SVCS in analysis.cfg
by lebarber＠gmail.com 08 Nov '12

It seems that the man page for the SVCS entries in analysis.cfg is incomplete. In particular it doesn't show how to set the color, does anybody here know how to do that? Thanks, Larry Barber

trimhistory Oops
by novosirj＠umdnj.edu 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hey all, Xymon 4.2.3 here. I think I know the answer to this, but if I did trimhistory with the wrong cutoff date (which I did). I have a backup to restore -- do I need to just restore the $XYMONDIR/data/hist directory? I didn't use any other flags. =R -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Sr. Systems Programmer |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novosirj at umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/EI-Academic Svcs. - ADMC 450, Newark

Xymonproxy on HA setup
by olivier＠audry.fr 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

hello here my setup : server1 and server2 share a fs (gfs, drbd what you want) so we have the xymon data replicated on both device at anytime. HA hold the vip on the server1. The server1 run xymon and all your monitoring tools. If the server1 goes down hw switch to server2 and run xymon on server2. And you don't need xymonproxy. hope that help oau Le mercredi 07 novembre 2012 à 11:51 +0000, Heather Keen a écrit : > Can't do that, and we don't want to have a secondary xymon server > there as this will very much complicate our alerting process.

Xymonproxy on HA setup
by keenha＠gmail.com 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hi, I have a xymonproxy running on a HA platform - two servers running HA and providing virtual gateway IPs to a subnets beneath. The xymon clients talk to the xymonproxy on the virtual IPs, and thus the xymonproxy is only ever running on one of the HA servers at any time. My problem is, the xymonproxy reports two columns, xymonproxy and xymonnet, back to my main xymon server. And that's fine for the active HA server, but for the non active HA server those columns will go purple (assuming that the HA does at some point fail over, so both servers will have reported these columns at some time). Does anyone have any idea how can I either: a) stop these columns from being reported OR b) configure them not to go purple ?? Heather
