Remove Column/Test
by Nick＠Pettefar.com 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hi, we do not check for any ports, how do we remove the Ports column please? In the documentation (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon) it says: I don't want to display column foo in my display. How do I do that ? A. Add the entry NOCOLUMNS:foo,bar to hide column foo and bar. but it doesn't say where and it also mentions (in other answers) bb files that don't exist so I guess it is out of date. (Is there an uptodate version of this document t cover the latest Xymon?) Regards, Nick Pettefar

We've got a bunch of servers showing as "flapping". I understand that this is a new feature but haven't found the docs on how to tweak it. Where and how can this be changed? thanks Betsy

All non-green view and systems with an nopropred
by christian.becker＠rhein-zeitung.net 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hello out there, we are running 5 Xymon sites, and for one site we are in the need to use the "all non-green view". Unfortunately, on this particular site there are systems included that have a "NOPROPRED" or "NOPROPYELLOW" tag in the hosts.cfg. Is there a way to have a page similar to the "all non-green view" that excludes those hosts that have such a tag? So that really only those hosts are being displayed that have a real "red" or real "yellow" that has not a NOPROPRED or NOPROPYELLOW? Or can I configure the way hosts are being displayes on the "all non-green view"? I've looked into the mailing list archive but I couldn' find something that would match my needs.

But the underlying problem is that your host lvmpitg-sql02o.lvm93.cvf sends a status- or data-message with no data in it - not even a new-line after the first line. A better patch for this is attached, it handles all cases where there is a null message, not just the NCV case. Regards, Henrik
