Select All on Acknowledge page?

Has anyone hacked together a select all for the acknowledge page? We've had a few major attacks recently and trying to ack 200 alerts takes more time than trying to actually fix the problem. It would be great if I could just hit select all and then the ack button. Thanks! Skadz

Dear All, as mentioned in the topic: Is it possible to trigger a server side monitoring cycle (for external tests like ping), without having to restart the whole daemon? Thank you!

custom graph advice
by ohemming＠gmail.com 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

Hello All, I want to create a graph that plots a % based on a couple of entries in a log file. That, in itself, is not the problem. My issue is that a new log file is generated each day but the java garbage collection (which creates the log entries) doesn't run on a schedule. Therefore there will be times (from 00:00 most obviously) when no data is returned. When data is missing, should I leave it null, literally set it to NaN or something else entirely? For example, which of these is recommended? configured_max: post_GC: or configured_max:NaN post_GC:NaN If something else, what should it be?

checking for symlinks
by ohemming＠gmail.com 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

I'm using Xymon 4.3.21 on a linux host with mix of linux and solaris clients Is checking whether a file is symlink supported in analysis.cfg? The man page doesn't mention it but client_config.c does look like it should work. I have this in analysis.cfg FILE /etc/.sudoers.local red type=symlink My test goes red with the following statement: File is a file - should be symlink If I click on it, I see this: [file:/etc/.sudoers.local] type:100000 (file, symlink -> /bw/local/etc/.sudoers.local) mode:440 (-r--r-----) linkcount:1 owner:0 (root) group:0 (root) size:102 clock:1435770054 (2015/07/01-17:00:54) atime:1336161370 (2012/05/04-19:56:10) ctime:1377011564 (2013/08/20-15:12:44) mtime:1377011564 (2013/08/20-15:12:44) To prove it's a symlink: # ls -l /etc/.sudoers.local lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Aug 2 2011 /etc/.sudoers.local -> /bw/local/etc/.sudoers.local What am I doing wrong?

CLIENTHOSTNAME and hosts that use FQHNs as their hostname
by earle＠isolar.DynDNS.ORG 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Is CLIENTHOSTNAME still supported? My group was asked to start managing some systems in our organization; we discovered that they use FQHNs as their "hostname". (No idea why) I want them to report in to the Xymon server (4.3.12 on RHEL 6.3) with the short name instead. Strangely, on their 2 Debian Squeezy 6.0.6 systems with Xymon 4.3.0beta2, enabling CLIENTHOSTNAME works fine. But the rest of their systems (all but one) are CentOS 5.8-5.11 and with xymon-client-4.3.17-1.el5.centos RPMs installed, enabling CLIENTHOSTNAME in "/etc/sysconfig/xymon-client" apparently has no effect. They all show up as Ghost Clients. The temp files written to "/dev/shm" are msg.<FQHN>.txt xymon_vmstat.<FQHN>.<pid> logfetch.<FQHN>.cfg etc. I've got CLIENTHOSTNAME set: [root at endeavour ~]# grep ^CLIENT /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client CLIENTHOSTNAME="endeavour" I tried manually adding "--hostname=<short name>" to the arguments and got /usr/sbin/xymonlaunch: Unsupported argument: --hostname=endeavour On the server side I tried adding the "CLIENT:<short name>" keyword: [root at xymonserver xymon]# grep endeavour hosts.cfg 192.168.1.100 endeavour CLIENT:endeavour # ssh 192.168.1.100 endeavour CLIENT:endeavour # noconn (I also tried putting it after the "#" - hey guys, a sample "hosts.cfg" file with some of the optional features/keywords wouldn't hurt, y'know.) No difference. What am I missing? - Greg
