AIX df command problem
by sholmes42＠mac.com 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

I am having a problem similar to one recently posted, but this is on an AIX host and is caused (I think) by a problem in the way xymon does df on AIX. The xymon version is 4.2.3 and the AIX OS version is 3.5 (I think, I'm a Solaris Admin). Anyway, I can find no way to force the df on AIX to use POSIX formatting AND to report only local file systems. Even if I could, I don't think I can override what xymon uses for df since the comments in the hobbitclient.cfg file say that the envariable definition is only there for compatibility and it is not used. The problem is that an NFS mount file system line in the df output is being parsed wrong and the number in the usage column is being used for the percent used (Available) so that is a huge number. Not only that, again similar to the previous problem, the file system name is being picked up as the contents of the last 3 fields in the output line, i.e. it is not /mnt/tsmupdates (which is what it should be) but "3020485 50% /tsm/updates", which, of course, prevents me from effectively ignoring that file system. I've tried using DISK %.*/mnt/.* IGNORE and that doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions? We have a big red page where we shouldn't have.

IPv6 Support?
by Jason.Chambers＠geosoft.com 28 May '11

28 May '11

Has anyone looked at supporting IPv6 at this stage? IANA only has a little more than 150million addresses left that they can assign, and then the address pool is exhausted. Some are targeting March 2011 as the end date of IPv4 availability.

Alerts variables
by johan.sjoberg＠deltamanagement.se 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hi. I am trying to improve the html e-mail alert script a bit. I want the background to be blue if the cause of a recovery is a disable. Is there some variable sent to the alert script that indicates that a disable is the cause of a recovery, or do I have to create logic for this in the script, guessing based on the colors in the status message? /Johan

[xymon] Re: holes in trend graphs
by jlaidman＠rebel-it.com.au 06 May '11

06 May '11

Has anyone made progress with this? I have the exact same problem with no solution and nothing interesting in the logs. As soon as I disable caching on xymond_rrd, the gaps go away. However as soon as I did this, the graphs for "cpu load" and "users and processes" both stopped updating completely. All other trend graphs are perfect. None of the network tests had a problem, so this seems to be restricted to numbers coming from the xymon client as "client data". -----Original Message----- From: "Stewart, Tom L." <Tom.Stewart (at) landsend.com> Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 09:18:03 -0600 To: xymon (at) xymon.com Subject: [xymon] Re: holes in trend graphs I believe Henrik has found and fixed this issue, but I don't know if it is in the beta3 version.
