is a bug or how to; LA on CMT (Sparc) hardware.
by rbadillarx＠gmail.com 18 Jan '12

Dear people: I'm facing a kind off weird issue with xymon 4.2.3, on T-series (Coolthread Machines) the Load Average can reach higher values of 1000 and the culprit value (where at this point the machine still works but refuses connections from any protocol at nic) is 2000. So I want to reflect that on load parameter at hobbit-clients.cfg file. Right now I have modified DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults. UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 LOAD 1000 1450 HOST=server1,server2,server3 (<---- for CMT Sparc hardware) After 30 min; a CMT is alerted (red face) with load=108.45. So my question is can I setup a LA on hobbit-clients.cfg above 100? Do I miss how to do it or is a bug/limitation on Xymon 4.2.3??? -- ---- *Randall E. Badilla Castro.*

Graphed values divided 100 ?
by kconnell＠ryerson.ca 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

I recently setup a new 4.3.7 Xymon box (my current production one is 4.2.2) and all my graphs seems to be "the value" divided by 100..... Ex:) my last poll for cpu on a particular router shows 18%, but the graph shows cur as 0.18%. The 4.2.2 server does not show this behavior and the templates that are used on the new server were are all copied over from the current production server.

by john.r.rothlisberger＠accenture.com 18 Jan '12

Has anyone created an external script for BBWin which would be able to check the modification date of a folder on a Windows server? I am looking for something similar to the FILE test where mtime<NNN but for a folder/directory.

Hi All , I am new to hobbit and Perl . We are looking at implementation the "dbcheck.pl" script for monitoring Oracle and SQL Server databases .I had few questions regarding the script * Is there any documentation available for the script ? * What does the following in the ini file mean ? How do I read it ? * valtocheck=2:10::>:1;2:0::>:1:SYS;2:100:50:<:1:TEST:=;2:50:100:>:1:TEST:! * What does the following mean and why does this setting not report SYSTEM table space * tb.SYSTEM = 101:101 # don't report SYSTEM tablespace problem for all databases * I felt the script to be cryptic and any help for understanding the code better at least from a basic troubleshooting perspective is greatly welcome Regards, Venkatesh **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).

Running the Availability Report from a crontab entry
by bewhite＠fellowes.com 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi all, I know I have seen some discussion on how to do this, but my searching the archive has come up with nothing. Can anyone provide an example of how I would run the Availability report from a crontab entry, so I could produce a report automatically the first of every month for the last month?

xymond messages
by lebarber＠gmail.com 17 Jan '12

I've been getting messages like this: Data flooding from xxx.xxx.94.22, closing connection in my xymond log. The IP address is my main xymon server. I am running xymonproxy on this server on port 1984, sending data both to port 1985 on the same server where xymond is listening and to my test/development box. Any idea what is causing it and/or how to fix it? Thanks, Larry Barber

I use the Perl script html_mail.pl on http://xymonton.org/alerts instead of the standard email, which allows me to customise the emails.
