Clariion monitoring
by everett.vernon＠gmail.com 21 Sep '12

Hi all Has anybody done any work on monitoring an EMC Clariion system, that they are prepared to share? I have no idea what I need to monitor yet, and we have nothing in place at the moment, so anything is better than what I have now. All assistance appreciated.

jboss monitorin

Has anybody found a good way to monitor jboss servers? I have a bunch of jboss installations and need some way to monitor their performance. I checked Xymonton but couldn't find anything useful (the jmxstat project appears to be dead, at least the link leading to the download is dead). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Larry Barber

24/7 OnCall Tech Rotation Web App for XYMon
by sanderson＠CORNETSER.com 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Fellow Xymoners, I am interested in getting some information from the users of XYMon on who uses Digium SwitchVox or Asterisk as a PBX platform? The reason I ask is.. Some of you out there know me as Cubert, the developer of the BBWin GUI application freely available for the BBWin Client used on Windows systems to send data to the XYMon server. I am working on a new application that uses Switchvox as a notification medium for XYMon alarms and would like to see who else (how many) out there might use the same systems and would like to see a free application that will control your oncall tech rotations and notifications? We currently have our Alpha.01 about ready for wide spread testing and will be releasing it under GPLv3 and could uses a few testers. Who uses Switchvox or Asterisk and would find calls for alarms as good notifications for alerts. Cubert Www.squidworks.net

Historical, but no actual status?
by Harald.Husemann＠materna.de 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hello Xymon-users, I hope someone can shed some light on this weird problem: I have a Hobbit server (Hobbit 4.2.0) monitoring a lot of clients without any problem. But, for some clients, I don't get an actual status for all columns reported by the agent, e.g. cpu, procs and msgs, only the net-based tests are showing up for these. When I call bb-hostsvc.sh for such a service, I get the usual error page ("status not available"). But, looking on the system, the clients send normal reports, I've snooped on the network layer and used the --dbghost parameter for hobbitd to get the report in tmp/ - to me, it seems to be okay, but it's still not shown. Even more weird, the RRD graphs for all these columns *are* present on the trends page, and I can get a historical status for each of them - but no actual... Any ideas? Thanks in advance, and have a nice hackin', Harald -- Harald Husemann Netzwerk- und Systemadministrator Operation Center (OC) MATERNA GmbH Information & Communications Westfalendamm 98 44141 Dortmund Geschäftsführer: Dr. Winfried Materna, Helmut an de Meulen, Ralph Hartwig Amtsgericht Dortmund HRB 5839 Tel: +49 231 9505 222 Fax: +49 231 9505 100 www.annyway.com <http://www.annyway.com/> www.materna.com <http://www.materna.com/>
