hi there, I am wondering if Xymon supports SNMP and if it does how would i best go about setting up SNMP to monitor my LAN and then graph the bytes useage? Thanks in advance. -- Med Vänliga Hälsningar / Kind Regards *Oskar*

Hey there, i am quite new to Xymon but I am wondering if it is possible to setup an SNMP graph?, so that it will monitor for example the LAN traffic between my devices on my LAN. Kind Regards Oskar --

Convert bb-mdstat for Variables XYMON - MDADM Changes config on Reboot even when in GOOD STATUS - Script not working
by thomas.eckert＠it-eckert.de 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

John, (cc’ed the list) unfortunately this re-ordering happens. — not only for mdraid (linux soft raid) but also for megaraid (LSI controllers) for instance. Without sacrificing the simplicity of `raid-monitor` I see no solution for this. Excluding lines that might permute _could_ be an option but at the risk of “missing” some bad state of the RAID. That being said: In a server setup where machines typically do not boot that often that’s an acceptable trade-off (for me). To ease the “recreate reference file”-pain you could have a mini-script (ssh line) on the xymon-server that re-creates the file after you checked the raid-status on the Xymon web interface (`ssh my-server ‘/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/raid-monitor -r`). All the best Thomas > On 25 Jul 2016, at 01:14, FreeSoftwareServers <freesoftwareservers at gmail.com> wrote: > > I love this concept, but it seems to have a flaw with MDADM.

SSH - Make Red if ACTIVE
by freesoftwareservers＠gmail.com 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

I have set up XYMon and XYMon - Client successfully today! But I have an interesting situation, I have services like my Routers and esxi servers where I want XYMon to go RED if SSH is ENABLED. It should be disabled for security, can I make it so it runs the other way around then normal? I Apologize if this is written somewhere and super easy, I couldn't find it! PS: I had a hard time getting client to work, if I can make a polite suggestion for the this webpage >> http://xymon.sourceforge.net/xymon/help/xymon-tips.html#noclient Basically that cat /etc/default/xymon-client | grep CLIENTHOSTNAME must match XYMon-Server's /etc/xymon/hosts.cfg. 1.2.3.4 CLIENTHOSTNAME # Extra Params I understand that it is implied in the text, but this might make things much easier to fix for those of us looking to solve the issue of "The client is using another hostname than what is in the hosts.cfg file."

Trying to implement, fw-conntrack, RRD doesn't like the data, won't generate graphs

I've implemented fw-conntrack, per http://www.bakarasse.de/pages/en/xymon-plugins/client-side-plugins/fw-connt…. All seems well EXCEPT that no graphs are being generated.

extcombo problem
by dave＠collegenet.com 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

I have a xymon server running 4.3.0~beta2.dfsg-9.1+deb7u1 receiving reports from a bbnet server running 4.3.17-6+deb8u1 and they are not compatible due to the new "extcombo" reporting. The changelog says that the "extcombo" thing was added in version 4.3.13. Even after disabling "combostatus" in tasks.cfg, xymonnet still uses "extcombo". Without a way to disable it, we're partially broken right now. Any suggestions? Dave Fogarty -- Senior System Administrator CollegeNET.com
