Performance Counters On Windows.

Hi All As you might have noticed I have been working a bit on getting performance counter reporting into Xymon. I want to know the following from the list. 1) How many of you would use this? 2) What other performance counters would you like monitoring? If there is a real need for more counters I am more than willing to step up to the plate and help with scripts. Regards Neil

Breaking out msgs into multiple tests in Xymon
by mark.stoltzfus＠pmigroup.com 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Is there a supported way to break out file monitoring into multiple tests in Xymon? We have a situation where we need to send alerts for different logfiles to different teams from the same client. If not, how do other people do this? We've used bb-msgs.pl from deadcat in the past to accomplish this, but it was a bit buggy, so we're hoping for something supported (and current). Curious, Mark

Need syntax eyes on badtest entry
by hobbit＠epperson.homelinux.net 23 Jun '10

I'm trying to give a little resiliency to reporting on an Outlook Web Access server that intermittently returns bad https results without visibly disrupting user services. "badhttps" doesn't seem to be working for me. I have: xx.xxx.xx.xxx webmail.example.com # noconn noping https://webmail.vita.example.com/Exchweb/bin/auth/owalogon.asp badhttps:2:3:5 \ COMMENT:"external prod Shared E-mail Web Interface" IP and hostname are of course obfuscated. It's on two lines, as indicated by the "\". But it still appears to go red on a single https failure. Can anyone out there point out my error?

hobbit alerts as ATT0000*.BIN (or .DAT) attachments with no body
by tsztur＠gmail.com 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hello, So we have a custom alert setup to check for (temperature) changes within another file. It seems hobbit is sending out the alert only as a .bin (or .dat) attachment. from the archives, another user is having this problem: (it seems I cannot link the URL) but basically: "This is due to carriage returns not being stripped from certain alert output (like HTTP or CPU status from Windows machines). The 'mail' command does not know how to deal with this and will not send properly." this is happening for just a few alerts. is there another way of getting this fixed besides piping the alert through the mail command manually? I have had no luck doing this. I am also noticing this for other standard alerts also. Is there anything in the hobbit code or configuration that can be done about this? thanks Tom.

SNMP Trapping Question - What is Best Tool for the Job?
by wiskbroom＠hotmail.com 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hello; I've gotten devmon to work on my current Xymon setup; the only drawback in my opinion is lack of device support in devmon. I'd like to roll-out something else that would allow me to receive SNMP traps from a device, and send out alerts via Xymon. I'd also like to be able to use WeatherMap, and of course want to make the three of these work together as seamlessly as possible. Thank you all in advance, .vp
