Host Name Links
by tm＠freedom.com 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Some years back I used the notes directory method. Created an 'index.php' file and symlinked $hostname.php to that file. From there I hooked into a simple mysql database to get details for the host. It was a cheesy hack, but serves it's purpose. ________________________________________ From: Xymon [xymon-bounces at xymon.com] on behalf of Thomas Eckert [thomas.eckert at it-eckert.de] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2014 4:48 AM To: Xymon MailingList Subject: Re: [Xymon] Host Name Links Alternatively you an use `HOSTDOCURL` or the `—docurl`-option of `xymongen` (depending on your version of xymon) to point to an external web server.

If it works on those other platforms, it's probably not an issue, so I guess I'd be on board with that request for Linux. On SunOS, it's not present on Solaris 8. So how to handle that would be the question. - -- ____ *Note: UMDNJ is now Rutgers-Biomedical and Health Sciences* || \\UTGERS |---------------------*O*--------------------- ||_// Biomedical | Ryan Novosielski - Senior Technologist || \\ and Health | novosirj at rutgers.edu - 973/972.0922 (2x0922) || \\ Sciences | OIRT/High Perf & Res Comp - MSB C630, Newark `' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlSJuksACgkQmb+gadEcsb7oGQCfbDXKfo4sQosO5gEtfs+vM7uw On8An2TAzbrejvXL0hgS/vTJk+w2vfi/ =AtS3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Is it a problem to change df -k to df -h in xymonclient-sunos.sh ? This change makes reading the disk page easier. If not, could it be made permanent in the next release (if no-one objects)? Regards, Nick Pettefar

Test http-pages using different proxy servers
by christian.becker＠rhein-zeitung.net 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

All, i want to test if a special website is reachable using different proxy servers. In our setup, proxyserver1 routes the traffic to the internet using gateway1, proxyserver2 does this using gateway2. Therefore, i've already added the statement "--bb-proxy-syntax" to tasks.cfg and restarted the xymon processes. Further, i've configured the following in the hosts.cfg (note that xxx.webpage.com is only for this example here and is nothing that really exists...): 0.0.0.0 webpageoverproxy1 # noconn http://proxyserver1:8080/http://xxx.webpage.com/<http://proxyserver1:8080/http:/xxx.webpage.com/> 0.0.0.0 webpageoverproxy2 # noconn http://proxyserver2:8080/http://xxx.webpage.com/<http://proxyserver2:8080/http:/xxx.webpage.com/> We do not need proxy authentication. I get the two entries for webpageoverproxy1 and webpageoverproxy2 containing the test columns http, info and trends. My assumption was that each of the http tests will show me a line telling me which proxy has been used to establish the http test: Via: 1.1 gateway1 (squid) for the first line of hosts.cfg example from above and Via: 1.1 gateway2 (squid) for the second line of hosts.cfg example from above but I was failing. Both of the http tests contain this line: Via: 1.1 gateway1 (squid) This means to me that my setup from the hosts.cfg as shown above doesn't work. Can anybody tell me what's going wrong in here? Could this be a cache issue?

analysis.cfg checks failing
by JAlexander＠feeneywireless.com 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

All, I've just installed Xyon onto CentOS 7 (x86_64). As usual, it's working like a charm, except.. HOST= lines in analysis.cfg are not being evaluated. An example: HOST=server.mydomain.com PROC=mysql The server is defined in hosts.cfg and MariaDB is running on the server, but the procs remain clear saying "No process checks defined" Anyone got any insight?

NAME tag
by dns1407＠yahoo.com 09 Dec '14

Hi All, I'm using xymon 4.3.17 and has a issue with NAME tag in hosts.cfg.When defining one host multiple times in the hosts.cfg I want to give them different names. I use the NAME tag, but this doesn't change the display name on the webpage. Does anyone has familiar problem? Or is there a solution for this? It looks like this in the hosts.cfg: group-except info ORG10.1.1.1 hostnameorg group-only info ALIAS0.0.0.0 hostnameorg # noping NAME:"NAMEIWANT" On the webpage it still displaying "hostnameorg" for my second entry. Greeting.... DNS

One trend page for more than one host
by sgb＠pics.com 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Hi, Is there a way to show the trends for more than one host on one page? I have 2 Linux hosts that support 1 application. I'd like to be able to view the cpu (for example) for both of them together on one page. The trends column for each host shows all of the graphs for that host, I would like to be able to view these 2 at the same time without having to flip between browser tabs. Thanks Steve
