Windows 64bit Dell openmanage script

Hi, I got the old SystemCheck.vbs script from the repository and found a reference to make some changes for 64bit OS (2008 R2 here). The obvious one was the registry settings and are good, however the Memory and NICs tests don't produce the correct output (Memory is blank, and NICs are just comments). Note that I have not tested yet the physical and virtual storage ones. I briefly looked into the Memory test code and can't see any obvious reasons as to why it's not working. Does anyone have a more up to date script? Running OMSA 6.5.0 here. TIA... -- °((( = (( ===°°° ((( ================================================

I have gotten Xymon installed and can see the web pages. I have found that I can add servers to the hosts.cfg file and they will show up but I can't seem to separate them in page-->subpage. Also none of my links are working. Is there a blog or support page that I can go to and maybe find a other newbes that have gotten answers to basic questions answered?

Exclude certain hosts from Current non-green Systems - Global

Can this switch be used in the bb-hosts? I tried using it and no go. It still shows these hosts on the global page.

hobbit-alerts.cfg - Can HOST be within PAGE?
by Ed.Stuart＠austinenergy.com 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

In the hobbit-alerts.cfg file can a HOST line be withing a PAGE line to select particular hosts based on what page they are on? For example, if we want to mail alerts for all the servers on the SERVERS page that begin with the letters d or t and only the ones that are on the SERVERS page would the following entries work? PAGE=SERVERS HOST=%[dt].*\.ourdomain\.com MAIL $ADMINS SERVICE=disk,cpu,memory,procs DURATION>1h COLOR=red RECOVERED REPEAT=8h FORMAT=PLAIN TIME=W:700:1900 **Please apply a generous amount of all the usual disclaimers here.**

Sounds like a fun project! One thing to keep in mind is that some of us have custom tests that write HTML to Xymon as part of the status message. It is important not to break this.

http test question
by Alan.FORD＠stanwell.com 01 Nov '11

Hi, you can try using use the NKTIME tag in hosts.cfg to control this. Note these options will be dropped in Xymon 5. Alan From: xymon-bounces at xymon.com [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] On Behalf Of Taylor Lewick Sent: Tuesday, 1 November 2011 6:40 AM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: [Xymon] http test question Hi all. Is it possible to control the times an HTTP URL test is performed? I know I can add http://www.sample.com and use regexs to look for an occurrence of the word Fail, but we would only like it to check once or twice per day, say at 7:45 and then once more at 8:25. I know its easy to control the timing of when the alert is sent. But can I limit when the test is run? Short of creating an ext-script, not sure how I do that in xymon. Thanks, Taylor This email is to be read subject to the email disclaimer located at http://www.stanwell.com/email-disclaimer.aspx

Christian, There is no team. I believe it is Henrik and Henrik alone doing the development of the product itself. Others have stepped in to help document and support along the way.
