xymon 4.3.3 svcstatus
by icepickjazz＠gmail.com 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Both xymon 4.2.3 and xymon 4.3.2 run on my my mac without issue. I've been trying to get xymon 4.3.3 running, but I am having difficulties. The xymon 4.3.3 svcstatus cgi script is throwing apache errors: Premature end of script headers: svcstatus.sh, referer: http://localhost/xymon/xymon.html. I tried setting debug in the svstatus.sh by changing the script to exec /Users/hobbit/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi $CGI_SVC_OPTS --debug 2>&1 1>/tmp/cgi.log. Not much shows up in the log. http://localhost/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=mymac&SERVICE=xymongen returns the following: # more cgi.log 52417 2011-05-21 22:32:07 CGI: Request method='GET', data='HOST=mymac&SERVICE=xymongen' No core files to be found anywhere. Any thoughts on how to resolve the issue? I'm stumped.

Windows PS client svcs data missing
by SKreien＠la-z-boy.com 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Hi everyone, I've run into a problem with the Windows Powershell client intermittently omitting service data on Win2008. Here's the relevant parts of the client data file: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (build 7600) ---snip--- Persistent Routes: None [ifstat] fe80::619f:8c8:bf22:6ca5%11 2254617444 2999570366 10.100.1.211 2254617444 2999570366 ::1 0 0 127.0.0.1 0 0 [svcs] Name StartupType Status DisplayName [uptime] sec: 8168297 94 days 12 hours 58 minutes 17 seconds Bootup: 20110203213923.713291-360 [who] SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE ---snip--- As you can see, the svcs portion is empty. I already updated the client to the latest PS client files available and it still is happening. I'm not a programmer so I'm not sure how I can help troubleshoot this, but I'm willing to help in any way I can. Thanks!

Sorry for the long post, just trying to put all the information I think is relevant in one place! I believe I have Devmon all ready to go short of one example test. I copied the templates from SF and put them in the templates directory.

underscores and combo.cfg
by dbourque＠accuweather.com 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hi, I have lots of column names that contain underscores. I tried to use those tests in a combo test with very odd results. I have not seen anything in the documentation about underscores being an illegal character. Is that the case ? Example: combo.cfg -------------- servers.d2d_us = (server1.d2d_us || server2.d2d_us) that generates this on the status page. --------------------------------------------------- (server1.d2d_us||server2.d2d_us) = (1_0||1_0) = -1 [clear] server1.d2d [clear] us [clear] server2.d2d [clear] us Errors occurred during evaluation: compute((1_0||1_0)) returned error 4 compute((1_0||1_0)) returned error 4 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks -- Dan

Custom RRD Graph Issue
by s0a4m＠hotmail.com 30 May '11

30 May '11

Warning: I'm very new to RRD (and xymon). I followed the custom graphs how-to and tried to setup a custom graph with 3 items on it. The output of my ext script looks like: cpu: 35sda: 47sdb: 39 Everything seems to be working fine and RRD appears to be picking up the data, but my graph doesn't look right. At the bottom of the graph it is reporting correctly on all 3 values, but they just aren't graphing correctly. The first one, cpu is fine. sda appears to be graphing, but in the color for sdd. sdb doesn't graph at all. I'm not sure how to alter the example configuration for 3 lines instead of two, but I obviously didn't get it right. In graphs.cfg I have the following: [deg] TITLE Temperature YAXIS Celsius DEF:cpu=deg.rrd:cpu:AVERAGE DEF:sda=deg.rrd:sda:AVERAGE DEF:sdb=deg.rrd:sdb:AVERAGE LINE2:cpu#00FF00:cpu LINE2:sda#FF0000:sda LINE2:sda#0000FF:sdb COMMENT:\n GPRINT:cpu:LAST:cpu \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:cpu:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:cpu:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:cpu:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:sda:LAST:sda \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:sda:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:sda:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:sda:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:sdb:LAST:sdb \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:sdb:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:sdb:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:sdb:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n Any thoughts?

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.
