SMTP on multiple ports
by betsy.schwartz＠gmail.com 04 May '11

Can xymon smtp test on multiple ports out of the box? And if so is there a way to see which port is being requested? We've got a separate test defined in protocols.cfg and that works, but if the syntax were the same as for other network test, this should work also: 10.0.1.1 mailer.example.com # smtp smtp:8025 However I see only one test result with no port identified. Maybe protocols.cfg is just the way to do it, but the docs imply that network tests can take a port as a parameter)

FW: SMTP on multiple ports
by tm＠freedom.com 03 May '11

Hi, Without looking at the docs I think what you are seeing is a host entry getting parsed and picking up the first 'smtp' statement it sees. So, out of the box for an individual host entry with multiple smtp statements, probably no. Then again, it is an open source project, so 'out of the box' has a different meaning:) If you want to add your own tests it's fairly simple, but I don't think you can extend the single smtp gem with multiple ports on the same host. You can have tests with different host:port pairs or add a column with your own tests. Depends on if you want the screen to draw more gems horizontally, or increase the host count (vertically).

Hi All, Can XYMON having feature to check "User Experience". We are having different web based application, running in LINUX/Solaris server. Some time We observed all applications are showing running state but if we click any icon(inside our own application) the response time is too long/some-time not get the result also. Kindly let me know any feature is available in XYMON to track it out. With Thanks & Regards, Jayanta.

Help with new graph and rrd file
by tlewick＠tradebotsystems.com 03 May '11

03 May '11

I have a problem where I've set up a new graph definition, but the rrd file is not being generated. I'm running xymon 4.3.0.0-beta2, so it still uses the old hobbit file names in most places. I am comparing ntp vs ptp on a few servers. We've had the ntp setup for some time, and have been graphing that in the usual way in xymon. I setup the ptp graphs in the same way. Also, verified via bbcmd hobbit_channel -channel=status hobbit_capture -tests=ptp that the data is coming through. The only difference in setup is the ntp information is obtained from a script running on the xymon display server that queries each client while the ptp data is sent to the xymon server from a script running on each client. So push vs pull... Below are the relevant config file entries, again, ntp graphs work great, when I click on the ptp graph I get "opening ptp.rrd": No such file or directory hobbitserver.cfg TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk... ntp=ncv,ptp=ncv" GRAPHS="la,disk.... ntp,ptp" NCV_ntp="Offset:GAUGE,*:NONE" NCV_ptp="Offset:GAUGE,*:NONE" Hobbitgraph.cfg [ntp] TITLE NTP accuracy YAXIS Offset (ms) DEF:offset=ntp.rrd:Offset:AVERAGE LINE2:offset#FF0000:Offset (ms) COMMENT:\n GPRINT:offset:LAST: \: %6.3lf ms (cur)\n GPRINT:offset:MAX: \: %6.3lf ms (max)\n GPRINT:offset:MIN: \: %6.3lf ms (min)\n GPRINT:offset:AVERAGE: \: %6.3lf ms (avg)\n [ptp] TITLE PTP accuracy YAXIS Offset (us) DEF:offset=ptp.rrd:offset_Mean:AVERAGE LINE2:offset#FF0000:Offset (us) COMMENT:\n GPRINT:offset:LAST: \: %6.3lf us (cur)\n GPRINT:offset:MAX: \: %6.3lf us (max)\n GPRINT:offset:MIN: \: %6.3lf us (min)\n GPRINT:offset:AVERAGE: \: %6.3lf us (avg)\n Any help in determining why xymon is not creating a ptp.rrd file would be appreciated.

03 May '11

Hi all: I really like Xymon so ... I want to help by doing something like Xymon By Example page (as samba.org does) ... covering from basic to too many-times asked setups... this as complement to the demo site. I order to make this are there coding/presentation style guides/standards for xymon project? I'm talking about graphics format/size; fonts types, file size, compress on zip or tar, etc. Will wikibooks or sf.net wiki the publication site (if its accepted of course) my help? Any input or advie wellcome!

