There is, but you must upgrade to 4.3.5 for it - the "DISPLAYGROUP" setting does that. Regards, Henrik

Would like to create a custom non-green screen

Bit late reply, but anyway: On Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:18:40 -0500, Scott Hanson <scerydog at gmail.com> wrote: > We are running xymon 4.2.3 on Solaris 10 within a data center of about 1000 > servers.

You need 4.3.x for that (or hack the web/hobbit-criticalview.c code to support that option). Regards, Henrik

XymonQV v0.2.0 with support for appfeed.sh
by darrik.lists＠darmasoft.com 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Greetings, Just pushed v0.2.0 with support for the appfeed.sh and appfeed-critical.sh targets that Henrik pushed last week. No support for filter= yet, but working on that. Wanted to get this to people who wanted to use it. This version will prefer the appfeed targets (if it finds them) regardless of version, unless you set the Force Parser setting. If it fails to find the appfeed targets, it will fall back to using html parsing. This release also contains a fix for connections not being created properly. As of now, there is debug logging available. If you have any sorts of problems, in addition to sending a crash report to the android market, please enable debug logging and refresh a few times or do whatever is necessary to demonstrate the problem. The debug log should be found at in your downloads folder as xymonqv_debug.log. Please email this file along with maybe a short description of the problem to android at darmasoft.com, and I will fix it asap. Also, feel free to send feature requests to android at darmasoft.com as well. Hope this is useful.

F5 monitoring script (WAS RE: Xymon vs Solarwinds)

I'm sure there is room for improvement as I'm not the world's best scripter, but it works well and has been 100% maintenance free for me since I put it in production. Basic instructions are in the top of the file. Make sure you satisfy all the dependencies and set all the environment variables before you run it the first time or it will fail badly. This was written for F5 software version 10.2; I don't have access to other versions so I'm not sure what if any other versions will work. There's a good chance that other versions should work though, they don't generally modify the MIB very much from version to version, and I don't rely too heavily on the MIB anyway except to translate the OIDS into something easier to read. As long as the top level of each part of the MIB stays the same (where I start doing snmpwalks) the rest should be OK. > > Feedback on how it's working for you, F5 software version, improvements, etc. would be appreciated. > > Waiting on permissions for the Xymonton page so I can post it. > > Scot Kreienkamp > skreien at la-z-boy.com > > Scot, Creating your account should have been sufficient to allow you to add your monitor to the monitor page. =G=

Alerts don't go out

After a planned reboot this morning xymon is no longer able to send alert messages The alert logfile is filled with the following messages: "send-mail: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for ::1 send-mail: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for ::1" Sending messages from the command line using sendemail.sh works. Operating system is openSuSe 11.3, x86_64, xymon version is 4.3.5, According to yast2 IPv6 is disabled. Any hints? Yours hjb

www.xymon.com now available via IPv6
by henrik＠hswn.dk 08 Nov '11

Hi, if any of you are connected via IPv6, then www.xymon.com and the mailing list server is now available directly through IPv6, at this easy-to-remember address: 2001:16d8:dda8:0:21c:c0ff:fec0:1875 You don't have to worry about that since DNS has also been updated, so it should all happen automatically. This also means I now have the ability to actually test some IPv6 code, so there is a much better chance of Xymon getting IPv6 support now. Regards, Henrik

minor bug report
by lebarber＠gmail.com 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

SuSE systems report uptime as being up "1 day" rather than "1 days" as other Linuxes do. This seems to cause Xymon to skip the trends graphing during the period from 24 to 48 hours after a machine has been rebooted. No big deal, but one of my administrators is rather anally retentive about that sort of thing, Sample from the top of "top" on a SuSE box: top - 08:15:59 up 1 day, 12:40, 0 users, load average: 0.48, 0.97, 0.84 Tasks: 57 total, 1 running, 56 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 5.0%us, 1.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 91.8%id, 1.6%wa, 0.1%hi, 0.2%si, 0.3%st Mem: 2047752k total, 2038620k used, 9132k free, 98792k buffers Swap: 514696k total, 488k used, 514208k free, 630832k cached Thanks, Larry Barber
