Cause of listing for "Multi-source statuses" in "xymond" col?

Hello... Our Xymon server (4.3.3) is getting swamped and we're trying to figure out where the pain is coming from. One thing we've observed is in the "xymond" page for the Xymon server itself, there is a *very* long listing of hosts/tests under the section titled "Multi-source statuses". Could someone tell me exactly what this section reports and what would be likely causes for entries in this section. Does inclusion in this listing imply duplicate status data is being sent to the Xymon server from these clients? The large majority of entries cite both the host in question and a corresponding "vlan" we've set up (i.e. an alternate network route using an alternate interface) on these multi-homed clients. If I'm understanding these tests as reporting statuses over both routes, to the server, don't see that could be possible... ?? Example of what we're seeing: Multi-source statuses ... pwau801:memUse reported by XXX.ZZZ.163.127 and XXX.ZZZ.120.197 pwau801:msgs reported by XXX.ZZZ.163.127 and XXX.ZZZ.120.197 pwau801:ports reported by XXX.ZZZ.163.127 and XXX.ZZZ.120.197 pwau801:procs reported by XXX.ZZZ.163.127 and XXX.ZZZ.120.197 pwau801:sar reported by XXX.ZZZ.120.197 and XXX.ZZZ.163.127 twau016:cpu reported by XXX.ZZZ.120.114 and XXX.ZZZ.160.36 twau016:disk reported by XXX.ZZZ.120.114 and XXX.ZZZ.160.36 twau016:files reported by XXX.ZZZ.120.114 and XXX.ZZZ.160.36 twau016:iostat reported by XXX.ZZZ.160.36 and XXX.ZZZ.120.114 twau016:memory reported by XXX.ZZZ.120.114 and XXX.ZZZ.160.36 twau016:memUse reported by XXX.ZZZ.163.76 and XXX.ZZZ.120.114 twau016:meta reported by XXX.ZZZ.163.76 and XXX.ZZZ.160.36 ... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ David Mills Systems Administrator Northrop Grumman (512) 873-6665

Monitor Salesforce?
by kspringer＠innovateteam.com 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

I ran across an older post on the message board about a script to monitor the Salesforce system status page at http://trust.salesforce.com/trust/status/ and check a specific instance for the green checkmark. There was a script that someone made but it wasn't attached. Does anyone have a functioning version of a sript that will do this? Here's the older message board post. http://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2011-May/031668.html Signature - Kris Thank you. ------------------------------------------------ Kris Springer

OK, I was correct about the library packages. Once I installed them, it resolved most of my problems, and the configure script completed OK. On to the make. (Or gmake in my case) And we hit the next hurdle. gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DSunOS -I/var/tmp/xymon-4.3.17/include -I/opt/csw/include -o xymonnet xymonnet.o contest.o httptest.o httpresult.o ldaptest.o dns.o dns2.o httpcookies.o -L -lcares -L/opt/csw/lib -lldap -llber ../lib/libxymontime.a -lrt ../lib/libxymoncomm.a -L/usr/sfw/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -lrt ../lib/libxymon.a -L/opt/csw/lib -lpcre Undefined first referenced symbol in file ares_process dns.o ares_gethostbyname dns.o ares_strerror dns.o ares_init_options dns.o ares_search dns.o ares_fds dns.o ares_destroy dns.o ares_timeout dns.o ares_expand_name dns2.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.
