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.

change xymon server ip address
by massimiliano.angei＠akhela.com 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hi, We must change IP address of the xymon server. Once you change address is enough to change the occurrences of the old ip in the *. cfg files or we need to perform some particular action (ie reinstall?) regards, Massimiliano A.

Any fun ideas for generating regular reports?
by betsy.schwartz＠gmail.com 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Wondering if anyone's doing anything interesting with regular reports? For example, it would be useful to generate a monthly report showing the CPU utilization graph for a cluster (or, dream on, even a monthly report showing *highest* CPU...)

Question about xymonproxy
by greg.shea＠emc.com 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi all, Is it possible to use xymonproxy to forward statuses from one xymon server to another for a group of hosts and not all? It looks to me like all or nothing. I know the easiest thing would be to update the XYMSERVERS variable, but some of these servers are secured and the process to gain access would take forever. Any pointers would be appreciated Thanks Greg Shea EMC Corporation

Hi, Is there a way to get the latest Xymon-fixes into the official release? Or do I simply pull the latest svn trunk and go from there? Regards, Carl Melgaard

FW: Hobbit [485840] stnxym1:hobbitd_rrd CRITICAL (RED)
by Paul.Root＠qwest.com 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

So I'm getting the error message periodically. Maybe once every other day. Then the test goes purple. It started when I setup my second proxy. The 2 proxies send the same info (all the same clients) but get to the main server from different paths. I'm thinking I need to have one of the machines not send to the main server, unless it can't see the first proxy. Does that seem reasonable?

http tests column
by David.Raymond＠ca.ebarrette.com 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hi all, I have web server who is hosting some different web site like : http://srv-01/index.html http://srv-01:8081/test http://srv-01:50000/ In the column "http", those are all green, but I try to find if we can make those address clickable to see the page. Right now I do copy/paste, but a click should be better. Let me know if someone have any idea. David Raymond

Using the internal temperature status and graph
by jkincl1＠lsu.edu 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hi, So I wanted to graph a temperature monitor that is hooked up to a machine and I have the script sending the status as temperature so that I can take advantage of the graph definition that is shipped with xymon. We are using Xymon 4.3.0. I found in the source code how to format the status so that the xymon RRD library for temperature can read it and it is graphing but I am finding that the graph is missing quite a few values, it seems random and there are large holes in my graph where data did not get received. I am logging and the machine is sending the data and all of the other graphs for the machine are solid and contain all data points. Is this a documented bug? Am I doing something wrong? This seems to be an intermittent issue so I am not sure what is causing the problem. Thanks, -------------------- Jason Kincl
