Devmon on Xymon 4.3.2 - if_load and temp issue for all devmon hosts
by willowbrookmagic＠hotmail.com 24 May '11

24 May '11

I hope someone can help me. I set up a test server and installed xymon 4.3.2 and i didn't feel confident with upgrading so i moved all my content and custom configruations into the new test xymon 4.3.2 i got everything looking good on the test server and moved it over to production. i changed my httpd.conf devmon.cfg (BBHOST= /xymon/server/etc/host.cfg)and copied over the /data directory to the never version and started xymon and devmon. i got everything working but having issues with specific devmon graphs. cpu memory and tcp are graphing but no if_load or temp for any host using devmon is graphing. all other graphing is working. This is the last thing from holding me up from moving this into production. Nick

xymon4.3.2 and vmware
by jkokino＠gmail.com 23 May '11

Hi I think it would be great that Henrik or someone else puts up a blank virtual machine with snmp support preconfigured of the latest stable Xymon e.g. xymon4.3.2 and vmware. It can be CentOS, Fedora or anyother Linux based OS. This will help to make Xymon available to the general public and much easier to work with. I know there is Debian one available. Its too old 4.2.0. The troubling part is upgrading/updating Xymon to the latest, also risky for non-advanced users. For Henrik or others is a piece of cake. Henrik you can do it on a regular basis if you find this worth. Just my 2c Thanks

Xymon 4.3.2 http flapping with SSL error
by pmeech＠gmail.com 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi All, I seem to have a bit of a problem with a large amount of devices reporting http flapping. I am monitoring in hosts.cfg https://[ip_address]:444. The SSL column always remains green, but the http column flaps with the status message: https://[ip_address]:444/ - SSL error Seconds: 5.08 Is there anyway the time that the http test awaits a response for can be increased, or is there any other way to prevent the flapping/red status? I have 90 such devices that consume a lot of RAM and the CPU regularly goes up to 90%+ (I collect SNMP stats via devmon so the flapping here can be controlled with thresholds). I presume this is why the http response can be slow, though it would normally return in 8s. Hence the question, can the http reponse time to Xymon be increased? Cheers, Phil

Hobbitd crashing

I was playing around with hobbit-clients.cfg file trying to create a LOG rule to ignore this alert: May 21 00:54:21 redirect1-bo3.dl2.example.com monit[2029]: [ID 111343 daemon.error] 'gmond-sample.xml' timestamp test failed for /usr/local/Ganglia/logs/gmond-sample.xml I **think the rule that put it into conniptions was HOST=%redirect.*bo3.dl2.example.com LOG /var/adm/messages COLOR=yellow IGNORE=%(repeated|gmond|monit|puppetd) Also, I am experiencing something I've seen a few other times this week - a service that is not reporting, that was signed out, stays blue even when signed back in. I can't get rid of the xymond_client blue. Where is blue status stored? (it does not appear as blue on the enable/disable page but I have a blue dot on the host page and a blue report when I drill in) [xymon at netmon2 server]$ gdb bin/hobbitd_client tmp/core.24453 GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux (7.0.1-23.el5_5.2) Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Hi All, I configured KPIs in client side. My poling Interval is 120 minutes. In "clientlaunch.cfg" file I had given “INTERVAL 120m”. But every 30 minutes KPI color got changed into “purple” color even there is no status change in the same KPI. Kindly let me know how I can resolve the problem. With Regards, Jayanta.

xymon 4.3.3 svcstatus
by icepickjazz＠gmail.com 22 May '11

22 May '11

I copied the svcstatus.c file from the 4.3.2 distro to the 4.3.3 and recompiled and resinstalled. svcstats works fine now. Need to figure out why 4.3.3 svcstatus.c is doesn't work.

xymon 4.3.3 svcstatus
by icepickjazz＠gmail.com 22 May '11

22 May '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.

Core dump in showgraph.cgi with very large "service" name
by jlaidman＠rebel-it.com.au 20 May '11

20 May '11

Hiya One more bug that I can't track down where to fix. If I go to a "showgraph" page and change the "service" value to something ludicrously large (2k or more), then showgraph.cgi dumps core. It happens at different places depending on the size of the value, so presumably there's a buffer being filled by different things, and one of them pushes it over the limit. Sorry I couldn't be more help on pinpointing the problem. Cheers Jeremy
