Find server sending data to xymon?

Hi, Is there a way to find out what server is sending data to xymon? I have an entry where the status has been flapping. Looking at it more, it looks like 2 servers are sending data using the same hostname for the xymon config. I disabled the service on the known server (good one) to stop the flapping, but I am not sure how to find out who is sending the other data. Any ideas?

Support for TLS v1.1 and 1.2?
by ian.burrowes＠gmail.com 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Hi David, This might not help at all, but when I had problems with xymon HTTPS and SSL checks on my Win2012 R2 ADFS server recently, it was actually the target website requiring Server Name Indication (SNI) support, rather than a TLS 1.1 / 1.2 issue. I was able to fix the problem by adding 'sni' on the end of the host entry in hosts.cfg. Please disregard this advice if not relevant, but perhaps it will help others :) Kind Regards, Ian On 7 June 2016 at 08:31, Gore, David W (David) via Xymon <xymon at xymon.com> wrote: > _______________________________________________ > Xymon mailing list > Xymon at xymon.com > http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: "Gore, David W (David)" <david.gore at verizon.com> > To: "xymon at xymon.com" <xymon at xymon.com> > Cc: > Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2016 18:20:12 -0400 > Subject: [Xymon] Support for TLS v1.1 and 1.2? > > Mark Felder, > > > > Mentioned last year around April 17th, 2015 where Xymon support for TLS > v1.1 and v1.2 may be lacking.

How to override testip?
by feld＠feld.me 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

How do you override testip for a single host? Looking at the code there's a flag for xymonnet called "dodns" that's not documented in hosts.cfg man page. It feels to me like the xymonnet code should be slightly altered to allow you to specify "dodns" on a per-host basis to override a "testip" setting that may be default. -- Mark Felder feld at feld.me

xymon for AIX
by wonderfoo2＠gmail.com 02 Jun '16

Hi Stef, Your last tip was helpful to get through with the hump on getting the AIX client compiled and initial install. I noticed the monitoring page (cpu,disk, memory) for the said client is not populated aside from the standard monitors coming off the server (conn,info,ssh,trends). the client log is throwing "Whoops ! Failed to send message (timeout)". I send in a debug for test to the server from the client, which is also timing out. Please advise. /xymon/logs # tail -10 xymonclient.log 2016-05-18 15:51:47.497327 -> Recipient '172.31.2.131', timeout 15 2016-05-18 15:51:47.497375 -> 1st line: 'client aixadm.aix aix' 2016-05-18 15:56:51.683098 Whoops !

Xymon all red page minor bug question and patch
by spah＠syntec.co.uk 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hi, I found the Xymon all red page (red.html) added in 4.3.11 (r7180) with a bit of Googling, but (a) it is not in xymonmenu.cfg so it is not visible by default (trvial patch to config attached to fix this), (b) (the minor bug) it displays 'Current non-green Systems' at the top of the page instead of e.g. 'Current red Systems', and (c) is there any way it can display the most recent events, like the actual nongreen.html page does? I did look at the diffs from the commit that added this feature, but I couldn't see anything there to customize the header of the page (or any reason why it would be suppressing the most recent events view). Kind regards, Sebastian Auriol

acknowledge alert
by Jurgen.Claessens＠cegeka.be 02 Jun '16

Hello all, Currently we are still running xymon 4.3.17 on our servers, but are looking to update them to the latest version. We acknowledge alerts thru a custom webpage layout that sends it to our 2 servers. In 4.3.17 this worked like a charm, but on the newer versions this does no longer work. I know from 4.3.18 things have been made more secure in part of the acknowledge.sh and stuff, but is there still a way to acknowledge thru http?
