TS - Disk alert percentages for Linux
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

I have Xymon running on CentOS 5.x. I need to bump up the DISK YELLOW RED percentages for the Xymon system only. I tried to edit the /home/xymon/client/etc/localclient.cfg file and changed the DEFAULT DISK to: DISK * 92 96 I believe this does it for ALL reporting clients? Not sure? Or is this the settings for JUST THIS CLIENT? Do I need to add some code above the DEFAULT with HOST=monitorp.csw.l-3co.com? Not sure where the correct place is to do it? On the Windows client it is in the XML configs or the BB client on the GUI. Thanks, Tom Schmitt Senior IT Staff - R&D L-3 Communication Systems West 640 North 2200 West P.O.

With the changes to Xymon/4.3.x (perhaps also to /4.3.x), the sge.sh script on Xymonton doesn't work. Has anyone played with it recently and gotten it updated? -- JONATHAN B.

alert acknowledgments

I'm running Xymon 4.3.0 and when an alert is acknowledged the acknowledge messages is always attributed to "UnknownUser" rather than the user that logged the message. Is anybody else having this problem, or aware of a fix for it? Thanks, Larry Barber

Footer/header and menu issue on html generated by CGI
by andreazampie＠yahoo.it 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Hi all, I found in the archive the problem described below, but I can't found the solution. Did someone found an work around to differentiated the CGI generation template by the xymon alternate pageset? The final objective is to have some indipendent alternate pages for a different users. And keep the Xymon server security disabling/modifing the menu generated from the CGI. N.B. I'm using Xymon version 4.2.3. Thanks in advance Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Footer/header issue on html generated by CGINicolas LIENARD (For Hobbit) nico at crysto.org Thu Nov 27 17:58:20 CET 2008 * Previous message: [hobbit] services just marked with "-" on some monitored hosts * Next message: Programs for monitoring JBOSS * Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] ________________________________ Hi, To sum up, i want to change header/footer for a special view in hobbit. But I got an issue on the html pages generated by cgi *only*. It works well for static html page. For this, i created a new view which is using other footer/header: [bbdisplay-newstyle] ENVFILE /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver-newstyle.cfg ENVAREA COLTONLINE NEEDS hobbitd GROUP generators CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS \ --pageset=newstyle \ $BBHOME/www/newstyle-set/ \ --template=newstyle \ --report \ --report=NEWSTYLE \ --ignorecolumns=mem,fw,fwcons,netstat,insight,ssh,ftp,timediff,vmstat,msgs,update \ --subpagecolumns=1 LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-newstyle.log INTERVAL 1m So, i modified ~hobbit/server/web/newstyle_header and newstyle_footer. -> that works fine. For the BODY, I modified hobbitserver-newstyle.cfg (MKBBACKFONT / MKBBCOLFONT / MKBBROWFONT / MKBBTITLE ). --> that works fine. My problem is when i m clicking on the ping check for instance: /hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=test-device&SERVICE=ping The footer/header used are differents, hobbit is using : ~hobbit/server/web/hostsvc_footer and header. So, i tried to see if in the shell script which call the cgi, there is some variables for footer/header /cgi-bin/bb-hostsvc.sh ------- . /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi-newstyle.cfg exec /opt/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitsvc.cgi $CGI_SVC_OPTS ------- I checked /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg default file, but there is nothing about footer/header. So, my question is : is there some hidden variables that i could add anywhere for linking differenty the footer/header of each CGI. Any trick is welcome. thanks !!! Regards, nicolas liénard

New graph display problems.
by KK1051＠att.com 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

I have created a new test in DEVMON and now have an issue with it not displaying the graphs in the status page. It is displaying fine in the trends page. In testing this I found that the only devmon test that is displaying in the status page is if_load. I am at work and as such am blocked from searching the archives to see if that has been answered already. Kevin H.

Clientlaunch ignoring INTERVAL, gaps in graphs, Failed to get a message
by skjoldar＠gmail.com 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Hi all. I'm having a funny issue on a custom graph. or multiples. xymon client 4.2.0 on HP-UX 11.11 I'm trying to get the compiler to run so i can upgrade to 4.3.2, but in the meantime i'm still having this issue. Having a custom graph or two in ext/<customgraph.sh> in clientlaunch.cfg is the following [diskstat] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/diskstat.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/diskstat.log INTERVAL 5m When I look at the graphs, there are gaps. When i do a ps I see multiple instances of the script internals. When i do time checks in the script, i see that the script is executed once every minute, telling that it is ignoring the INTERVAL 5m setting in clientlaunch.cfg Is there any particular known bugs I should be aware of? This also generates the message Failed to get a message, terminating, due to the status files being overwritten and mangled due to the process that takes 4 minutes to complete being started every minute. Any ideas?

Securing Pages
by ken.xymon＠minktech.com 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello All, I've been asked to create a hierarchy of pages with differing access rights. I was thinking of using the XYMONPAGEHTACCESS variable to add .htaccess files with page specific options. The problem I'm running into is that I can't convince xymongen to use multiline content from XYMONPAGEHTACCESS. Am I trying to use the variables correctly? I know I can put everything directly into the apache config, but I was looking for a more elegant/dynamic solution. Thanks, Ken
