need to make to display cpu and disk usage? Thanks -- Sridhar

urlplus.pl / xymongrep
by hj.beckers＠kreis-steinfurt.de 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Hi, I'm trying to implement urlplus.pl with xymon 4.3.0-beta3. But urlplus.pl complains: "SSGIS01 not defined in bb-hosts - skipping". I'm using include-files for the server definitions. A grep shows a definition, a call to xymongrep shows no output: "xymon at linux-dmcl:~/server> grep -i urlplus etc/hosts* etc/hosts_Windows_Steinfurt:10.45.64.61 SSGIS01 # urlplus xymon at linux-dmcl:~/server> bin/xymongrep urlplus xymon at linux-dmcl:~/server> bin/xymongrep urlplus SSGIS01" Does xymongrep have a problem with include files (despite the man page saying otherwise) or do I need to correct some variables in urlplus.pl? Thanks hjb

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Was hoping someone could help me understand how these definitions in hobbit-clients.cfg: DISK %^/a IGNORE DISK %^/a/.* IGNORE ...excluded these filesystems in the disk test: njmsa/AppArchive 10G 8.2G 1.8G 83% /AppArchive /dev/md/dsk/d101 1.9G 1.3G 631M 68% /apps_marcy /dev/md/dsk/d103 1.9G 1.3G 476M 74% /apps What I'm trying to exclude are filesystems /a and /a/* (like /a/var, /a/usr, etc.). Hopefully someone's regex-fu is superior to mine.
