Redirecting Xymon output
by Wes.Gorham＠corp.eastlink.ca 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hoping to get some assistance. We have 2 Xymon servers running but we would like to see all the output from server 1 integrated into server 2. Normally we would just enter the hosts from server 1 to server2's hosts-BB file but the latency between the 2 xymon servers is bad enough that we would like to continue running server1 onsite and just have the output redirected into server2's Xymon web interface. We have tried the "sending summaries to remote Xymon servers" option which works but only places the output summary in links to separate pages, not integrated into the main hobbit displays. Is there any way to do this? -Thanks

Dear all, I'm trying to blacklist some of my ethernet devices not to be checked by rrd, when xymon tries to get the statistics. The bad ethernet devices show the following error:

*nix xymon client directories size (DU change is possible?)
by soopal＠ice.go.cr 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hi all: after reviewing the mailist archive and read the wiki...I came with one question.. AFAIK the DIR monitoring/track will use a DU on the xymon client (*nix ones). I need to monitor/track some directories on ZFS and they are Big. I mean 880GB or more. a simple du -sh or just du takes at least 45min. Of course; doing a zfs list pool/zfs gave me the same data that a du but almost instantaneously... So my question do I can override which command is used to DIR monitoring ? Or I must go with a script that do zfs list and push that data to rrd as independent test? To make things worst I have mixed UFS/ZFS structures, but just need to monitor/track some of them.

Good friends, sorry I do not speak English. Take this opportunity to check the following: In the bb-host file put the host to be monitored as follows 10.70.202.5 server1 # conn cpu disk memory. But seeing the page, there are more columns like bbgen, bbd, bbtest, info and more. The question is how I can do to observe only the columns you want to monitor? I used the command bbgen but changes are not permanent. Sincerely, Jeison

Proxy issue
by Paul.Root＠qwest.com 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Hi, I have a proxy server that sends out to 3 servers, including itself (on port 1985). I have found that if one of the servers in the list is down, that any server in the list behind it does not get the update. I had the sitution of our main server crashing yesterday, and the proxy's 1985 port is designed to take over. However, since the primary was first in the list in the hobbit-launch.cfg line for the proxy, it just got stuck and wouldn't send to the other servers. Is there a way around this issue?

Extracting availability report data
by URMM＠VM.MARIST.EDU 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

I would like to make use of the data collected in the availability report for other things, so need to find a way to automate it. Right now, a person has to manually go to the reports tab, click on availability, supply the time frame, etc. Then down load the spreadsheet. I was just wondering if anyone else has already worked out an automated way to do this, so that the data could be pulled as a csv and processed by another program? Martha McConaghy Marist College

monitoring port
by David.Raymond＠ca.ebarrette.com 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hi, I try to monitoring remote port. In analysis.cfg, I have setup port I want to view. HOST=hosta PORT "REMOTE=10.0.0.2:21050" STATE=LISTEN (I change the address for security purpose) So I figure a new column should be there with the port up. But nothing append. I don't know if it's because "hosta" use bbwin or I just do a mistake on writing the config. Thx to help me. David Raymond
