Problem with DISK IGNORE
by geoff.hallford＠gmail.com 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi All, Hoping someone can help with this issue. I am attempting to use the DISK drive IGNORE statement in the /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg file but I cannot get it to work. I have read the man pages and the previous posts in the list but none of them work. Here are the entries I have and the ones I have tried (note that the LOG entries work perfectly!): HOST=hostname.fake.com DISK /mnt/citrix IGNORE LOG /var/log/mrtg.log %ERROR:.* COLOR=red LOG /var/log/hobbit/citrixlicensing.log %mount:.* COLOR=red LOG /var/log/hobbit/kms.log %mount:.* COLOR=red LOG /var/log/hobbit/iorepl.log %mount:.* COLOR=red DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults. UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK * 90 95 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97 I have a couple of mounts under /mnt and I want to exclude them all but even stating just one exact mount doesn't work. Here are the many I have tried (each time restarting the hobbit server daemon and the hobbitclient daemon): DISK /mnt/citrix IGNORE DISK %^/mnt/citrix IGNORE DISK %^/mnt/citrix$ IGNORE DISK %^\/mnt\/citrix IGNORE DISK %^\/mnt\/citrix$ IGNORE DISK %^/mnt.*/ IGNORE DISK %^/mnt/.* IGNORE DISK %^/mnt.* IGNORE DISK %^\/mnt.* IGNORE DISK %^/mnt IGNORE DISK %^/mnt$ IGNORE Here are the mount points I have that I want to ignore: //server1/c$ 20481580 18329680 2151900 90% /mnt/citrix //server2/c$ 20481584 13885498 6596086 68% /mnt/citrixload //server3/c$ 31455236 10308200 21147036 33% /mnt/kms //server4/d$ 68918816 4486576 64432240 7% /mnt/faxcom Thanks!

bb-rep.sh & bb-snapshot.sh
by R.Biesbroek＠icts.utwente.nl 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

After debugging together with some colleagues, I found a solution for this problem. In the source code of report.c and snapshot.c (in the map ./web) there is a declaration in the main function: "char htmldelim[20];". In the same main function we can find: " sprintf(htmldelim, "xymonrep-%u-%u", (int)getpid(), (unsigned int)getcurrenttime(NULL));" Because the size of "char htmldelim[20];" is not sufficient enough (requires around 25 or so) this process will crash. I changed this char value into 100 and after a "make && make install" command the issue seems to be resolved!

All graph titles missing
by rrdansmith＠gmail.com 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

I just did a fresh install of 4.3.0-RC1 last night and copied over just my custom graph definitions from hobbitgraphs.cfg. The graph data itself looks great, and I am getting all of my original graphs. The problem is that I don't see anything in the title areas around the graphs. Has anybody seen anything like that? I am sure it's something I did in the upgrade, but I can't find anything like it in the docs. -dan

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.
