Hello. Engineers where I can find a script that allows me to monitor HP Proliant DL360 equipment windows, specifcally the hardware (drives, voltage, memory, power supplies, etc.). Xymon server is a computer running solaris 9 operating system. Thank you. José Trinidad Álvarez Aguilar Av. Epigmenio Gonzalez No. 2, Col. Parques Industriales, C:P.76150 Santiago de Querétaro, Qro.

Monitoring multiple values
by dewelker＠gmail.com 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

I've been looking, but haven't seen anything in the documentation, on the website, or in the mailing list that addresses this: I need to monitor 5 values that are received all at the same time. I'd like to insert the values at one minute intervals getting a consolidated data point (CDP) every 5 minutes that I can graph. For example, I ping a host via client script, 5 times, returning all of the data at one time. I want to put all 5 values in the database (rrd), but spaced apart every minute so I get a decent CDP. I could probably do this if this was on the server (could I?), but the script HAS to be on the client in this case. Is this even doable? Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions! David

font size for refresh date
by kspringer＠innovateteam.com 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Anyone know where to configure the font size for the refresh date that appears at the top right of the webpage? It's wrapping on smaller screens because the fonts so large. I can set custom font sizes for lots of things in xymonserver.cfg but that's one that I can't find. I've looked in the .css files and I'm not seeing it there either. Any ideas? Signature - Kris Thank you. ------------------------------------------------ Kris Springer

not printing the whole xml

You're obviously omitting something. How about a more complete picture of your script? Also, you should be quoting your variable references, and insulating your regular expression: FILE="/home/xxxxxxi/xyz.xml" OUT=*"*$(cat *"*$FILE*"*)*"* if do_fetch *"*$HOSTNAME*"* *"*$IP*"* | grep -v *-e* "$REGEX" > /dev/null ; then COL=green MSG=*"*${OUT}*"* ... $BB $BBDISP "status $HOSTNAME.$TESTNAME $COL `date` ${MSG}" -- *Steve Coile*Senior Network and Systems Engineer, McClatchy Interactive <http://www.mcclatchyinteractive.com/> Office: 919-861-1247 | Mobile: 919-622-5369 | Fax: 919-861-1300 On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 11:52 AM, usa ims via Xymon <xymon at xymon.com> wrote: > _______________________________________________ > Xymon mailing list > Xymon at xymon.com > http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: usa ims <usaims at yahoo.com> > To: xymon at xymon.com > Cc: > Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:47:19 -0700 > Subject: not printing the whole xml > My custom server script is not printing the whole page.

My custom server script is not printing the whole page. It is only printing the values of the tags ... FILE="/home/xxxxxxi/xyz.xml" OUT=$(cat $FILE) if do_fetch $HOSTNAME $IP | grep -v "$REGEX" > /dev/null ; then COL=green MSG=${OUT} ... $BB $BBDISP "status $HOSTNAME.$TESTNAME $COL `date` ${MSG}" It should be printing: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://tlo.com/"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:xxxxxxxxxh> <ns1:searchInput> <ns1:Password>xxx</ns1:Password> <ns1:Username>xxx</ns1:Username> <ns1:DPPAPurpose>0</ns1:DPPAPurpose> <ns1:GLBPurpose>0</ns1:GLBPurpose> <ns1:NumberOfRecords>50</ns1:NumberOfRecords> <ns1:StartingRecord>1</ns1:StartingRecord> <ns1:Version>4</ns1:Version> <ns1:ShowAddressSummary>1</ns1:ShowAddressSummary> <ns1:ShowAddressDetails>1</ns1:ShowAddressDetails> <ns1:ShowAircraft>1</ns1:ShowAircraft> <ns1:ShowAssociateSummary>1</ns1:ShowAssociateSummary> <ns1:ShowBankruptcies>1</ns1:ShowBankruptcies> <ns1:ShowBusinessAssociations>1</ns1:ShowBusinessAssociations> But it is printing: xxx xxx 0 0 50 1 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Feature Request
by everett.vernon＠gmail.com 27 Aug '14

Hi Henrik The NCV feature in Xymon is fantastic, and I love it. It's a quick and easy way to populate a graph with data. My problem with it, is it sometimes works too well. Sometimes, we have output that contains : or = that's not part of the graphing data, and if you are using SPLIT_NCV, it dutifully tries to graph this information, often with woeful results. I am looking for a feature that we can use to tag a line as "NCV leave this alone!" Perhaps a string of hidden characters at the end of a line, or even a string of visible characters, which the display process can strip out.

how to migrate historical data

You need to use -r to recursively copy. cheers, P ________________________________ From: Xymon on behalf of Kris Springer Sent: Wednesday, 27 August 2014 1:41 PM To: Stef Coene; xymon at xymon.com Subject: Re: [Xymon] how to migrate historical data I tried using scp to copy the following directories over to the new server. /var/lib/xymon/hist/ /var/lib/xymon/histlogs/ /var/lib/xymon/rrd/ But I keep getting 'not a regular file' errors on the rrd and histlogs files. I need the rrd data. The graphs are really all I care about.

If the rrd's are not compatibel (32 bit -> 64 bit) you can export the rrd to xml on the old server, transfer the xml file and import the xml to an rrd. I juist did that for one of our customers :) Stef _______________________________________________ Xymon mailing list Xymon at xymon.com<mailto:Xymon at xymon.com> http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon
