Issues after upgrade from 4.2.3 to 4.3.5
by skadz＠skadz.com 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hi All - I've been running hobbit/xymon for a long time, but I've finally just joined the list due to a number of issues after I upgraded from 4.2.3 to 4.3.5. I walked through and fixed all the file names and everything SEEMS ok, but am seeing a number of strange things: a) When I start up xymon, I don't get my previous state back. The xymond options have: --restart=/usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk --checkpoint-file=/usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk And the files has data: 8136 /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk But when I restart the server or service, I seem to lose all data and anything that has been disabled or acked is now once again back to it's starting state. b) I can't seem to add new machines. I add a machine to hosts.cfg and analysis.cfg and it shows up on the web page, but it never seems to actually receive any data. I've tried reloading the service, but that doesn't seem to help. I even tried something like: xymon localhost 'enable machine.company.com' But it did not help. I see on the Ghost client page that it seems to recognize the correlation as it has a candidate, but isn't doing anything. Do I need to do something different with this newer version to enable a machine instead of just adding it to the two files? c) Last issue is very similar to the previous issue. I removed a machine from the hosts.cfg file, then ran: xymon localhost 'drop machine.company.com' But when it didn't check in for an hour, it still seemingly went purple and sent out emails/pages. I did a reload on the service and this now seems to have stopped, but I don't think it should have happened in the first place. d) I get startup errors that don't seem to make a ton of sense: In xymonlaunch.log, I see: 2011-10-25 12:11:51 xymonlaunch starting 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Loading tasklist configuration from /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Cannot open directory 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Loading hostnames 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Cannot load host data 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Loading saved state 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk for restore 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Setting up signal handlers 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Setting up xymond channels 2011-10-25 12:11:51 Setting up logfiles As I said, I am seeing all of the hosts that I have in the system and have double checked the permissions and the xymon user can most definitely access all of the files, so why am I getting these errors? [xymon at vir5ob xymon]$ whoami xymon [xymon at vir5ob xymon]$ wc -l /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk 8136 /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk [xymon at vir5ob xymon]$ ls -als /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk 31756 -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 32474378 Oct 26 17:54 /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk I am also seeing: 2011-10-26 17:54:50 Cannot load host data in my xymond.log every 10 minutes. As I said, any files seem to be accessible as far as I can tell, but maybe since the error message is not very verbose, I am not looking in the right place. I know these probably all seem like newbie questions, but I have done all the debugging I seem to be able to do and can't figure anything out on these. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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.

Example of alerts.cfg
by skjoldar＠gmail.com 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hi Can anyone please give me an example of a more complicated alerts.cfg? I need to just see how the structure looks. I can't seem to get the group/page alerts working, not sure if you need to just specify PAGE= or PAGE= and HOST= both. I know there's just something I'm missing. Thanks
