stop using dns and /etc/hosts

I have a hosts.cfg entry 1.2.3.4 server1 where 1.2.3.4 is server1's INTERNAL IP address but its conn check is red because xymon is actually trying to ping its external, NATTed, address 5.6.7.8 which it cannot reach. Its because DNS is resolving the IP 5.6.7.8 I can use a local hosts file entry to override that again, but I'd rather have some way fo telling xymon to only use entries in hosts.cfg and ignore native resolution. How might i achieve that? cheers Ian

*.sh links download, not display

I'm trying to setup a new Xymon server. This is only my second time doing this and the last time was years ago, so I'm probably missing something obvious. I have the big grid of status messages running on /xymon.html now. However, if I click on one of the icons the browser will download a file instead of displaying detailed status info. As an example, I clicked on /xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=<hostname>&SERVICE=ldap and it just downloaded a file named svcstatus.sh. I'm betting I missed a setting in my Apache 2.4 configuration.

The requested URL /xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh was not found on this server.

Hi everyone, I am unable to generate Metric Reports, I get as far as the 'Metrics Report' page. When I select 'Generate Report', I get a broken image icon. A little digging shows that the showgraph.sh script isn't anywhere on the server. I installed XYMON using the tarball method, on an RHEL 6 machine. Any idea why its missing this script? Thanks.

Bug in 4.3.18 HTTPD graph display
by Scot.Kreienkamp＠la-z-boy.com 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hi everyone, I upgraded from 4.3.17 to 4.3.18 recently, and after the upgrade I noticed that some of my custom graphs have disappeared. It seems that anytime I have a dash in the test name the graph doesn't work at all. The RRD files exist and are still being updated, and they all worked in 4.3.17 with no errors. Additionally, I'm getting error messages like this in some of my HTTPD logs for graphs that do still work as well as the ones that no longer work: 2015-02-26 10:08:36 Sendto failed: Connection refused, referer: http://retv6100.na.lzb.hq/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=rets5032.na.lzb.hq&SE… Here's the full request: 10.1.28.203 - - [26/Feb/2015:10:08:36 -0500] "GET /xymon-cgi/showgraph.sh?host=rets5032.na.lzb.hq&service=ncv:DBHealth&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&disp=rets5032%2ena%2elzb%2ehq&nostale&color=green&graph_start=1424790516&graph_end=1424963316&graph=hourly&action=view HTTP/1.1" 200 34331 "http://retv6100.na.lzb.hq/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=rets5032.na.lzb.hq&SE…" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C)" Any help is appreciated.

Hi, is there an Xymon addon to monitor e-mail traffic on Sendmail servers? Would like to see graphs of sent and rejected e-mails on a daily basis if possible. Regards, Nick Pettefar

(Possibly asking for the xymonhome directory.) Can you do a make distclean and run through the config process again? If it recurs, can you attach the contents of the root-level 'Makefile' file that the ./configure script(s) generate out? Regards, -jc
