Flapping Status??? Unkown IP

Found my problem... was having a moment... In the Hosts.cfg file I had used Fake Names for the systems and it was trying to use DNS to resolve them... adding testip fixed the problem.... What is the proper way of not Using the hostname? So that it shows a custom name of the webpage instead of the actual hostname?

Keep getting systems in the red... On the status page it even shows an IP address that is not used on my network??? here is a copy of the page... any Ideas? The 198.105 address is not even part of my network... I use all 192.168.1.* address and that is not the address of the device being monitored either! *WARNING: Flapping status* Sun Nov 6 16:03:11 2016 conn NOT ok Service conn on Access-Point is not OK : Host does not respond to ping System unreachable for 4 poll periods (905 seconds) red 198.105.244.11 is unreachable

VMware datastore monitor [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by martin.wojak＠ecodev.vic.gov.au 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

Hello All, A couple of years ago, I downloaded a great VMware datastore monitor, from dell.com. I've just changed jobs and would like to download it again It seems that Dell have now blocked downloads. Does anyone have a copy of this script that they can email me? http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/application-management/big-brother/… Monitor datastore utilization on VMware ESXi 4.X and 5.X Monitor datastore utilization of VMware ESXi 4.X and 5.X via using the "Browse datastores on this host" page of ESXi's built-in HTTPS service. This eliminates the need to manage a plugin that uses VMware's labyrinthine RCLI or the vCenter alarm framework, both of which have problems. Simply add a list of hosts (and a login name/password) to the script and run it. This script connects directly to port 1984 instead of calling "bb" from the shell, so you can either run it as a plugin or run it standalone -- even on another host if you want to. This plugin is compatible with Big Brother and it is also compatible with Hobbit/Xymon. Its output simulates that of unix "df" closely enough that if you are running Hobbit/Xymon the utilization graphs will appear as expected. License: open source; GPL v3. Thanks, Martin. ******************************************************************************** Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources, Government of Victoria, Victoria, Australia.

Thanks to JC
by xymon＠epperson.homelinux.net 04 Nov '16

Please pardon the gratuitous noise, but JC's yum repo has saved me at least a couple of man days in building a Xymon monitor on Centos 7 for a nonprofit that I now support pro bono, so I want to shout out. I was a Big Brother-->Hobbit-->Xymon practitioner from roughly the beginning before retiring a year and a half ago. I do Fedora (and Xymon) at home, and was a bit out of touch with Red Hat and Centos. Japheth's repo let me get the basic stuff up and running in an hour, and I'm off to the races (took a couple of hours to do the Centos 7 netinstall because it wouldn't DHCP). JC's repo is all the more remarkable given that RPMFusion is as yet still unable to support Centos 7. I do still need to work through monitoring, as best I can, an entirely non-Linux setup. XBlue VOIP phones, Ubiquiti wifi APs, Windows 2008 R2 server with SQL Server, Windows shares over a 3 point VPN. Also, large thanks to Sean and Henrik. Regards to all, Jake

Xymon client data forwarding to another Xymon server?
by maik＠vegasystems.com 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

We have some clients behind a firewall what are sending their Xymon logs to a Xymon server at the same subnet. The Xymon server is the only one machine what is able to send the client data somewwere else, so we would like to get this server sending the local client data to another Xymon server, too. Not all client data should be send, we would like to be able (if possible) to select the clients being send to the other server. I was reading about xymonproxy, but it sounds, it only can send all client data to another server?! Also, there are almost no manuals or detailed information how to get xymonproxy setup. It would be great to get some help to understand how to get it working. Thank you in advance Maik Heinelt -- ..................................................................

Hi Xymon community, I'm getting a bunch of SSL Error alerts on some websites. Here is one example: https://kct-uat.agriculture.vic.gov.au/ If I add this to xymon, I get: Thu Nov 3 03:50:38 2016: SSL error red https://kct-uat.agriculture.vic.gov.au/ - SSL error I did some digging through the xymon archives and openssl errors and found this: http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2013-January/036688.html and this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24457408/openssl-command-to-check-if-a-s… so when I run this command from my Xymon server I get the 104 error: # openssl s_client -connect kct-uat.agriculture.vic.gov.au:443 CONNECTED(00000003) write:errno=104 --- no peer certificate available --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 247 bytes --- New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE But if I add the SNI, I get a nice connection: # openssl s_client -connect kct-uat.agriculture.vic.gov.au:443 -servername kct-uat.agriculture.vic.gov.au CONNECTED(00000003) depth=2 C = US, O = DigiCert Inc, OU = www.digicert.com, CN = DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA verify return:1 depth=1 C = US, O = DigiCert Inc, OU = www.digicert.com, CN = DigiCert SHA2 High Assurance Server CA verify return:1 depth=0 C = AU, ST = Victoria, L = Melbourne, O = "Department of Economic Development, Jobs Transport and Resources", CN = *.agriculture.vic.gov.au verify return:1 New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384 Server public key is 2048 bit Secure Renegotiation IS supported Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1.2 Cipher : ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384 Session-ID: DC460000EC412D00D689C7E10DF575272E026FF475153A6367229629D79D15CF Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: 0EE96C944F5746D3524A17580FD7907716FBA724C1B8909CA96430C2F7262EC469CD9CBD1D25A6ADDB791A6E45AAAB76 Key-Arg : None Krb5 Principal: None PSK identity: None PSK identity hint: None Start Time: 1478145325 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 0 (ok) But now I'm not sure what to do next...

xymon client and zfs filesystems (zfs on linux)
by hobbit＠elyograg.org 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

It seems that when zfsonlinux is included and there are zfs filesystems, those filesystems are excluded from the disk space reporting done by the xymon client. I found a solution, but I would like to know if there's something more elegant that could be included in the source code. I found this line in xymonclient-linux.sh: EXCLUDES=`cat /proc/filesystems | grep nodev | egrep -v rootfs | awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo | sed -e 's! ! -x !g'` This is what I changed it to: EXCLUDES=`cat /proc/filesystems | grep nodev | egrep -v "rootfs|zfs" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo | sed -e 's! ! -x !g'` Even though this does work, it feels very much like a hack to me. I also tried adding the bb-zfs script from xymonton. This required a fair amount of customizing, but even after fixing program paths, it seems that some of the zfs utilities need to be run as root when they're on Linux, so that doesn't work right. Thanks, Shawn
