Question about Combo test / hosts
by leen.smit＠vtspn.nl 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Dear All, I'm trying to get the combo test working.. At this point I do see the combo test on the status page, but when I try to get details about one of the tests I get a message "no such host" My question is.. What should the host name be, and where to configure it?? Should I send the host name from the client? Or should the host exists under that name in the hosts.cfg? Current setup: combo.cfg: GRN.Koppelingen = ( vnoasu4001.KoppelingenGRNA || vnobsu4002.KoppelingenGRNB ) hosts.cfg relevant lin: group-only |Koppelingen| 145.119.54.28 GRN # COMMENT:"Prod GRN" $ ./combostatus --no-update combo status GRN.blueview green Tue Jul 2 11:27:08 2013 (vnoasu4001.BlueviewA||vnobsu4002.BlueviewB) = (1||1) = 1 &clear <a href="/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=vnoasu4001&SERVICE=BlueviewA">vno asu4001.BlueviewA</a> &clear <a href="/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=vnobsu4002&SERVICE=BlueviewB">vno bsu4002.BlueviewB</a> On the client: TEST="KoppelingenGRNA" MACHINE="vnoasu4001.KoppelingenGRNA" LINE="status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date` Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Graphing problem
by dewelker＠gmail.com 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Maybe I have a unique problem, but I'm hoping someone can help me out as I have scoured the archives, tried all kinds of combinations, and still haven't found the perfect solution. Problem: I have a column that reports a list of system and user processes (my-conn). I have a script that gets the summary data into a file (counts) in NCV format. I would like to report the summary data as a graph on the same column as the list of systems and processes (my-conn) I initially had both my-conn and counts=ncv in my TEST2RRD variable, which allowed my graph to show up, but I was getting all kinds of DS errors with the my-conn rrd, even after making it type GAUGE. I also was sending status messages. I tried sending data messages, since I don't want a separate column displayed with the summary data, which didn't seem to help. Sometimes I get links on the page, or sometimes I get the graph on the trends page, but not the column page. I've tried all kinds of variation on the theme... TEST2RRD=counts=ncv, my-conn=counts TEST2RRD=counts, my-conn TEST2RRD=counts TEST2RRD=my-conn=ncv GRAPH=counts GRAPH=my-conn GRAPH=my-conn=ncv Bottom line, can this be done? If so, what should I be sending, and what should the variable values be? Thanks! David

Ifstat rrd file and graph missing for host
by Johan.Sjoberg＠deltamanagement.se 02 Jul '13

Hi. I noticed that the bits/sec graph is missing for one of our monitored hosts. All other graphs are fine. If I check the filesystem, the ifstat.eth0.rrd file is missing as well. What could cause this? Regards, Johan

pagegen.c: use fixed column width for system name
by wilbert.jeuken＠xperi.nl 01 Jul '13

Anyone.....? Van: Wilbert Jeuken Verzonden: donderdag 20 juni 2013 15:54 Aan: 'xymon at xymon.com' Onderwerp: pagegen.c: use fixed column width for system name Hello, I'm using one page to list all the managed systems, and would like to create a more homogenous look of that page. To this end, I've changed the pagegen.c code so that the generated tables are aligned on the left side of the screen. Now, I want to align the check icons so they all start at the same offset (as to avoid a "jumpy" page on which the check icons don't align nicely). I would like to do this by assigning a fixed width tot the column containing the system name (in my case, the NAME tag in de hostst.cfg). If this field has the same width for all systems, all check icons should also start at the same offset. I've been fiddling around in pagegen.c, but I can't figure out what to change to get the above mentioned layout. Can anybody point me in the right direction? kindest regards, Wilbert Jeuken

Feature Request ~ logfetch

I read logfetch.c and it seems comparing bufsz to MAXCHECK is performed always. Is it valid if the logsize setting in client-local.cfg was over MAXCHECK? In addition, I found a typo in line 251. 247: /* See if this is a trigger line */ 248: if (logdef->triggercount) { 249: int i, match = 0; 250: 251: for (i=0; ((i < logdef->ignorecount) && !match); i++) { "ignorecount" should be "triggercount".

http checks for multiple domains in the same server

I don't know which would be honoured, but having two might lead to confusion. If you're not sure that it's taking the tasks.d version, just add to tasks.cfg until you know it's working. If it doesn't appear to be running: 1) Look at the log file listed in the tasks.cfg config for [dnsreg], perhaps even change the logfilename to /var/log/xymon/dnsreg.log and see if the logfile gets created, and if anything interesting appears. 2) Change the command to something simple like "/usr/bin/date" and see if the output appears in your log, then work backwards. 3) Try running the command manually, from within "xymoncmd", after sourcing the environment. Something like this: $ /usr/lib/xymon/server/bin/xymoncmd $ . /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg [might show an error if you have an include line, just ignore] $ /usr/lib/xymon/server/ext/dnsreg See if this gives any output that shows problems. **** > > ** For the http checks.

In the case of the hosts.cfg entries (run by xymonnet) the status message (and thus the name of the dot on your Xymon display) is called "http". With my example script, I used "webchecks". Feel free to rename this in the script, but be sure to avoid a clash with any existing check names. You could use "http" for this if you wanted to, and remove all "http://" or "https://" checks from hosts.cfg so that xymonnet doesn't report http status messages. > **** > > **2. **And, If I remove the http check, where will it report the > status? > In the "webchecks" test.
