jmxstat

Hello, I am trying to get jmxstat working. I have followed the instructions at https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/monitors:jmxstat and got to the point where I can see a jmxstat column in the xymon report, with a yellow icon. However clicking on that icon shows no graph. The rrd file is created on xymon server: /var/lib/xymon/rrd/test-app/jmxstat.rrd and `rrdtool info /var/lib/xymon/rrd/test-app/jmxstat.rrd` shows the output at the end. Can someone please give me a hint how to process further? Regards, Thanh filename = "/var/lib/xymon/rrd/test-app/jmxstat.rrd" rrd_version = "0003" step = 300 last_update = 1467109347 header_size = 1208 ds[runtime].index = 0 ds[runtime].type = "GAUGE" ds[runtime].minimal_heartbeat = 600 ds[runtime].min = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[runtime].max = NaN ds[runtime].last_ds = "0.97" ds[runtime].value = 1.4259000000e+02 ds[runtime].unknown_sec = 0 rra[0].cf = "AVERAGE" rra[0].rows = 576 rra[0].cur_row = 418 rra[0].pdp_per_row = 1 rra[0].xff = 5.0000000000e-01 rra[0].cdp_prep[0].value = NaN rra[0].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[1].cf = "AVERAGE" rra[1].rows = 576 rra[1].cur_row = 201 rra[1].pdp_per_row = 6 rra[1].xff = 5.0000000000e-01 rra[1].cdp_prep[0].value = 4.3749000000e+00 rra[1].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[2].cf = "AVERAGE" rra[2].rows = 576 rra[2].cur_row = 173 rra[2].pdp_per_row = 24 rra[2].xff = 5.0000000000e-01 rra[2].cdp_prep[0].value = 4.3749000000e+00 rra[2].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[3].cf = "AVERAGE" rra[3].rows = 576 rra[3].cur_row = 545 rra[3].pdp_per_row = 288 rra[3].xff = 5.0000000000e-01 rra[3].cdp_prep[0].value = 4.7244800000e+01 rra[3].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 92

How is clock graph in "trends" column generated
by shahid.junaid＠gmail.com 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hello Xymon Gurus! I have searched the interwebs for it but could not find anything useful. My question is how are the values calculated for the Clock offset graph, displayed at the bottom of the "Trends" column. I have seen some posts (and my experience also confirms this) that Xymon's ntp check (specified in the hosts.cfg) is only to see if NTP daemon on a client is up (responsive). While the clock offset is plotted via some internal logic (client feeds data to the server). Would really appreciate if some one can throw some light on it! Some links that I have gone through: http://osdir.com/ml/monitoring.hobbit/2007-03/msg00361.html http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2009/01/msg00417.html -- Regards, Junaid Shahid, TODO:______

question on precedence
by Galen.Johnson＠sas.com 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hey, Just curious about how "ignore" and "trigger" work together in the clientlocal.cfg file. Let's say I have a log message like 2016-06-26 03:33:41 (myhost): [RED ALERT] File is missing? and rules in clientlocal such that log:/var/log/some.log:10240 ignore "File is missing" trigger "RED ALERT" Which takes precedence? Is it just the order the rules are listed? thanks =G=

Sever script
by joshuasocrates＠gmail.com 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hi all, I'm slightly confused as to where I store the configuration for a server script. From what I can find, I should store the script in ~/xymon/server/ext/myscript, and I should store the configuration in ~/xymon/server/etc/xymonlaunch.cfg. However, the /xymonlaunch.cfg does not exist in this location. Anyone happen to where I configure my test? Thanks! Joshua

Support for TLS v1.1 and 1.2?
by david.gore＠verizon.com 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Mark Felder, Mentioned last year around April 17th, 2015 where Xymon support for TLS v1.1 and v1.2 may be lacking. Perhaps the issue is more my naiveté but does anyone know how I can get the sslcert and http tests to work correctly with Apache and Xymon.

