Hi Guys/Gals and other life forms. It's been a blast to be on the list with you people. I am starting a new job in the next year so will be unsubscribing from the list on this address for now. Just wanted to say thanks for all the help and advice I got from you all. As the Terminator said before he went and fetched Chuck Norris 'I'll be back' Regards Neil

Hello, I'm little ashamed to ask you this but I can't remember how to format the recipient string within the 'hobbit-alerts.cfg'. My main objective is to define something like this : MAILSYS=''admin1 at wat.tv admin2 at wat.tv ...'' HOST=* MAIL $MAILSYS REPEAT=60 Do you think it's possible to achieve this ? Do you have other idea ? Sincerly, ThomaS

Static vs Dynamic IP Address for Network Tests
by xymon.user.ml＠gmail.com 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

I'm using Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2. I have a server with a static address listed in bb-hosts as <static ip> <hostname>. The server was reconfigured to use DHCP and it acquired a new, different dynamic IP. I didn't make any changes to the bb-hosts file but xymon didn't seem to care the server's address had changed. It began testing the host with it's new IP address like nothing was different. Historical data is all there, no alarm was triggered. I understand the hostname correctly resolves to the new IP but I don't understand why xymon isn't trying to test the old static IP, and why it didn't give some indication the address had changed. It just so happens that I'm glad it went smooth but I expected to have to reconfigure the bb-hosts file; specifically, to change the <static ip> field for that host to 0.0.0.0. Can anyone explain this behavior, and how to get xymon to alert if a host with a static IP address has it's IP changed? Thanks

cluster executable on Windows 2008 R2 x64?
by Daniel.Nordquist＠orlandohealth.com 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hey all, Does anyone have a cluster.exe that works with Windows 2008 R2 x64? I can't get it to work with this OS and I'm assuming it's because Microsoft changed something since the cluster script was written.

Fresh SVN-install yields "link stdnormal_footer" on all subpages
by Carl.Melgaard＠STAB.RM.DK 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi, I just did a fresh SVN install of 4.3b3 (4.3.0-0.20101114.beta3) and on all my subpages I get the "link stdnormal_footer" written in plain-text. Seems like all the footer-files in the webfiles/web-directory contains that string - shouldn't they simply symlink to the stdnormal_footer file? Regards, Carl Melgaard

DNS error and Service bbd not OK: Service unavailable (connect timeout)

Either fix the DNS issue, or specify the IP-address to use for the http test with the > http://abixymon.mtncameroon.net=10.0.0.1/ syntax to override the DNS lookup. Eureka! Didn't know about the "=ip" syntax, so this post sent me to the manpage. This is perfect for our situation of Internet-facing virtual hosts with private addresses in the internal split DNS. Up to now, if a NAT failure occurred for one of these, we didn't necessarily know, because we were testing via the RFC1918 address. Couldn't use straight-IP URLs because of virtual host settings and rewrite rules.

How to suppress alerts when combo-testing?
by Carl.Melgaard＠STAB.RM.DK 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi, Im monitoring a cluster-setup, a/b-nodes + cluster ressource: 10.83.13.12 bskidmsrv001.bsk.rm.dk # COMMENT:"SLES11cluster-res" prefer 10.83.13.10 bskidmsrv001a.bsk.rm.dk # COMMENT:"SLES11a" ldap ldaps ntp ntpd badntp:1:3:3 prefer NOCOLUMNS:ldap,ldaps 10.83.13.11 bskidmsrv001b.bsk.rm.dk # COMMENT:"SLES11b" ldap ldaps ntp ntpd badntp:1:3:3 prefer NOCOLUMNS:ldap,ldaps ldap + ldaps will always be red on one of the nodes, so I've made a combotest to insert on the cluster-ressource: bskidmsrv001.bsk.rm.dk.ldap = ( bskidmsrv001a.bsk.rm.dk.ldap + bskidmsrv001b.bsk.rm.dk.ldap ) == 1 bskidmsrv001.bsk.rm.dk.ldaps = ( bskidmsrv001a.bsk.rm.dk.ldaps + bskidmsrv001b.bsk.rm.dk.ldaps ) == 1 This works on - the green status shows up on the cluster-resseource host - BUT I still get alerting on all the hidden red-tests, and I can still acknowledge all of the tests, I thought I hid away with NOCOLUMNS. How do I achieve this - ie. suppressing the red alerts on the nodes where ldap/ldaps is not running? Regards, Carl Melgaard

Hi Guys, I configured both XYMON client and server into our client side, it working fine. I want to monitor it into our offshore office(in different place). In our offshore office I configured XYMON server. I connected client side XYMON server to our offshore office XYMON server. But I am unable to get data from client side(XYMON server) to our offshore office XYMON server. Following errors are shown: 1. If I check bbd(Client side Collector Server) error is: Service bbd on abixymon.mtncameroon.net is not OK : Service unavailable (connect timeout) Seconds: 0.00 2. If I check http(Client side Collector Server) error is: http://abixymon.mtncameroon.net/ - DNS error Seconds: 0.00 Kindly provide me the solution for the same. With Regards, Jayanta.

patches for 4.3 beta release?
by tomg＠mcclatchyinteractive.com 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Are there any recommended patches or a patch set that I should apply to the 4.3 beta before I test it? I'm about to upgrade one of my xymon 4.2.3 installs to test the new beta and figured I'd ask. Tom
