Thanks Wilfrid, definitely I will try email, the only reason looking other method is PD email integration is the least recommended, but if that work for you, I will try it, I was looking other xymon users feedback.

Thanks much Johnson. Yes PD has web hook. Do mind if you give me some insight what you did on xymon side, what the script do and where did you put the script.

Color Status GIF for host status page
by steuer＠hotmail.com 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Hi, I've tried to figure this out, but I need help at this point. What I'm trying to figure out is how to add a colored GIF status image to a detailed host page. For example, when looking at built in pages like Memory, Disk, Etc. The individual items show a small colored GIF image, green,yellow,red prior to the item [green gif] Physical: 80%. I've setup the UPS monitoring using devmon and the dnsreg script and while if I click on those pages it shows a green column/bar all the way to the left, it doesn't show a green gif dot image next to the item that is tested. How can this be added? I've looked at the analysis.cfg and thought I was getting close, but I think it must be set/configured in some other way, it is defined on the client or the Xymon server and where? Thanks for all help!

Display IP address on webpage

Hi..Is there a way to display the IP address instead of the hostname in the overview webpages. I suppose I can use the NAME tag but it would mean I have to add NAME tags to every host in host.cfg Thanks

trimhistory error
by dirk.kastens＠uni-osnabrueck.de 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Hi, I'm running the trimhistory command every night to clean up the logfiles from events that happend more than a year ago using the following command: /bin/su - xymon -c '/usr/libexec/xymon/trimhistory --cutoff=`date +%s --date="today -1 year"` --drop --droplogs --env=/etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg' Now I found out, that most of the files in the /var/lib/xymon/hist directory are corrupted and that the history of these tests are not displayed any longer on the web page. The first line of the files look like this: Tue Jun 17 12:41:45 2014 green 1403001705Tue Jun 17 12:41:45 2014 green 1403001705 37051426 I'm not sure, but I think that the trimhistory command is responsible for that. Any ideas? Regards, Dirk

Multiple graphs per column
by Galen.Johnson＠sas.com 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Has anyone gotten the multiple graphs per column to work? I tried using the example in the xymonserver.cfg file but it still only shows a single graph...for example, if I want the la graph and vmstat1 I should be able to add the line: GRAPH_cpu="la,vmstat1" As I understand it, that should give me both graphs when I click on the test. Did I just miss a step (yes, I restarted xymon)? thanks =G=

Clear Ghostlist file?
by Russell.Blumenthal＠stonybrookmedicine.edu 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Is there a way to clear the ghostlist file and have it regenerated? I took a look at it (~/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 ghostlist) and I see hosts and IPs (total of 40) that are in my hosts.cfg file. The ghost clients page in Xymon only shows 6 hosts, which is the correct number. I am trying to implement the unconfigured clients script (https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/addons:unconfigured_clients) and it works well however since the ghostlist file has hosts that should not be there, it makes the display not 100% correct by putting hosts in 2 pages.

False disk alerts.
by neilsimmonds1808＠gmail.com 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Hi all, We are having a strange issue on one of our Xymon systems. Occasionally the disk alert flags but it is due to a malformation of the data. The alert looks like this, red Tue Sep 22 01:57:24 2015 - Filesystems NOT ok &red 1K-b]ocks (1 units free) has reached the PANIC level (524288 units) &red C (0 units free) has reached the PANIC level (524288 units) Filesystem 1K-b]ocks Used Avail Capacity Total Size Free Space Type Mount Point C 71114748 16071904 55042844 22% 67.82 GB 52.49 GB FIXED N/A but if I then go to the history and then look at the client data it's fine. 00.0% 212 svchost.exe 8 0:00:00 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM 13248k [disk] Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Total Size Free Space Type Mount Point C 71114748 16071904 55042844 22% 67.82 GB 52.49 GB FIXED N/A [memory] memory Total Used I've checked to see if there are any strange invisible characters in the client data but can't see any yet we're getting this peculiar alert. Server is Linux running Xymon 4.3.4 (same as our other server) and client is BBWin 0.13. We have the same combination of client/server versions running on our other system and have never had anything like this that I am aware of.

Drive not identified in Xymon and Services are not displayed
by sascha.radovanovic＠thyssenkrupp.com 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Hello, we have some problems after switching from Hobbit to Xymon(CentOS). On some virtual machines (Windows Server R2 2008 Standard) the disks are not identified. For example the drive D does exists on the virtual machine, but it is not showing in the section disk on the main page of Xymon. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Total Size Free Space Type Status Mount Point D 0 0 0 0% - - UNKNOWN red N/A ** not found** This is what we have in BBWin.cfg <disk>  <setting name="alwaysgreen" value="false" />    <setting name="C" warnlevel="98%" paniclevel="99%" /> <setting name="D" warnlevel="85%" paniclevel="95%" /> <setting name="E" ignore="true" /> -->  <setting name="remote" value="false" />  <setting name="cdrom" value="false" /> </disk> The second problem is that Services are not displayed. We have the message that Computer has restarted in the last 300 seconds no check is done until the delay is passed. How can we fix the issues? Any hints? Thanks a lot in advance.

Combo.cfg questions
by dito74＠gmail.com 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

I am trying to configure the combo file, in the man pages I read: "The configuration file uses the hostnames and testnames that are already used in your Xymon hosts.cfg file" in the combo.cfg I read example of "AppSrv1.procs" I have files that are being consumed in the agents /tmp folders and spit out an "alc" check to XYMon server. Now this file is being processed round robin among 5 different app servers, and I don't want to get paged by 4 purple message, so I am trying to configure combo for all of them: "if one of them is green, then alc green" my combo.cfg line is: dev1.alc = (dev1app01.engbe.evare.local.alc || dev1xf08.engbe.evare.local.alc) in my hosts.cfg I added this: 0.0.0.0 dev1.alc #noconn however, I don't see the purple or green status combo in the webpage. Is it only for alerts.cfg or should I be able to see it in the monitor page? Gab
