AIX df command problem
by sholmes42＠mac.com 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

I am having a problem similar to one recently posted, but this is on an AIX host and is caused (I think) by a problem in the way xymon does df on AIX. The xymon version is 4.2.3 and the AIX OS version is 3.5 (I think, I'm a Solaris Admin). Anyway, I can find no way to force the df on AIX to use POSIX formatting AND to report only local file systems. Even if I could, I don't think I can override what xymon uses for df since the comments in the hobbitclient.cfg file say that the envariable definition is only there for compatibility and it is not used. The problem is that an NFS mount file system line in the df output is being parsed wrong and the number in the usage column is being used for the percent used (Available) so that is a huge number. Not only that, again similar to the previous problem, the file system name is being picked up as the contents of the last 3 fields in the output line, i.e. it is not /mnt/tsmupdates (which is what it should be) but "3020485 50% /tsm/updates", which, of course, prevents me from effectively ignoring that file system. I've tried using DISK %.*/mnt/.* IGNORE and that doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions? We have a big red page where we shouldn't have.

IPv6 Support?
by Jason.Chambers＠geosoft.com 28 May '11

28 May '11

Has anyone looked at supporting IPv6 at this stage? IANA only has a little more than 150million addresses left that they can assign, and then the address pool is exhausted. Some are targeting March 2011 as the end date of IPv4 availability.

multiple graphs on one page
by joe.acquisto＠gmail.com 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

I've been digging for a while and cannot find how I can put two graphs on one page. Kind of like the trends page. While I see the --multigraph option, I am not certain this is what I want. Nor can I see how I could associate multiple graphs with a single page. Thanks.

Xymon server reporting to itself and another Xymon server
by shea4th＠comcast.net 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi All, I have two new Xymon servers A and B. All clients will send data to both servers excerpt from xymonclient.cfg: XYMSRV="0.0.0.0" # IP address of the Xymon server XYMSERVERS="serverA serverB" # IP of multiple Xymon servers. XYMSRV must be "0.0.0.0". No problem so far. I want serverA to be a client to itself and serverB and vice versa. Modifying the xymonclient.cfg file on the server sends the server (as a client), but also all the client data that reports to it. Xymond excerpt: Multi-source statuses clientA:conn reported by serverB and serverA clientB:conn reported by serverB and serverA clientC:conn reported by serverB and serverA ... Latest error messages: Flapping detected for clientA:conn - 5 changes in 620 seconds Flapping detected for clientB:conn - 5 changes in 620 seconds Flapping detected for clientB:conn - 5 changes in 620 seconds So obviously that's not the way to do it. Do I have to do anything with xymonproxy? I don't want to change all my clients. Thanks in advance Greg Shea EMC Corporation

Alternate view for Management
by hballinger＠heritage-healthcare.com 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Our support staff likes having our monitoring system setup & organized by logical category/type. However, management is more interested in a view that is organized by business impact. For example: IT Top Level View- Hosted Services Corporate Connectivity Corporate Servers Corporate Desktops Remote Laptops Facility Connectivity Facility Desktops Management Top Level View- Email (Subpage containing all dependent hosts/services) HRMS (same as above) Sales CRM i.e. a listing for each "service" provided - possibly even maintained below subpages for each business unit Management wants availability and impact by the specific service and business unit impacted (10,000 foot view showing all dependencies), while IT is interested in the detail of the cogs/gears that make it all work. Do I just create a second listing for all of the hosts on a separate page structure? Would this generate twice as many network tests for the hosts that are listed duplicate times? Any suggestions? Thanks!
