Clients not loading custom client-local.cfg values

Greetings, We have a variety of servers in our environment which we¹re looking to monitor with Xymon. I¹ve recently built a Xymon server 4.3.7 and compiled some clients on our SUSE 9 machines. When running the clients they only seem to match the entries in the client-local.cfg file on the server for [linux] and not the custom entries which I created [suse-srvs]. I¹ve tried launching the client with with class=suse-srv but to no avail. I feel like I¹m missing something, can anyone give me some feedback? -- Thanks, Josh Bradley ----------------------------------------- This message is a PRIVATE communication.

conn-test on multihomed hosts: no graphing of resonse-time?
by thomas.eckert＠IT-Eckert.de 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hi Xymonians, hi Henrik, in my setup (xymon-4.3.7) the conn-check for multihomed hosts: conn={best,|worst,}IP1[,IP2...] does not graph the response-time of the additional IPs (IP1, IP2, ...). If this is a configuration-setting stop reading here; any hints to configure this correctly are appreciated. While latency-graphing for the additional IPs is not essential it's different from the behaviour of the other network-tests where the response/latency is graphed even if multiple target for the same test are specified (e.g. http-checks). My _guess_ would be that this is not supported as the multihomed-feature was added later and changing the rrd-file naming-scheme could cause trouble with existing installations of xymon. As there is currently a big rework of the xymonnet-module is going on and rev. 6969 just added the "conn="-feature I thought this might be a good time to change this _if_ it is desired at all. All the best Thomas -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- | IT-Beratung Eckert | Hartkirchweg 54 | fon: +49 (0)761/ 594 9898 | Thomas Eckert | 79111 Freiburg i.Br. | fax: +49 (0)761/ 594 9899 | | Germany | http://www.it-eckert.de/

problem blueing out many Xymon monitors
by arunas.bendikas＠gmail.com 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi all, I'm having problems when i try to blue out a lot (hundreds) of Xymon monitors. An authorised Xymon client sends four commands to blue out many monitors to one Xymon server (v4.2.3). This Xymon server propagates data to other two Xymon servers (3 IP's in BBDISPLAY) and bbgen updates all the pages with hosts being blued out. The problem is that few monitors still remain green/red but not blue! It seems to me the packets were not received or dropped by busy Xymon server. Maybe it's just too many control messages to handle and the packet queue, if there is one, is too short? Please advise. Thanks, Arunas

Master slave config question

Hi, I have xymon 4.3.7 running in a master slave configuration with the distribute module enabled. Enable/disable messages are being sent to the slave as expected. Is there a way to have acknowledgments also sent to the slave? Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl at rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123 at rogueind.com

bbd going intermittently red on a busy Xymon system
by arunas.bendikas＠gmail.com 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi all, I've got a few problems with my busy Xymon system (v4.2.3) on Solaris 10 and any help or ideas would be much appreciated. The bbd monitor intermittently goes red. To investigate it, I've tried getting a response from my proxy port (1984) every second for few hours using netcat. Strangely, noted that Xymon proxy does not respond sometimes for 10-30 seconds to the network probe requests. I assume the Xymon client packets queue up while the proxy doesn't respond and are not lost. BBgen reports we have 750 hosts and 8293 status messages, but the hardware resources are used only at 25% and the network doesn't seem to struggle at all. Also, it reports the average queue time is 0.725. Could anyone tell me more about bbd process, what config changes I can make to stop it going red? If you need more details or config output please let me know. Thanks, Arunas

Xymond and xymonnet quirks
by poppy.ben＠marshfieldclinic.org 02 May '12

02 May '12

After getting the latest Xymon 4.3.4 finally working on CentOS 6 64-bit, I'm seeing a few quirks that I'd appreciate some input on. First, under Xymonnet tests, it's alerting Yellow because the time spent is too long (over 300). The culprit is DNS tests executed taking over 340 itself.. Can anyone shed some light on this? I know I saw some other threads about putting in a --no-ares but I wanted to see if there was something else I might be missing before I change the functionality of the tests.. Next, under Xymond, I'm getting a ton of multiple statuses reports for CONN tests. I can't seem to find a clear archive of what would cause that other than having both IP's listed when you have 2 display servers.. Both servers reference each other as a client and in xymonserver.cfg..
