Xymon Graphs

Hi, I've written a quick addon to collect the temperature of each HDD in my system, and report the data back to Xymon like this: Fri Aug 24 02:33:11 EST 2012 Temp GOOD (27 degrees) sda : 27 sdb : 27 Also, hobbit is putting this data in to an RRD file called temp.rrd: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE rrd SYSTEM"http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/rrdtool.dtd">  <rrd> <version>0003</version> <step>300</step>  <lastupdate>1345738019</lastupdate>  <ds> <name> sda </name> <type> GAUGE </type> <minimal_heartbeat>600</minimal_heartbeat> <min>NaN</min> <max>NaN</max>  <last_ds>37</last_ds> <value>4.4030000000e+03</value> <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec> </ds> <ds> <name> sdb </name> <type> GAUGE </type> <minimal_heartbeat>600</minimal_heartbeat> <min>NaN</min> <max>NaN</max>  <last_ds>39</last_ds> <value>4.6410000000e+03</value> <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec> </ds> So it looks (to me) as though all that is working. I'm now trying to get the pretty graph to show up, here is my current definition which doesn't work: [temp] TITLE HDD Temperature YAXIS Degrees DEF:hda=temp.rrd:hda:AVERAGE DEF:hdb=temp.rrd:hdb:AVERAGE DEF:hdc=temp.rrd:hdc:AVERAGE DEF:hdd=temp.rrd:hdd:AVERAGE DEF:hde=temp.rrd:hde:AVERAGE DEF:sda=temp.rrd:sda:AVERAGE DEF:sdb=temp.rrd:sdb:AVERAGE DEF:sdc=temp.rrd:sdc:AVERAGE DEF:sdd=temp.rrd:sdd:AVERAGE DEF:sde=temp.rrd:sde:AVERAGE LINE2:hda#FF0000:hda LINE2:hdb#0000FF:hdb LINE2:hdc#00FF00:hdc LINE2:hdd#FFFF00:hdd LINE2:hde#FF00FF:hde COMMENT:\n GPRINT:hda:LAST:hda \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:hda:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:hda:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:hda:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:hdb:LAST:hdb \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:hdb:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:hdb:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:hdb:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:hdc:LAST:hdc \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:hdc:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:hdc:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:hdc:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:hdd:LAST:hdd \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:hdd:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:hdd:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:hdd:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:hde:LAST:hde \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:hde:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:hde:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:hde:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n I think the problem is that not every machine will have the same number of disks, nor will they have the same type of disk. Can anyone suggest how to re-write this so that it will work? Thanks, Adam -- Adam Goryachev Website Managers www.websitemanagers.com.au

Xymon 4.3.10 released - bugfixes and inode checks
by abs＠shadymint.com 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hi Henrik, We have just successfully rolled 4.3.10 out to a number of Solaris servers here, build went fine, but we have a modified xymonclient-sunos.sh which plays better with the many zones we have configured, critically, it counts memory properly inside a memory capped container. I'd like to submit this patch for consideration of the community for including in some future release. Thanks -- Andy

Strange Errors trying to Run xymongen
by Raymond.Reuter＠lvhn.org 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Not sure how this happened but I have a fully in production XYMON server running. Flawless trending and monitoring. I wanted to drop the memory column from the all nongreen page so I ran the command : ./xymongen --nongreen-ignorecolumns=memory This is the result 2012-08-16 16:19:55 Whoops ! Failed to send message (Connection failed) 2012-08-16 16:19:55 -> Could not connect to Xymon daemon at 10.1.73.154:1984 (Connection refused) 2012-08-16 16:19:55 -> Recipient '10.1.73.154', timeout 15 2012-08-16 16:19:55 -> 1st line: 'xymondboard fields=hostname,testname,color,flags,lastchange,logtime,validtime,acktime,disabletime,sender,cookie,line1,acklist' 2012-08-16 16:19:55 xymond status-board not available, code 5 2012-08-16 16:19:55 Failed to load current Xymon status, aborting page-update The issue is my xymon host is not 10.1.73.154 it is a completely different ip. Can anyone tell me how to change that ip? Not sure when it got in there somewhere and I have searched the entire file system for any file containing that entry and it returns nothing.

Solaris Xymon WWW index file missing
by Nick＠Pettefar.com 16 Aug '12

This is a standalone machine, both server and client I guess. Is there a different set-up required for that?

Solaris Xymon WWW index file missing

Someone has mixed two threads together. I have a problem on a standalone T2000, nothing to do with HP-UX. I think another Nick has a different seperate problem. Xymon is running on my box but there is no index.html or any other web file available.

okcolors,clear status and recovery message
by igor.berman＠takadu.com 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi, We are using clear color in our custom tests as a special marker, because of this we removed clear from okcolors from xymonserver.cfg, in intention to not get recovery mails when there is a transition from red->clear or yellow -> clear. However it doesn't work. Recovery messages are still sent on clear. In xymonserver.cfg: ALERTCOLORS="red,yellow,purple" # Colors that may trigger an alert message OKCOLORS="green,blue" # Colors that may trigger a recovery message Some details: Xymon version 4.3.7 alert.cfg rule HOST=* EXSERVICE=backend,backend_daemon,quartz_jobs,xymon_ext,xy_event,xy_watchdog,xy_queries,customer_data,cpu,disk RECOVERED MAIL=support at ....com COLOR=red REPEAT=8h MAIL=support at ....com COLOR=yellow REPEAT=8h We also disabled flapping status checks with [xymond] ENVFILE /home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg CMD xymond --flap-count=0 --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.pid \ --restart=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-file=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 \ --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.log \ --admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$XYMONSERVERIP \ --store-clientlogs=!msg In tasks.cfg Please advise how it could be solved or debugged Thanks in advance Igor
