On some test that I do, I get this a the bottom (test\-antenne01.conn||test\-antenne02.conn) = (1||1) = 1 test-antenne01.conn test-antenne02.conn Errors occurred during evaluation: Could not access hobbitd board, error 0 Bbcombotest.cfg # Wireless Wireless.wrls = (test\-antenne01.conn || test\-antenne02.conn) Both connection are down for the moment, but still clear. Should be red. Someone have this issue also ?

hello I got a server A my central hobbit 4.2.0 server. I got a server B my local xymon 4.3.0 RC1 server running a xymon proxy on vip:1984 and running the real xymond on 127.0.0.1:1984. the xymonproxy config is : [xymonproxy] ENVFILE /opt/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver-proxy.cfg CMD $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonproxy --server=10.64.3.6,10.64.3.9,127.0.0.1 --report=$MACHINE.xymonproxy --no-daemon --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.pid --listen=$XYMONSERVERIP --log-details --debug LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.log from the central I'm querying the local with : /opt/hobbit/server/bin/bb local "query local.dm" The strange behavior is : if I got the server var in xymonproxy config with 127.0.0.1 in last param it's working. If not It's not working. Strange isn't it ? oau

Linux client broken output
by giel.boes＠rhodix.nl 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Dear, We are running Xymon on a Sun Fire v100 with Solaris 10 installed. On several Oracle systems with Oracle VM (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)) with 64 bit we are running Hobbit clients (FC5-hobbit-client-4.2.0-1.i386.rpm). The hobbit clients are 32 bit because those are the only wants we could find. Problem: sometimes several tests like procs/disk/cpu is giving weird values in the monitoring which makes Xymon red. However, everything is fine and after restarting the client or after next update (5 minutes default), Xymon becomes green again. Data size should not be the reason as I can see all the client data clear including a complete process list. It's just broken on the output page at the procs test. Do you have any clue what could be the reason for this? Thanks a lot. Kind regards, Giel Boes Rhodix System Manager

Hi, We would like to have no recovery message when status go from yellow to clear. OKCOLORS="green,blue" was set in xymonserver,cfg (using 4.3.0.beta3), but this does not work. Are we missing something? Dominique

I wonder if it would be possible on the All Non Green View to have instead of gifs how long the service has been in that state with the relevant colour. Thanks.

icon animation
by mmoldvan＠csc.com 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

If you right click on the image and select "Open image in new tab" you'll get the full name of the GIF your web browser is pointing to. Generally the gifs are in "/usr/lib64/xymon/server/www/gifs", but may be different in your Apache config. When you open the image in a new tab, does it flash (i.e. green-recent.gif for a flashing green)? If not, you can replace the file called green-recent.gif in the path above to change the image that is loaded by default. Hope that helps, Matt.

Network Bandwidth monitoring
by mike＠terrapintesting.com 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

I plan to incorporate my MRTG system into Xymon. I would like to know if I can have a "Red" alert appear when my bandwidth utilization of a particular interface exceeds a certain amount over the 5min interval? Is this possible? If so, can you point me in the right direction so I can research how to set it up? I have a DSL circuit I need to alert when it reaches the 500Kb upload rate. Thanks, Mike

Hi, It's not a big deal, but since a wild, the icon animation still static. For example, the red icon after 24h is just a big "x", no flashing. Anyway to put it back? David Raymond
