https monitoring

Hi All, Upon building a new instance of Xymon, i ran into a wierd issue which I've been troubleshooting for hours with no luck. I'm trying to monitor HTTPS on a few hosts. Without much luck, I looked around for an external/ public host running https: 91.189.89.234 shipit.ubuntu.com # https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ I got this wierd message: -------------- https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ - Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please Hint: *https://shipit.ubuntu.com/* Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at shipit.ubuntu.com Port 443 -------------- It doesnt make that much sense to me since i did build xymon with SSL support. Anyone got any ideas on how/where to go about troubleshooting this? I have a seperate instance of Xymon that is able to check HTTPS sites without any issue. Regards, Cami

Here is the patch as an attachment, if anyone is interested. It puts the same alertcode, that you receive in the subject of your hobbit alert, into the notifications log as well. we feed this log to splunk and it helps with our stat on total number of unique alerts per day -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

ackcode in log file
by vadud3＠gmail.com 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Does anyone know if any of the hobbit server log files contain the ackcode in it? I do not think it does by default. I could not find it in my limited query. I know SCRIPT has the ACKCODE. But I am asking if it is in any of the log file by default. If the answer is no, then what would it take to add the ackcode in notification log file ? I am guessing some code change on lib/notifylog.c 's do_notifylog function would be necessary along with some change in lib/notifylog.h.

Compile failure, Solaris 9 and Xymon 4.2.3

by linuxmasterjedi＠free.fr 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi, I'm using snapvault.pl since a couple of month and it works fine ;) Now, I would like to add exceptions. On the same filer : - snapvault from the FilerA should not be older then 48 hours - snapvault from FilerB are disabled : I don't want a red alarm - snapvault from FilerC are done once a week, Hobbit should switch to red if snapvault are older then 170h for example. Is there a way to update this script please :-P ?
