Network2.sh Script

Does anyone know where a modern version of the network2.sh Xymon extension script (originally by Paul A. Luzzi) can be found please? The website (www.cookitservices.com) mentioned in our version (3.5, 2005, Craig Cook) no longer exists. We use this to monitor the additional network Regards, Nick Pettefar Fujitsu Dublin :x

Hello, I need to ignore a message on xymon Critical entries in /var/log/secure red -> error='' On server log: Jun 25 09:21:14 mailserver saslauthd[28318]: zmpost: url=' https://mailserver.domain.com.br:7071/service/admin/soap/' returned buffer->data='<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=" http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"><soap:Header><context xmlns="urn:zimbra"><change token="30213"/></context></soap:Header><soap:Body><AuthResponse xmlns="urn:zimbraAccount"><authToken>0_b4e7e2ade952b00a8028cf4e80d489c2b0138b8e_69643d33363a36666134643163352d626664302d343239352d626234302d3837306532346138336662353b6578703d31333a313430333837313637343034363b76763d313a303b747970653d363a7a696d6272613b</authToken><lifetime>172800000</lifetime><skin>serenity</skin></AuthResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>', hti->error='' Sentinela configuration: /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/client-local.cfg log:/var/log/secure:10240 ignore saslauthd.*\[.*\]:.* ignore .*hti.*error.* ignore .*hti.* ignore ti->error.* But even so the messages are still appearing, there is something more that should be done?

Xymon performance scaling problems for Solaris zones?
by David.Mills＠ngc.com 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi, all... We've been running Xymon (4.3.3 -- yes, old, old, old...) very successfully for the last several years in our environment, but have run into a performance snag recently. We run Xymon on all our Solaris zones -- up to 10 zones + the global zone, at a time. Recently we've started configuring new Oracle LDOMS (64 x SPARC T5-8 processors / LDOM) with > 20 Solaris zones / LDOM and we're seeing that after about 10 zones, Xymon starts to hog CPU in a non-linear way, making the zones unusable. Specifically, it's not any of the "Xymon" daemons, but it's all the concurrent "vmstat" and "iostats" that are racking up the CPU cycles. We understand we have several options available including instantiating processor sets and pools, ulimits, etc, but we wanted to know if: a) Anyone else has had to navigate this problem with such a large number of concurrent *stat commands b) Is it possible / advisable to monitor zones via Xymon using only a single instance of Xymon running in the global zone, or possibly a representative local zone? The LDOMs all run Solaris 11, FWIW. TIA for any tips! david ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ David Mills Systems Administrator Northrop Grumman (512) 873-6665

xymond option --merge-clientlocal and clientupdate
by alex＠bakarasse.de 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi Henrik, If xymond is started with the "--merge-clientlocal" option and returns more than one clientversion: lines then clientupdate on xymon client not works properly. ////According to the rule "host before class before os" the following modificationof xymonclient.sh would be correct: - SERVERVERSION=`grep "^clientversion:" $LOGFETCHCFG | cut -d: -f2` + SERVERVERSION=`grep "^clientversion:" $LOGFETCHCFG | cut -d: -f2 | head -n1` In the xymond manpage must be also "--merge-clientlocal" instead of "--merge-clientconfig". Thanks Alex

switch row-column of xymon webpage

Hi The 'vpage' keyword in hosts.cfg can do this. Example is here: http://xymon.com/xymon/vert/vert.html The hosts.cfg is linked from the "Demo Site" menu.

We have a requirement that is not too much server to monitor but there is lots of information from that server (more than 200 columns). The webpage is difficult to scroll left-right.

switch row-column of xymon webpage

Hello XYMon gurus: I am new to XYMon and I need your help. We have a requirement that is not too much server to monitor but there is lots of information from that server (more than 200 columns). The webpage is difficult to scroll left-right. So I wonder if there is a way to switch the servers to column and information/data to row? So in this way the webpage will be easy to view since the webpage is easy to scroll up-down. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks Michael

Nothing showing except CONN for one host
by wes.neal＠verizon.com 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

I have a single host that won’t show anything but the CONN column on the display page for it. It is running a client, but nothing is being populated on the server end. I have many, many other clients installed, some in this same location and on the same network. Normally this might be a short name vs FQDN name in bb-hosts, but I have both the short and fqdn in the file currently. I am running an older version of Xymon 4.2 still, but again no issue with other hosts. Any other idea what might be causing the DISPLAY not to be populated? Thanks

by didds3＠yahoo.co.uk 18 Jun '14

running an ancient version of xymon - 4.2.3 - in the mode where the client sends the monitored info back to the server via a client process running on the monitored server. How can we stop "maint" monitoing, or at least the reporting of the maint reports? cheers Ian

Hi, I have 10 nodes in a cluster and have custom script which creates graph of application's response time. X and Y axis are same for all. I have to see each node's graph how they are behaving. Is there a ways where I can see all 10 graphs in one graph with different colors. Thanks, Deepak