Creating a custom nongreeen.html
by Gary.McKenner＠rac.com.au 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi, A few months ago I managed to get xymongen to create a custom non-green.html that only has red status , this file red.html is created every minute along with non-green.html , critical.html & xymon.html I cannot remember where I added the extra config to run this extra non-green.sh filtering out only the red status and has no eventlog or acklog. I seem to recall adding an extra stanza to a file to create this custom file but I cannot remember where the file is. I ran a strace of the scheduled xymongen command exactly as it is run by Xymon and you can see the red.html file being created after the normal non-green.html # strace -f ./xymongen --recentgifs --subpagecolumns=2 --report > /tmp/xymongen.txt3 2>&1 ... open("nongreen.html.tmp", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3 open("/usr/share/xymon/web/stdnongreen_header", O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1221, ...}) = 0 read(4, "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//D"..., 1221) = 1221 close(4) = 0 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7ff815a4a000 stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=453, ...}) = 0 write(3, "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//D"..., 4096) = 4096 stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=453, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/share/xymon/web/bulletin_header", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(3, "</a><span class=\"invis\"> | </spa"..., 4096) = 4096 open("/usr/share/xymon/data/hist/allevents", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/var/log/xymon/acknowledge.log", O_RDONLY) = 4 stat("/var/log/xymon/acknowledge.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=244, ...}) = 0 fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=244, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7ff815a49000 read(4, "1465774929\t1877328492\t2880\t18773"..., 4096) = 244 read(4, "", 4096) = 0 close(4) = 0 munmap(0x7ff815a49000, 4096) = 0 open("/usr/share/xymon/web/stdnongreen_footer", O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=332, ...}) = 0 read(4, "<BR><BR>\n\n<TABLE SUMMARY=\"Bottom"..., 332) = 332 close(4) = 0 open("/usr/share/xymon/web/bulletin_footer", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(3, "ends\"><IMG SRC=\"/xymon/gifs/gree"..., 2422) = 2422 close(3) = 0 munmap(0x7ff815a4a000, 4096) = 0 rename("nongreen.html.tmp", "nongreen.html") = 0 open("red.html.tmp", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3 open("/usr/share/xymon/web/stdnongreen_header", O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1221, ...}) = 0 read(4, "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//D"..., 1221) = 1221 close(4) = 0 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7ff815a4a000 stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=453, ...}) = 0 write(3, "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//D"..., 4096) = 4096 stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=453, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/share/xymon/web/bulletin_header", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/xymon/web/stdnongreen_footer", O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=332, ...}) = 0 read(4, "<BR><BR>\n\n<TABLE SUMMARY=\"Bottom"..., 332) = 332 close(4) = 0 open("/usr/share/xymon/web/bulletin_footer", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(3, "</a><span class=\"invis\"> | </spa"..., 3570) = 3570 close(3) = 0 munmap(0x7ff815a4a000, 4096) = 0 rename("red.html.tmp", "red.html") = 0 Any ideas of where and what I edited to get this custom html file created Cheers, [cid:image001.png at 01D1C6EC.9D2898C0] Gary McKenner Unix Systems Administrator Group IT Operations I’m for a better WA.

Questions about supplemental client messages
by jlaidman＠rebel-it.com.au 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi y'all I have some questions about the use of supplemental client messages (by specifying a collector ID in the "client" message). The man page has very little to say on the matter. I want to have a client-side script that collects the latest BIND DNS statistics and feeds them to the Xymon server via a supplemental client message. This is achieved using the following type of command (simplified for the exercise): { echo "client/named_stats $MACHINE.$SERVEROSTYPE $CONFIGCLASS" echo "[named_stats]" cat /path/to/latest/named.stats } | $XYMON $XYMSRV "@" This generates the following in the client data webpage: <begin example> [collector:named_stats] client/named_stats dns.example.com.freakos freakos [named_stats] +++ Statistics Dump ++ (1234567890) ... ++ Outgoing Queries ++ [View: default] 12345 A 345 NS ... ++ Resolver Statistics ++ [Common] 9693 mismatch responses received [View: default] ... <end example> My questions regarding this are: 1. Should I be including the $CONFIGCLASS in the report, like other client messages? Xymon puts the class onto a newline when I do this. The man page says the class is optional for a client message, but if I wanted to change the class, I don't think I would be able to. Or maybe it only makes sense to specify the class for the main client message, and not supplemental ones. 2. When I write the server-side processor, I'll need to collect the output by specifying the client section name of [named_stats]. But there's also a "[collector:named_stats] section heading that gets created automatically. Should I be adding the "[named_stats]" section at all, or instead making use of the [collector:named_stats] that gets created regardless? It probably doesn't matter if I have both, but I don't want to break anything, including some future intended use of these extra client messages. 3. The content of the client data section I'm sending happens to have square bracketed terms like "[Common]" and "[View: default]". This makes it impossible for me to fetch the whole [named-stats] section. My instinct is to escape these somehow, but I don't know of any standard "Xymon" way of doing this beyond a simple backslash. Cheers Jeremy

If you can give me the output of the [ps] section of the client data, I can take a look at merging support into xymon-procmem. J
