Hi, Is there an easy way to synchronize xymon disabled status (servers put in maintenance) from 1 xymon server to another (a standby server)? /melgaard

Henrik> I assume the both monitor3 and monitor5 are running the network tests Henrik> (the [xymonnet] task), and they are the same version? Yes to both questions: [xymon at monitor5 ~]$ server/bin/xymoncmd xymonnet --version 2011-08-09 10:28:49 Using default environment file /home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg xymonnet version 4.3.2 SSL library : OpenSSL 0.9.8e-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 LDAP library: OpenLDAP 20343 [xymon at monitor5 ~]$ [xymon at monitor3 ~]$ server/bin/xymoncmd xymonnet --version 2011-08-09 10:27:51 Using default environment file /home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg xymonnet version 4.3.2 SSL library : OpenSSL 0.9.8e-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 LDAP library: OpenLDAP 20343 [xymon at monitor3 ~]$ Henrik> Could you provide the output from running Henrik> Henrik> xymoncmd xymonnet --no-update --debug camilla Henrik> Henrik> on the two Xymon servers when it fails ? Yes, I set up a test host (tesla) to simulate the problem (delay + bad HTTP status) that I had with the production host (camilla) and ran: [xymon at monitor3 ~]$ server/bin/xymoncmd xymonnet --no-update --debug tesla ...on both monitoring servers and attached the results and the '/home/xymon/data/hist/tesla' contents. The hosts.cfg entries are: 192.168.0.2 tesla # ssh http://tesla httpstatus=dbB;http://tesla/cgi/dbB.pl;200; httpstatus=dbC;http://tesla/cgi/dbC.pl;200; The only difference that I know of between the monitoring servers is that monitor5 has an 'analysis.cfg' with: HOST=tesla DS http %.*http.*:sec >0.660 COLOR=yellow TEXT="Time exceeds &U at &V seconds." With the above monitor5:analysis.cfg directive; the status is reported as yellow; without it is reported as red. It looks like the analysis.cfg entry causes Xymon to mask the red with the yellow. Any help understanding this would be appreciated. - Troy

Does anyone know if there is an image for Xymon so that I can run on AWS or the like? I only have shared access on my server and pretty sure I need root to install. Thanks!

httpstatus inconsistency

I have two servers (monitor5 and monitor3) running Xymon 4.3.2 that both have the same hosts.cfg entries for a particular host. The entry uses the httpstatus test and goes like this: 192.168.0.29 camilla # postgresql \ http://MyUrlA \ httpstatus=dbB;https://MyUrlB;200 \ httpstatus=dbC;https://MyUrlC;200 \ http://MyUrlD The strange thing, is that when dbC fails with a non 200.... on monitor3 dbC and http tests show red on monitor5 dbC shows red and http shows green Why do the two monitoring servers behave differently? Any idea where to look? thanks, Troy -- This communication is intended for the use of the recipient to whom it is addressed, and may contain confidential, personal, and or privileged information.

httpstatus inconsistency (yellow masks red)

I see another bit of evidence that my monitoring server masks red with yellow: In '/home/xymon/data/hist/ldap': ldap 1310510981 1310510371 610 re gr 2 ldap 1310510981 1310510981 0 ye re 1 ldap 1310512082 1310510981 1101 gr ye 1 The web page interprets the above as: Tue Jul 12 17:08:02 2011 green 17:59:36 Tue Jul 12 16:49:41 2011 yellow 0:18:21 Tue Jul 12 16:49:41 2011 red none Tue Jul 12 16:39:31 2011 green 0:10:10 The notifications sent out were: Tue Jul 12 16:55:07 2011 ldap.ldap (xx.xx.xx.xx) email at address[162] 1310511307 0 Tue Jul 12 17:08:02 2011 ldap.ldap (xx.xx.xx.xx) email at address[162] 1310512082 0 1101 (a yellow notification followed by a recovery notification) Being that the LDAP service was down (red) until 17:08 it looks like the yellow masked that fact. I am using Xymon 4.3.2. I will be very grateful for any ideas or confirmation of this behavior. cheers, Troy -- This communication is intended for the use of the recipient to whom it is addressed, and may contain confidential, personal, and or privileged information.

another issue after upgrading .. custom temperate monitor extension not recording proper history..
by tsztur＠gmail.com 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

I have a temperature sensor extension that does not get recorded in the "100 events received in the past 201 minutes" section any longer after running a test to change the status to red. The status icon turns RED and the page is sent however after the status goes back to normal (GREEN) the "Last 50 log entries" still goes GREEN for the last 4 days. This is the same page that turned RED. Also , the Current non-green Systems history shows nothing of the entry turning RED at all. All other systems seem to be recording except for these custom ones. any idea why? This is a temperature sensor and has a custom script (in the ./ext ).. however the sensor works fine however the history is not being recorded properly. any ideas?

upgraded from 4.3.0-beta to 4.3.4 .. [info] tab no longer works "internal server error"
by tsztur＠gmail.com 08 Aug '11

error_log says "Premature end of script headers: svcstatus.sh," the permissions seem fine. All other pages that call up svcstatus.sh seem to work except the Info tab. Any idea why?
