creating custom graphs
by oogiejonz＠yahoo.com 11 Nov '14

I have some Solaris servers that I can't install the xymon binaries on so I'm going to try writing my own scripts to replicate the default xymon data. I successfully tested sending messages directly to port 1984 from my client to my xymon server, but I'm not clear on how data that is in graphs is sent/generated. For instance, if I wanted to generate a cpu graph, I can send the cpu values but I'm not sure what I would then need to do in order to generate the rrd graphs. Can anyone point me toward any documentation for this? thanks, EJ

If you have a custom script in ../local/ and it already throws data into the client message, you can retrieve it with the "clientlog" command: [root at rhel6-x86-64 /]# xymon localhost "clientlog rhel6-x86-64.build section=uptime" [uptime] 12:27:53 up 20 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.02 If you want to make individual use of the data, a client listener which, similar to xymond_client, takes client messages, evaluates with your own logic, and generates status messages for re-injection back into xymond, is your simplest bet. Alternatively, you can perform lots of clientlog queries and read data back in that way. HTH, -jc

What's the deal with 4.3.18? There still isn't an official tarball up on Sourceforge.

Hello I am trying to use Xymon client to get software information from the server its running on. For example, Java version, openssl version etc and also our custom application information. I can write a script in .../local and it shows up in the client data on the server but how to do I use it. I would ideally like to see if I can stick it into the 'info' column but adding it as another column would be fine too.. I tried to scour Google but couldnt really find anything.. thanks J

About a week ago we upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3.17. Since then when we try to acknowledge an alert we receive the below error in the browser. Over the weekend I upgraded to 4.3.18 but that didn't change the behavior and we still receive the error. Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at root at localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Here's the error log that details the error. /var/log/httpd/error_log [Mon Nov 10 10:51:30.278866 2014] [cgi:error] [pid 18672] [client x.x.x.x:64640] End of script output before headers: acknowledge.sh, referer: http://hostname.com:90/hobbit-seccgi/acknowledge.sh Thank you for your help Steve

listing my pages as columns rather than rows

Are you thinking of the XYMONGENOPTS setting in xymonserver.cfg? You can set --subpagecolumns=1 in there. I have mine set to 3 and I get 3 columns.

I know I've done this in past xymon installations but I can't remember how I did it. I want my main xymon page to list my prod servers and dev servers as pages, prod and dev listed as a column: Prod Dev The default is Prod Dev Can anyone give me a hand on getting these pages to list as a column? thanks, Elizabeth J
