I managed to solve the problem on my own. I simply disabled SELinux by editing "/etc/selinux/config" file, replacing "SELINUX=enforcing" with "SELINUX=permissive", and then I rebooted the computer. Now everything works fine. Thank you for your help ! François Bauduin 2016-07-06 11:46 GMT+02:00 Bauduin, François <francois.bauduin at solvay.com>: > In my case, the user is "apache".

Thank you Jeremy for your suggestion! I have run this command on the client, but I don't know what conclusions can I draw from it.

NORRDDISKS seems to be ignored
by bferrell＠baywinds.org 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

I have automounts for iso images. As they are of fixed size and "full", they show up as 100% use and inode alarms. To avoid this, I've added the automount path(s) to NORRDDISKS in xymonserver.cfg and they still alarm until they are no longer in use and the automounter dismounts the image. Thoughts anyone?

Fwd: Error : Cannot load host configuration

Indeed, 'ipaddress' corresponds to the server's IP address and 'clientipaddress' is the IP address of the computer I use (the server is on a Linux computer but I use a Windows one to work).

Include links to static webpages
by christian.becker＠rhein-zeitung.net 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hello, does anybody have an idea on how to include links to static webpages? Reason behind that is, that i have 4 servers running apache webserver, and I have set up webalizer on those. Now I want to include the links to the webalizer installations on these servers in my Xymon.

I found. Format %zu should be used for size_t, but bufsz defined as off_t: #ifdef _LARGEFILE_SOURCE off_t bufsz; #else long bufsz; #endif %zu should be changed to %llu or size_t should be used for bufsz. -- Regards, Sergey

Things got even more interesting. I added fourth format and it contans real MAXCHECK (I increased it to 2048000) value: - errprintf("logfetch: %s delta %zu bytes exceeds max buffer size %zu; skipping some data\n", filename, bufsz, MAXCHECK); + errprintf("logfetch: %s delta %zu bytes exceeds max buffer size %zu,%zu; skipping some data\n", filename, bufsz, MAXCHECK); A log string now: 2016-07-04 17:26:21.345027 logfetch: /var/log/mail/all delta 9443833 bytes exceeds max buffer size 0,2048000; skipping some data -- Regards, Sergey
