Monitor host not shown on Xymon Display?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is there a way to monitor a host and not have it show up on the display machine? I'm fine with having it accessible via a direct URL, and I do need to send alerts for the "conn" test but I don't want it to show on the main display instance at all. I suppose an alernate pageset is an option, but are there any better?

FW: RRD Graph stopped graphing

Looks like I forget to reply all, so this did not hit the group. ________________________________________ From: Tim McCloskey Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2012 10:18 AM To: Michael Beatty Subject: RE: [Xymon] RRD Graph stopped graphing You probably need to recreate the rrd files based on your new interval. One easy way would be to stop the client, move the current 'testname.rrd' file to a backup location, then restart the client. You can later use rrdtool --dump (or whatever the syntax is, I don't recall) to look at the internals of the old and new files if you are interested. Regards, Tim ________________________________________ From: xymon-bounces at xymon.com [xymon-bounces at xymon.com] on behalf of Michael Beatty [Michael.Beatty at sherwin.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2012 9:42 AM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: [Xymon] RRD Graph stopped graphing I had two custom RRD graphs setup and running fine on client systems. The script that collects the data was running every minute. After I finished testing, I changed the frequency of the scripts on the clients to 1 hour in the clientlaunch.cfg file. When I did, the RRD graph stopped displaying data. It ran like this for a couple days. I changed clientlaunch.cfg back to 1 minute... and the graphs immediately started graphing again. Is there a minimum time frame that is needed, or something else that must be done? What am I missing? -- Michael Beatty _______________________________________________ Xymon mailing list Xymon at xymon.com http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon

Generate page with specific graphs for all hosts?
by Mike.Burger＠FreedomMortgage.com 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

I would like to have a page generated that shows the current (48 hours) view for the "vmstat" graphs for either a batch/group of servers or all servers. Basically, like the trends page for a particular server, but rather than have all of the disks, memory, io etc, just the current vmstat/cpu utilization view, with the same drill down options as are presented on the trends page. Is there a simple way to do this using xymongen/xymonweb?

How to scale-up using alternate page sets?
by David.Mills＠ngc.com 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

All - I have a client who wants us to construct a hierarchy of alternate page set pages in Xymon. If I am reading the documentation on alternate page sets correctly (man page for hosts.cfg) this is not possible "out of the box". You can't even make alternate page sets appear dynamically on "regular" pages (am I correct on this point?). Just in case I'm not being clear, the requirement is to have a collection of pages (alternate page sets), constructed into the usual hierarchy of navigation pages, with color-background and icon changes from the lower pages propagating up to the "root-level" page. Any thoughts on how I might approach this? david ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Mills Systems Administrator Northrop Grumman 512-595-1238 david.mills at ngc.com

Hi Mike, Our xymon-apache.conf is in /home/xymon/server/etc directory.

TS - Multiple servers had PURPLE ICONs
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

I just had multiple HPUX Virtual hosts and servers go PURPLE at the same time. HOSTS OF VIRTUALS: 8 VIRTUALS: 39 All of the hosts continued to answer a PING through the 20 minutes. The hosts stopped sending in ICON info for around 20 minutes from subnet 128.170.227.x All this traffic should be over port 1984. All of the *NIX admins were in training during this time. There were no reports of service interruption from the users. After ALERTING of the PURPLE status, the hosts then received the client info and went GREEN. None of the other Windows or *NIX servers had a problem. Has anyone experienced this before? I am running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS on Dell R-610 server.

Peer not up, flushing message queue

After recently migrating from virtual server to physical (xymon 4.3.10), I'm seeing the rrd-data.log and rrd-status.log filling up with the error "Peer not up, flushing message queue". and many "Trends" graphs with "NAN' values. Don't know how to fix this. -- Eric Jacobs Thomas Publishing Company Infrastructure and operations Information Technology Group Phone: 215-494-7312 Email: ejacobs at thomaspublishing.com
