manually running custom script not changing the status

I have a script which runs after 24 hrs interval, if we get an alert we work on it and after resolving the issue I tried to run that custom script manually but it didnt change the status into green. I had to wait until its next run, i.e. after 24 hrs. How can I run the custom script before its next run time which will change the xymon status if the issue is resolved?

Custom check interval for different status of custom tests
by A.Chervonets＠cominder.eu 03 May '13

03 May '13

Is it possible to define different check interval for custom tests? for example, we check tablespaces space usage in database. For some tests we do not to check once per 5 min just because of performance impact of some complex requests. When status is green - we do check every 30 min. But if status is yellow and red - the DBA can make fix faster then in 30 min (or even situation can change faster) and it would nice to reflect correct status earlier then in 30 min. Is i possible now or may be it can be implemented in next release? Best regards, Andrey Chervonets ---------------------- SIA CoMinder http://www.cominder.eu/ mobile: +371 26517848

graph coming into DERIVE formant instead of GAUGE

I see $rrdtool dump IdAp.rrd|grep type is DERIVE and so no graphs is coming on browser. Below is the file configurations. client send the data in NCV format, eg. ApacheIdleThread: 50 xymonserver.cfg: - if_load=devmon,*IdAp=ncv*,temp=devmon,paging,mdc,mdchitpct,cics,dsa,getvis,maxuser,nparts,xymongen,xymonnet,xymonproxy,xymond" NCV_IdAp="ApacheIdleThread:GAUGE" graphs.cfg: - [IdAp] TITLE Apache Idlethrd info YAXIS Idlethreads DEF:ApacheIdleThread=IdAp.rrd:ApacheIdleThread:AVERAGE LINE1:ApacheIdleThread#44CCAA:ApacheIdleThread GPRINT:ApacheIdleThread:LAST:Idle Threads \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:ApacheIdleThread:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:ApacheIdleThread:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:ApacheIdleThread:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

Feature request: text-searchable trends page
by jlaidman＠rebel-it.com.au 02 May '13

Hi Because Xymon is so awesomely extensible, I now have dozens of graphs on the trends page for many of my servers. That makes it time-consuming to find what I'm looking for. The text in the graphs is not searchable, of course, but there's no actual text on the page. Would I'd really like is to have a text label next to each graph, so that I can do a browser search for the graph I'm looking for. Even better might be a graph index at the top, to click down to the desired graph. While it would be nice, the text string doesn't have to be the text from the graph, just something consistent and sensible, such as the "ALT" text (eg "disk" or "la") which is essentially the stanza name in graphs.cfg (eg [disk] and [la]).

Compiling a static linked xymon client for RHEL 6.x
by gjs＠sonnit.dk 02 May '13

Hi all I have searched the archives for a solution to this problem, but none of the discussed issues helped me with a final solution. My goal is to monitor an appliance which is based on RHEL 6.x and for that reason I have tried to build a static linked xymon-client on CentOS 6.4 The client compiles just fine when using dynamic linked libs, but when trying to compile a static linked with "CGLAGS = -static" in the Makefile it fails with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[1]: *** [test-endianness] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gjs/Downloads/xymon-4.3.10/lib' gmake: *** [lib-build] Error 2 Any wise ideas on how to proceed with this ? :) Best regards /Gorm
