Hi ! I need an hint how to integrate the xymonpdf http://www.trantor.org/xymonton/doku.php/reports:xymonpdf or other entries into the new xymon-menue .. ... > * Edit '$BBHOME/server/www/menu/menu_items.js' and add two lines in > 'Reports' section like those ones (I put my scripts into $BBHOME/server/www/pdf) : > > ['Analysis PDF', '/xymon/pdf/analysis.php'], > ['Reports PDF', '/xymon/pdf/pdf.php'] didn't work ... because the menue_items.js is missing :-) i've added an entry in xymonmenu.cfg <a class="inner" href="$BBSERVERWWWURL/pdf/pdf.php">PDF Report</a> but without success :-( thanks & cheers Martin

xymon e-mail alerts show up as attachments instead of e-mail
by icepickjazz＠gmail.com 29 Mar '13

Not a wild thought. Yes you are correct. I was getting ready to post my findings. We recently moved our xymon server from fedora core 3 to SLES 11. Fedora used mail and SLES 11 mail is linked to mailx. The windows clients are sending carriage returns in the status ^M (carriage return). The problem occured on SuSe server but not on redhat server, because mailx expects input text to be in Unix format, with lines separated by *newline*(^J, \n) characters only. Non-Unix text files that use *carriage return* (^M, \r) characters in addition will be treated as binary data. Hence the reason we get notifications that show up as attachments. Also explains why AIX servers don't have the problem and the windows servers do. Thanks On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 9:36 PM, Scott Pfister <icepickjazz at gmail.com>wrote: > Not a wild thought.

We've got a bunch of servers showing as "flapping". I understand that this is a new feature but haven't found the docs on how to tweak it. Where and how can this be changed? thanks Betsy

Xymond and xymonnet quirks
by poppy.ben＠marshfieldclinic.org 02 May '12

02 May '12

After getting the latest Xymon 4.3.4 finally working on CentOS 6 64-bit, I'm seeing a few quirks that I'd appreciate some input on. First, under Xymonnet tests, it's alerting Yellow because the time spent is too long (over 300). The culprit is DNS tests executed taking over 340 itself.. Can anyone shed some light on this? I know I saw some other threads about putting in a --no-ares but I wanted to see if there was something else I might be missing before I change the functionality of the tests.. Next, under Xymond, I'm getting a ton of multiple statuses reports for CONN tests. I can't seem to find a clear archive of what would cause that other than having both IP's listed when you have 2 display servers.. Both servers reference each other as a client and in xymonserver.cfg..

monitoring aggregated network traffic
by s.seitz＠netz-haut.de 24 Feb '12

Hi, thanks for your very helpful answer. It took me a few days to get back to that issue, so sorry for that late responose. I've added additional lines for outgoing, and it works as expected. I'm absolutely fine with hardcoed interfaces, cause I need the aggregated view of particular interfaces. Thanks again, Stephan Am Donnerstag, den 13.10.2011, 19:42 +0200 schrieb Henrik Størner: On 13-10-2011 16:44, netz-haut - stephan seitz wrote: > is there any "usual" way, to monitor and graph the traffic of a bulk > of network interfaces?

This can be done by creating an RRD graph definition to do the summation for you. In RRDtool, you first use one or more "DEF" lines to grab specific data items from one or more RRD files, and put them into some "variables". You can then either use these variables directly to make a line on the graph, or you can use them for calculating other variables via a "CDEF" line. The default ifstat graph has these lines: DEF:inbytes at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:bytesReceived:AVERAGE CDEF:in at RRDIDX@=inbytes at RRDIDX@,8,* (The @RRDIDX@ and @RRDFN@ are because this graph repeats over all the interfaces - Xymon replaces these with a number and the RRD filename). What this does is to first define a variable "inbytes at RRDIDX@" which has the "bytesReceived" value from the RRD. The it computes another variable, "in at RRDIDX@" as 8*inbytes - to convert from bytes to bits. The notation here is Reverse Polish (RPN). So if you have 4 RRD files, one for each interface, you can have RRDtool do the math for you like this: [ifsum] TITLE Network Traffic YAXIS Bits/second DEF:inbytes0=ifstat.eth0.rrd:bytesReceived:AVERAGE DEF:inbytes1=ifstat.eth1.rrd:bytesReceived:AVERAGE DEF:inbytes2=ifstat.eth2.rrd:bytesReceived:AVERAGE DEF:inbytes3=ifstat.eth3.rrd:bytesReceived:AVERAGE CDEF:intotal=inbytes0,inbytes1,inbytes2,inbytes3,+,+,+ CDEF:inbits=intotal,8,* LINE:inbits#FF0000:Aggregate inbound The "LINE" definition then uses the "inbits" value to draw a (red) line with this data. Have a look at graphs.cfg, and I'm sure you can figure out to add a line for the outgoing data also. Add "ifsum" to the GRAPHS setting in xymonserver.cfg, and the graph should show up on the "trends" page. Regards, Henrik PS: I haven't actually tested any of this, so feel free to provide corrections :-) _______________________________________________ Xymon mailing list Xymon at xymon.com http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon
