Compact:

Hi All, Can anyone give me an example of how to use the "compact:" operator in hosts.cfg. Ideally I would like to have a column named "status" that contains the results of the "conn" and "http" columns. But every time I try and implement this and run xymongen I get an "Aborted" message. The --debug output isn't giving me many clues either. Would be really grateful if anyone could point me in right direction. Thanks, David

BUG: HOSTDOCURL in 4.3.5 makes links to groups as well as hosts
by Carl.Melgaard＠STAB.RM.DK 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi, Dont know if its a bug or a feature - but using the HOSTDOCURL in 4.3.5 - HOSTDOCURL="/wiki/%s" will not only generate links to all hosts but also all groups as well, which is somewhat undesirable, in my case at least. Could it be made a toggle? Regards, Carl Melgaard

xymon e-mail alerts show up as attachments instead of e-mail
by icepickjazz＠gmail.com 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Good day, We are running xymon 4.2.3 and are experiencing some particularities with e-mail alerts showing up as attachments like att00001.bin instead of the normal message. The problem is sporadic. For example windows server throws CPU alter. E-mail sent shows up as an attachment in the recipient e-mail. AIX servers throw cpu alerts don't experience this problem. Client shouldn't matter. Any tips for troubleshooting this issue? If we open the attachment in the editor it shows what should be in the body of the email.

rrd update after upgrade to 4.3.5
by olivier＠audry.fr 16 Sep '11

hello Do you have other RRD files that are being updated ? yes Anything showing in the rrd-status.log or rrd-data.log files ? no Have you upgraded clients or server or both ? just server Are only some client hosts being affected, or all or just one ? all client If you click on the "host data available" do you see valid entries for these things, such as "ps" output? yes Are they being updated ? yes oau ----- Mail original ----- De: "Jeremy Laidman" <jlaidman at rebel-it.com.au> À: "Olivier AUDRY" <olivier at audry.fr> Envoyé: Vendredi 16 Septembre 2011 12:01:51 Objet: Re: [Xymon] rrd update after upgrade to 4.3.5 after the upgrade from 4.3.3 to 4.3.5 the following rrd files are not upgraded anymore -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 20K Sep 15 19:09 clock.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 20K Sep 15 19:09 procs.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 20K Sep 15 19:09 la.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 20K Sep 15 19:09 users.rrd Do you have other RRD files that are being updated? Anything showing in the rrd-status.log or rrd-data.log files? What's common about these is that the details come from the host data of the remote systems. Have you upgraded clients or server or both? Are only some client hosts being affected, or all or just one? If you click on the "host data available" do you see valid entries for these things, such as "ps" output? Are they being updated? The xymon client logs might be worth a look. Cheers Jeremy

Double combo's - returning -1 - xymon 4.3.3
by wrichardson＠llbean.com 15 Sep '11

The older version of Xymon that I have running 4.3.0.0-beta2 has the same "&unknown" issue. Will let you know how 4.3.5 goes... -----Original Message----- From: Bill Richardson Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 9:58 AM To: David W Gore; xymon at xymon.com Subject: RE: [Xymon] Double combo's - returning -1 - xymon 4.3.3 I was doing some testing of this feature today and notice the same problem. I am testing with 4.3.3. Will be upgrading to 4.3.5 this week and will let you know what I find. If that doesn't work I have an older 4.3.0 that I can test on just to see if maybe something got broken along the way... This is the first time I have ever tested double level combos. -----Original Message----- From: xymon-bounces at xymon.com [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] On Behalf Of David W Gore Sent: Friday, July 29, 2011 3:17 PM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: Re: [Xymon] Double combo's - returning -1 - xymon 4.3.3 Does anyone out there using double leveled combos, combos of combos that work? If so perhaps you could share an example from your config that works? Thanks in advance, Here is the example from the man pages: ---- WebCluster.http = (Web1.http || Web2.http) AppSrvCluster.procs = (AppSrv1.conn && AppSrv1.procs) || (AppSrv2.conn && AppSrv2.procs) Customer.cluster = WebCluster.http && AppSrvCluster.procs The first line defines a new test, with hostname "WebCluster" and the columnname "http". It will be green if the http test on either the "Web1" or the "Web2" server is green. The second line defines a "procs" test for the "AppSrvCluster" host. Each of the AppSrv1 and AppSrv2 hosts is checked for "conn" (ping) and their "procs" test. On each host, both of these must be green, but the combined test is green if that condition is fulfilled on just one of the hosts. The third line uses the two first tests to build a "double combined" test, defining a test that shows the overall health of the system. ---- So in theory it should work? For reference we are using Xymon 4.3.3 on RedHat Linux Enterprise 5.7. ~David From: xymon-bounces at xymon.com [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] On Behalf Of Rager, Richard R (Rich) Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2011 19:02 To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: [Xymon] Double combo's - returning -1 - xymon 4.3.3 Hi, Anyone using double combo messages? I was following the man pages, which state they are possible, but my tests calculate "-1" and the color comes out $unknown. Thu Jun 30 18:43:24 2011 (iam.db&&gam.db) = (-1&&-1) = 1 &unknown iam.db &unknown gam.db Sample config from combo.cfg. I have changed hostnames to protect the innocent...combos based on the values returned by dbcheck.pl...our DB's are served on 4 node Oracle Grid clusters, which is why we have alias' for the DB, such as servername_dbname. Hostnames are defined in hosts.d as "0.0.0.0 gam # noconn nonongreen noproppurple:*" gam/iam/impact all defined the same in hosts. iam.db = (servername\_iam.audit && servername\_iam.conn && servername\_iam.extent && servername\_iam.info && servername\_iam.invobj && servername\_iam.locks && servername\_iam.rollback && servername\_iam.session && servername\_iam.tblspace && servername\_iam.trends && servername\_iam.uptime) gam.db = (servername\_gam.audit && servername\_gam.conn && servername\_gam.extent && servername\_gam.info && servername\_gam.invobj && servername\_gam.locks && servername\_gam.rollback && servername\_gam.session && servername\_gam.tblspace && servername\_gam.trends && servername\_gam.uptime) These two above work fine. They are single layer combo tests...All my single layer combo tests work. The double combo is this: impact.db = (iam.db && gam.db) - same with our without parenthesys...if I use single ampersand, color propogates up, but staus still shows &unknown. We have tried multiple combinations taking the combo down to barest form, and still get the errors (&unknown). Log doesn't really help... combostatus.log.1:21316 2011-06-30 03:58:03 Symbolic 'event.db&&gam.db&&iam.db&&jbpm.db' converted to '-1&&-1&&-1&&-1' I put the --debug on the cmd in tasks, and not logging much else helpful.
