File Monitoring

I am trying to monitor a file, this file is located at /mnt/fs/test, however, when I configure it in client-local.cfg and analysis.cfg I still get the "No Files Checked" message with a clear status. Is there something I'm missing here? analysis.cfg: HOST=hostname.domain.com FILE /mnt/fs/test SIZE>1 COLOR=red client.local.cfg: HOST=hostname.domain.com file:/mnt/fs/test I have other entries, such as LOG configured under this host, and they work fine, but just this file test. Any help is appreciated, Jamison Maxwell

Use the group keyword. And please look at the man pages, or even read the comments in the files. Both questions you have put to the list this morning are very basic Xymon things.

Add a new header on xymon page

So are you wanting to monitor each port as a separate service or all on the ports page? Ports uses the `netstat` command to determine what ports are in use on the system, when the client data is sent to Xymon this is then controlled by the analysis.cfg (hobbit-clients.cfg) to determine which ports to look for and how many there should be (set to 0 so that it will alert if a port becomes active - e.g. we have this set for telnet as none of our servers should have telnet enabled). Or you can get the Xymon server to probe the client to check from a remote perspective if the ports/service are up and running (check the hosts.cfg/bb-hosts man page for a list of all of the built in tests you can use, or write your own extensions).

Debian/RHEL differentiation
by sholmes42＠mac.com 09 Jan '12

I would like to be able to have different files listed in client-local.cfg and hobbit-clients.cfg for two different flavors of Linux: Debian and Redhat. The client line in the client data from both servers names them as 'linux', however the [osversion] block, of course, is OS specific. Can this be done? Thanks, Steve

Xymon grouped page and cond additional yellow regex check
by florian.krauthan＠1und1.de 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Hi, I've developed 2 patches for my company. The grouped.patch creates a grouped.html which shows all non green Servers grouped by page. The regex.patch adds an extra check to have a regex for a yellow check (The delemiter is "||" without the quotes). This only applies if you have create a second regex. If not the behavior is the same as before. Example rules with and without the additional yellow regex: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX # cont=serviceName;http://XXX.XXX/check;^SUMMARY:.OK||^SUMMARY:.WARNING XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX # cont=serviceName;http://XXX.XXX/check;^SUMMARY:.OK Florian Krauthan -- Florian Krauthan Azubi 1&1 Internet AG - Technical Training Frankfurter Ring 115a · DE-80807 München Telefon: +49 89 14339 560 florian.krauthan at 1und1.de Amtsgericht Montabaur / HRB 6484 Vorstände: Henning Ahlert, Ralph Dommermuth, Matthias Ehrlich, Thomas Gottschlich, Robert Hoffmann, Markus Huhn, Hans-Henning Kettler, Dr. Oliver Mauss, Jan Oetjen Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Michael Scheeren
