Xymon Client Configuration Updates from Multiple Xymon Servers?
by james.lose＠twcable.com 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

If a Xymon client is configured to send status messages to multiple Xymon servers, is it possible that the client will receive configuration updates from more than one of the servers? ________________________________ This E-mail and any of its attachments may contain Time Warner Cable proprietary information, which is privileged, confidential, or subject to copyright belonging to Time Warner Cable.

But solving it is not quite as easy as one would expect. The problem is that when the PROC triggers a red status, Xymon knows that the rule was one that included a "GROUP=heather" setting. But when the recovery happens, it is because none of the rules in analysis.cfg triggered. So Xymon does not know that the green status is a recovery from a rule that contained the GROUP setting. There is some state lost here. To solve this, the xymond_alert module will have to keep track of the active alerts, and which GROUP settings triggered them. When the recovery happens, it will then use that list of groups that received the alert as the basis for sending out the recovered-notices. It can be solved, of course. Just don't be disappointed when you see 4.3.4 being released later today without a fix for this problem. Regards, Henrik

Xymon Client Configuration Updates from Multiple Xymon Servers?

I wonder if the order in which the Xymon servers are defined in the XYMSERVERS variable determines which server gets the last word regarding the clients config.

Yes. Look at the first two lines of the client config.

Graphed values divided 100 ?
by kconnell＠ryerson.ca 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

I found differences under the "la" section (which = cpu) between the hobbitgraphgraphs.cfg and graphs.cfg. I changed this (default): [la] TITLE CPU Load YAXIS Load DEF:avg=la.rrd:la:AVERAGE CDEF:la=avg,100,/ AREA:la#00CC00:CPU Load Average -u 1.0 GPRINT:la:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:la:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:la:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:la:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n To this (from my current 4.2.2 server): [la] TITLE CPU Load YAXIS Load DEF:avg=la.rrd:la:AVERAGE CDEF:la=avg,1,/ AREA:la#00CC00:CPU Load Average -u 100 GPRINT:la:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:la:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:la:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:la:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n That did the trick.....was a lucky guess.

Hi, Attached is a patch that allows users to customise the colour of the RRD graphs (default is black on white). To change colours (e.g. to white on black), add the following to xymonserver.cfg: RRDFONTCOLOR="#FFFFFF" RRDBACKCOLOR="#000000" Regards, Malcolm -- BBWin Development - The Windows client for Big Brother and Xymon http://bbwin.sourceforge.net http://xymon.sourceforge.net
