As indicated by the error, this may cause strange results. I'm not sure what your point is about the 0.0.0.0 ip. With no TESTIP tag, the ip will only be used if hostname lookup fails. And used or not used, you have four instances of the hostname in bb-hosts, which can give strange results. Or maybe I'm not reading your post correctly.

It works quite well with a external page alert script using the Mechanize perl module to submit a ticket via the web frontend with that you can limit for what a ticket should be raised in the hobbit-alerts.cfg HOST=foo SERVICE=conn,disk,meta,prtdiag SCRIPT /xymon/server/ext/page_alert/ticket.pl admins REPEAT=365d COLOR=yellow,red FORMAT=PLAIN my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $agent->get("http://bmc remedy ticket web form"); $agent -> field("Customer", "XYMONAPI"); $agent -> field("Subject", "BMSEIT XYMON: $BBCOLORLEVEL " . " $BBSVCNAME " . " $BBHOSTNAME " ); $agent -> field("InitialDescription", "$htmldata"); $agent -> field("host", "$BBHOSTNAME\n"); $agent -> field("ip", "$MACHIP\n"); $agent -> field("service", "$BBSVCNAME\n"); # submit the ticket $agent -> click('SUBMIT1'); my $ticket; # get the result of the submit my $result = $agent ->content; # check if ticket was submitted if ($result =~ m{Ticket Submission Successful}) { # get ticket number if ($result =~ m{Your ticket number for this request is <B>(INC\d+).</B>}) { $ticket = $1; } } else { print " ERROR: $result\n"; } #log ticket in page.log print " created:$ticket \n"; # acknowledge alert for 365 days with ticket information `$BB $BBPAGE "hobbitdack ${ACKCODE} 525600 ${ticket}"`; regards kai From: Minaz Khalife [mailto:Minaz.Khalife at neotel.co.za] Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 11:36 AM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: [xymon] Xymon Integration with Remedy Ticketing system Dear All, Has anybody integrated Remedy (Ticketing System) with Xymon.?

ignore certain things in a log file
by mmoldvan＠csc.com 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) you might need the line to match to first, then what you'd like to ignore afterward. Our ignore rules, which I believe work (notice the double quotes, the ?i is case insensitive): LOG /var/adm/messages \ %(?i)ERROR \ "IGNORE=%(?i)(nres_gethostbyaddr|simple bind failed - Invalid credentials|please upgrade FCSM|WARNING|NOTICE|fctl|FCSM|SRS Proxy|xrx8825tlh2|ImportAcsError|AcsError|File \{.*\}, error 2|No such file or directory|ViewMgr|Bad file format|Exec call for FormTek|cache_trif_image|UserQry|DESKTOP_EDMOSRV.STARTUP|Error Level: Informational|sshd.*Authentication failed for|DESKTOP_EDMOSRV.STARTUP.*local0.error|httpd.*(modsecurity|password))" Spaces are okay. For any rules you'd like to test, you can use the pcretool command (available on my CentOS box, maybe not in your environment). Syntax is as follows: -bash-3.2$ pcretest PCRE version 6.6 06-Feb-2006 re> /(corrupt label|wrong magic number)/ data> corrupt No match data> corrupt label 0: corrupt label 1: corrupt label data> wrong magic number 0: wrong magic number 1: wrong magic number Or for a case insensitive match: -bash-3.2$ pcretest PCRE version 6.6 06-Feb-2006 re> /(?i)(corrupt label|wrong magic number)/ data> Corrupt label 0: Corrupt label 1: Corrupt label data> corrupt label 0: corrupt label 1: corrupt label data> asdf No match data> WRONG MAGIC NUMBER 0: WRONG MAGIC NUMBER 1: WRONG MAGIC NUMBER data> wrong magic number 0: wrong magic number 1: wrong magic number Good luck, hope that helps, Matt.

Xymon Integration with Remedy Ticketing system
by Craig.Cook＠carquest.com 27 Aug '10

Take a look at bb-remedy.pl on deadcat. It uses a binary from remedy (I don't know if that binary is still available, it required a support contract to get it years ago). I integrated it with trouble ticket also on deadcat and it worked well. (worked with Big brother, will work in a similar way with Xymon) Craig
