Hi, I install xymon collector server and agent in the same machine. Apache server is running in the same server. Now I start collector server and agent both. After that I am trying to open web page with: http://19x.xxx.xxx.xxx/xymon/index.html I am getting following error: *Forbidden* You don't have permission to access /xymon/index.html on this server. ------------------------------ *Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Server at 19x.xxx.xxx.xxx Port 80* Kindly let me know how can I resolved this problem? With Regards, Jayanta.

List of graphs of a devmon test is too long
by Wim.Nelis＠nlr.nl 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hello, we are using xymon 4.3.7 and devmon 0.3.1-beta1, r233. Some of the devmon tests on interfaces of switches and routers use the rrd collector of xymon. Those tests contain thus both a table and additionally one graph per interface. However, for *each* test using the devmon rrd collector there are three additional pointers to non-existing graphs. The number of additional non-existing graphs is thus independent of the number of interfaces being monitored. The following is the page source of a test to check for packet drops on 3 interfaces of a router: <TR><TD ALIGN=LEFT><H3> Thu 2012.02.23 10:58:22</H3> <PRE> <b>Interface discards:</b> Input discard load alert thresholds: yellow=5.0%, red=10.0% Output discard load alert thresholds: yellow=5.0%, red=10.0% <table border=1 cellpadding=5> <tr><th>If name</th><th>Packet rate in</th> ... </tr> <tr><td>eth0</td><td>10.55</td> ... </tr> <tr><td>eth1</td><td>18.05</td> ... </tr> <tr><td>eth2</td><td>0.00</td> ... </tr> <tr><td>wlan0</td><td>4.37</td> ... </tr> </table>  Note: Discard rate: Number of discards per second Discard load: Number of discards per packet Devmon version 0.3.1-beta1-r233 running on sodn164u </PRE> </TD></TR></TABLE> <br><br> <table align="center" border=0 summary="Status report info"> <tr><td align="center"><font COLOR="#87a9e5" SIZE="-1">Status unchanged in 6 days,21 hours, 2 minutes<br> Status message received from 137.17.28.26<br> </font></td></tr> </table>  <table summary="devmon:if_dsc Graph"><tr><td><A HREF="/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=1&count=1 ... <view-source:http://xymon.nlr.nl/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=1&count=1&disp=AChinook%2dnet&nostale&color=green&graph_start=1329818379&graph_end=1329991179&action=menu></table> <table summary="devmon:if_dsc Graph"><tr><td><A HREF="/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=2&count=1 ... <view-source:http://xymon.nlr.nl/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=2&count=1&disp=AChinook%2dnet&nostale&color=green&graph_start=1329818379&graph_end=1329991179&action=menu></table> <table summary="devmon:if_dsc Graph"><tr><td><A HREF="/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=3&count=1 ... </table> <view-source:http://xymon.nlr.nl/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=3&count=1&disp=AChinook%2dnet&nostale&color=green&graph_start=1329818379&graph_end=1329991179&action=menu> <table summary="devmon:if_dsc Graph"><tr><td><A HREF="/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=4&count=1 ... <view-source:http://xymon.nlr.nl/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=4&count=1&disp=AChinook%2dnet&nostale&color=green&graph_start=1329818379&graph_end=1329991179&action=menu></table> <table summary="devmon:if_dsc Graph"><tr><td><A HREF="/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=5&count=1 ... <view-source:http://xymon.nlr.nl/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=5&count=1&disp=AChinook%2dnet&nostale&color=green&graph_start=1329818379&graph_end=1329991179&action=menu></table> <table summary="devmon:if_dsc Graph"><tr><td><A HREF="/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=6&count=1 ... </table> <view-source:http://xymon.nlr.nl/xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=nlrcve02-lan&service=devmon:if_dsc&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=6&count=1&disp=AChinook%2dnet&nostale&color=green&graph_start=1329818379&graph_end=1329991179&action=menu> The (very) long lines have been truncated, at the "...", to enhance the readability. In subdirectory ~xymon/data/rrd/nlrcve02-lan there are 3 RRDs, not 6. How xymon does determine the linecount, 6 in the example above, is not clear to me. However, it is the number of lines in the HTML comment section containing the RRD data, which is always 3 more than the number of interfaces. How can I configure xymon in such a way that the number of graphs matches the number of interfaces?

[hobbit] Help: No graphs in xymon
by t.koerfer＠gevasys.de 05 Mar '12

For me it looks like a bug (typo) in hobbitgraph.cgi I changed the "nostale" to "noscale" (because I saw it some where else) and it works. But it works also if you remove the "nostale" parameter ... b.r. T.K.

Hi all, I have been trying to modify the default look of the graphs generated by xymon without any success. I have tried to play with hobbitgraphs.cfg, changed few things but it sill does not want to generate better looking graphs. I have seen many nice graphs generated by RRD but can't make it work with xymon. Do anyone knows about any decent tutorial somewhere online? Many thanks. Oliver
