Hi, Henrik Passing message without encryption among xymon client and server will cause concerns in corporate IT. I know you did some work at previous branches, can you activate this message encryption work or put it on roadmap ? Thanks tj -- T.J. Yang

Combo test - clear issue
by nicolas＠lienard.name 27 Oct '11

Hello On Hobbit 4.2.0, i did a COMBO test. Here the rule: 060-PRO-IPS.ALTA = (MAPPRO29W\-p1.cont\_IPS2 || MAPPRO29W\-p2.cont\_IPS2) && \ (MAPPRO29W\-p1.http || MAPPRO29W\-p2.http) && \ (MAPPRO36C\-p1.cont\_ipsalfresco || MAPPRO36C\-p2.cont\_ipsalfresco) && \ (MAPPRO36C\-p1.http || MAPPRO36C\-p2.http) && \ (MAPDB05.orarac || MAPDB06.orarac) && (MAPDB05.oraDB || MAPDB06.oraDB) && \ (MAPPRO34G\-p2.cont\_ppmptadmin) && \ (MAPMAIL01.ldap || MAPMAIL02.ldap) && (MAPMAIL01.smtp || MAPMAIL02.smtp) && MAPPRO29G\-p2.cont\_ipsgestion the result is strange, many checks are CLEAR instead of GREEN. I notice that the CLEAR are on HTTP/CONTENT and oraDB checks. LDAP, SMTP and oraRac are working well (green). oraDB is an external check performed by hobbit server. orarac is an external check performed by hobbit client. ldap smtp http are internal checks performed by hobbit server. there is no logic for me why one is clear and one is green :( Here the result on hobbit: Mon Oct 10 22:45:05 2011 (MAPPRO29W\-p1.cont\_IPS2&&MAPPRO29W\-p2.cont\_IPS2)&&(MAPPRO29W\-p1.http&&MAPPRO29W\-p2.http)&&(MAPPRO36C\-p1.cont\_ipsalfresco&&MAPPRO36C\-p2.cont\_ipsalfresco)&&(MAPPRO36C\-p1.http&&MAPPRO36C\-p2.http)&&(MAPDB05.oraDB&&MAPDB06.oraDB)&&(MAPDB05.orarac&&MAPDB06.orarac)&&(MAPMAIL01.ldap&&MAPMAIL02.ldap)&&(MAPMAIL01.smtp&&MAPMAIL02.smtp)&&MAPPRO29G\-p2.cont\_ipsgestion = (1&&1)&&(1&&1)&&(1&&1)&&(1&&1)&&(1&&1)&&(0&&0)&&(1&&1)&&(1&&1)&&1 = 0 clear MAPPRO29W-p1.cont_IPS2 clear MAPPRO29W-p2.cont_IPS2 clear MAPPRO29W-p1.http clear MAPPRO29W-p2.http clear MAPPRO36C-p1.cont_ipsalfresco clear MAPPRO36C-p2.cont_ipsalfresco clear MAPPRO36C-p1.http clear MAPPRO36C-p2.http clear MAPDB05.oraDB clear MAPDB06.oraDB red MAPDB05.orarac red MAPDB06.orarac green MAPMAIL01.ldap green MAPMAIL02.ldap green MAPMAIL01.smtp green MAPMAIL02.smtp clear MAPPRO29G-p2.cont_ipsgestion When i check manually the status, i can see there should be green: hobbit at cmsma-mn01 ~ $ bb 0 "query MAPPRO29G-p2.cont_ipsgestion" green Wed Oct 12 09:07:09 2011: Content OK hobbit at cmsma-mn01 ~ $ bb 0 "query MAPDB06.oraDB" green Wed Oct 12 09:08:30 CEST 2011 Is there a reason for that ? Did i miss something ? Any help is welcome. Cheers Nico

Has anyone used the older shell script on deadcat for the new version of open manager version 6 ?

Limit network interfaces trending
by colin.coe＠gmail.com 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hi all Around six months ago I was looking at limiting the number of network interfaces being trended on my RHEL hypervisors. These boxes have a number of bridges and interfaces. I'd like to see an option in the hosts.cfg file similar to x.y.z.133 hman # conn ssh TRENDS:*,disk,vmstat:vmstat1 DEVMON:model(compaq;servernohspare) x.y.z.134 hyper1 # conn ssh TRENDS:*,disk,vmstat:vmstat1DEVMON:model(compaq;servernohspare) INTERFACES:rhevm,eth9 x.y.z.135 hyper2 # conn ssh TRENDS:*,disk,vmstat:vmstat1 DEVMON:model(compaq;servernohspare) INTERFACES:rhevm,eth6 So the above would limit the interfaces being trended for hyper1 to just the rhevm bridge and the eth9 interface, and just the rhevm bridge and eth6 interface for hyper2. hman would continue to trend all interfaces as per normal. My motivation for this is so that I don't have to keep track of which hosts have custom xymonclient-linux.sh files. I'm running xymon 4.3.5. Henrik, is this feasible/possible? Looking at the source I see xymond/rrd/do_ifstat.c defines ifstat_linux_exprs as a static const. --- /* eth0 Link encap: */ /* RX bytes: 1829192 (265.8 MiB) TX bytes: 1827320 (187.7 MiB */ static const char *ifstat_linux_exprs[] = { "^([a-z]+[0123456789.:]+|lo)\\s", "^\\s+RX bytes:([0-9]+) .*TX bytes.([0-9]+) " }; --- My C fu is weak but I think this means that the regex defining acceptable interface names can't be changed. If I'm right, then I'm thinking that implementing this would be non-trivial. Comments? Thanks CC -- RHCE#805007969328369

This is you issue right here: Test engine setup completed 6680578.699260 385.373875 Do you have other software running on this server? I cannot think of any reason why it would take so long to have the setup completed.
