Preventing color change by time slot.

Hi all, We have a server on which we monitor certain processes, however, these processes are stopped and started every morning via a cron job. I'd like to prevent these flagging as red during this period but can't seem to find any way other than using the xymon command to put the system into maintenance for the duration of the restart. Has anyone found an alternative way of doing this?

Compact:
by dh＠prospectsoft.com 20 Sep '11

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

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