Xymon crashes
by dlubbe＠tmse.nl 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi all, I've got the following problem: I used to run Xymon 4.2.3 on FreeBSD (using the ports collection) and it worked fine. However, when I upgraded to 4.3.2, I got all sorts of weird behaviour, so I decided to start from scratch. So I uninstalled Xymon, deleted everyting related to it and then installed a fresh copy of Xymon 4.3.2 (also via the port-collection) The installation goes fine, but when I start it up, the html files aren't generated. It seems that xymond crashes for reasons I don't understand I did some digging and I see the following: xymonlaunch.log: 2011-04-09 23:39:33 xymonlaunch starting 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Loading tasklist configuration from /usr/local/www/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Cannot open directory ^T<C2> (<C6><B1> 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Loading hostnames 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Loading saved state 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/local/www/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk for restore 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Setting up signal handlers 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Setting up xymond channels 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Setting up logfiles 2011-04-09 23:39:38 Cannot open env file /usr/local/www/xymon/client/etc/xymonclient.cfg - No such file or directory 2011-04-09 23:39:39 Task xymond terminated by signal 6 2011-04-09 23:39:39 Loading hostnames 2011-04-09 23:39:39 Loading saved state 2011-04-09 23:39:39 Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/local/www/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk for restore 2011-04-09 23:39:39 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2011-04-09 23:39:39 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use) 2011-04-09 23:39:39 Task xymond terminated, status 1 2011-04-09 23:39:44 Loading hostnames 2011-04-09 23:39:44 Loading saved state 2011-04-09 23:39:44 Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/local/www/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk for restore 2011-04-09 23:39:44 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2011-04-09 23:39:44 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use) 2011-04-09 23:39:44 Task xymond terminated, status 1 2011-04-09 23:39:49 Loading hostnames 2011-04-09 23:39:49 Loading saved state 2011-04-09 23:39:49 Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/local/www/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk for restore 2011-04-09 23:39:49 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2011-04-09 23:39:49 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use) 2011-04-09 23:39:49 Task xymond terminated, status 1 2011-04-09 23:39:54 Loading hostnames 2011-04-09 23:39:54 Loading saved state 2011-04-09 23:39:54 Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/local/www/xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk for restore 2011-04-09 23:39:54 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2011-04-09 23:39:54 Setting up signal handlers 2011-04-09 23:39:54 Setting up xymond channels 2011-04-09 23:39:54 Setting up logfiles ..... xymond.log 2011-04-09 23:39:33 Setup complete 2011-04-09 23:39:54 Whoops !

advice/Best Practices for hobbit-clients.cfg
by soopal＠ice.go.cr 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hi all: I guess that many of us have mixed environment with*nix,windows,linux boxes. On my env I have CMT (cool thread) and monothread sparcs and x86 older and newer ones. So I'm trying to make my hobbit-clients.cfg easy-use/config/modify... So I use CLASS to group HW-like tests and HOST to specialize other ones. But I'm dealing with a strange behavior with this setup... When procs test runs; appears in red because both Windows and unix processes are seek on the host. So clearly I have a trouble here, since I don't like the EXHOST option to deal with exceptions to the DEFAULT entry ( I'm dealing with nearly 80 monitored hosts, between bare metals and Solaris Zones + VMware Machines and Virtual box) to put that on one line it's scary. I adding some parts of the file and If anybody want can put the entire one. ---parts of hobbit-clients.cfg HOST=hssftp01 (no specs added since the class have all what I need) CLASS=SZCSolSFTP UP 45m TIME=*:0000:2400 #alarmas rojas/amarillas en este intervalo 8x5+/24x7 PROC sshd 1 -1 yellow PROC in.ftpd 1 30 red PROC cron 1 -1 yellow PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]21)$" state=LISTEN TEXT=ftp MEMSWAP 25 55 MEMPHYS 99 101 MEMACT 90 98 LOAD 8 10 CLOCK 95 #DOWNTIME=*:1205:1210 #puede apagarse en ese rango (8x5+/24x7) debe ir en bb-hosts DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults.

Remind me how we setup the hook to acknowledge alerts via email on SUN Solaris. Did we put the call to the script in the users .forwarding file or do an alias hook in the sendmail config? Xymon docs only talk about procmail. Guess I could D/l BB and read those docs..... Kevin H.
