xymon "hostinfo" does not honour tags set by `.default.`
by thomas.eckert＠it-eckert.de 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Brothers, I found that the information returned by `xymon 127.0.0.1 "hostinfo"` does not honour tags by `.default.`. Steps to reproduce: root at pi3:/etc/xymon# egrep -i 'default|pi3' hosts.cfg 0.0.0.0 .default. # nosslcert 127.0.0.1 pi3 # bbd http://pi3/ root at pi3:/etc/xymon# xymon 127.0.0.1:1984 "hostinfo host=^pi3" pi3|127.0.0.1|bbd|http://pi3/ (note the missing `nosslcert`-tag) Not using `.default.` the correct set of tags is returned: root at pi3:/etc/xymon# egrep -i 'default|pi3' hosts.cfg 127.0.0.1 pi3 # bbd http://pi3/ nosslcert root at pi3:/etc/xymon# xymon 127.0.0.1:1984 "hostinfo host=^pi3" pi3|127.0.0.1|bbd|http://pi3/|nosslcert This makes `hostinfo` not a usable source for getting the monitoring configuration for hosts or prevents the use of `.default.`. All the best Thomas

Graphing Question
by dl1025＠att.com 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

I was hoping you can give me some advice in regard to graphing data. I have data coming in that is posted in xymon with HTML tags. I need to parse the data out and post it into rrdtool then display it on the status page. I am fairly new to xymon, in BB I used bb-larrd.pl to parse the data and post it into rrd. What is the best way of doing it in xymon? I think there are several ways of accomplishing this in xymon if I am not mistaken: 1. As the data comes into xymon and displays on the status message, I can parse out the data that I need and send it through the rrd channel 2. I could also within the script that generates the data include an rrd module that will create the rrd file and post the results that I need directly to the rrdtool, but then I need to include it where so it can appear on the status page Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Here is an example of the data that I want to graph. This is how it appears on the status page.

request: xymonnet lookup failure of fully qualified name ending in .local with dialup tag shouldn't be an error
by rlhamil2＠gmail.com 22 Oct '17

22 Oct '17

Given that .local is reserved for Multicast DNS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local#Multicast_DNS_.28mDNS.29_standard <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local#Multicast_DNS_.28mDNS.29_standard> which is usually resolved by a response by the host in question to a multicast query, if the host is tagged "dialup", it seems to me that it should not be an error (i.e. not of itself cause xymonnet's status to go yellow). If an MDNS name isn't resolvable, and the host is tagged as dialup...heck, it's probably perfectly normal. When my laptop (named "lapple") is at home, lapple.local resolves; when it isn't, it doesn't resolve*. In other words, I'm asking for a special case of treating unresolvable the same as unreachable only when all of three conditions apply: name has 0.0.0.0 in hosts.cfg (external resolution); name ends in .local; "dialup" tag present. A fourth condition - that xymonnet was run with the --no-ares option (or building without c-ares support, I suppose) could also be applied, in the non-recommended case of someone having .local resolved by an internal unicast DNS server. * something might be responding on its behalf, but that's not the norm.

Windows Powershell client v2.21
by zak.beck＠accenture.com 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

Hi v2.21 of XymonPSClient has been committed. This has a couple of new minor features and a minor fix, as follows: * Added reporting data to the server using UTF8 encoding. This is optional and the default remains to use ASCII. Use at your own risk - there's a possibility that not all server compiles will support receiving UTF8. (thanks Luboš Pavlíček) * Added the ability to include 'local' data in the core client message. This replicates functionality found in the Linux client - basically you can have external scripts write data to a file under the local folder (location specified by setting localdatalocation) and it will get written to a section in the client message like [local:<filename>]. You can then use a command like this to retrieve it: xymon 0 "clientlog <client host> section=local:<filename>" (thanks David Boyer for the inspiration!) * Fixed the Powershell provider appearing in file, log, dirsize and other tests - you would have only seen this if you were using UNC paths, it would have appeared like this: [file:Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::\\server\share\filename.txt], it should now appear like this: [file:\\server\share\filename.txt] I have also updated the documentation to include the new features. I have also updated nssm.exe in the repository. If you are running the client on Windows 10 Creator's Edition, you will need to use this new updated nssm.exe.

no client results arrive, lot of TIME_WAIT at server - SOLVED
by norbert.kriegenburg＠de.ibm.com 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

Hm, this was a tricky one, but Thomas pointed me to the environment check which then leads to the solution. Thanks! I double checked the env for the xymon: $ xymoncmd /usr/bin/env | egrep -i home PATH=/home/xymon/client/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/etc PWD=/home/xymon HOME=/home/xymon _=/home/xymon/server/bin/xymoncmd XYMONHOME=/home/xymon/client XYMONCLIENTHOME=/home/xymon/client XYMON=/home/xymon/client/bin/xymon XYMONTMP=/home/xymon/client/tmp XYMONCLIENTLOGS=/home/xymon/client/logs XYMONRUNDIR=/home/xymon/client/logs LOCAL_CLIENTCONFIG=/home/xymon/client/etc/localclient.cfg LOCAL_LOGFETCHCFG=/home/xymon/client/etc/logfetch.cfg HOBBITCLIENTHOME=/home/xymon/client BBHOME=/home/xymon/client BB=/home/xymon/client/bin/xymon BBTMP=/home/xymon/client/tmp BBCLIENTLOGS=/home/xymon/client/logs XYMONHOME points to the client dir, even if in xymonserver.cfg is defined: XYMONHOME="/home/xymon/server" # The Xymon server directory, where programs and configurations So the serverprogs use the binaries from the client? This also explains why some commands were not found or only worked with relative path, because they do not exist in a usual client bin dir. It was a fresh compiled xymon, so i checked the binaries. I then found out that the XYMONHOME is compiled into the binaries. During manual copy of the different progs into the client and server bin dirs (it is a hardened environment were i don't have root access even for xymon install) obviously i mixed up some client binaries into server bindir. This then leads to those strange effects. Now i replaced the server bins with the ones from the common dir in source tree, and all is good. $ xymoncmd /usr/bin/env | egrep -i home PATH=/home/xymon/server/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin PWD=/home/xymon/server/logs HOME=/home/xymon _=/home/xymon/server/bin/xymoncmd OLDPWD=/home/xymon XYMONHOME=/home/xymon/server XYMONCLIENTHOME=/home/xymon/client XYMONSERVERROOT=/home/xymon/server XYMONSERVERLOGS=/home/xymon/server/logs XYMONRUNDIR=/home/xymon/server/run XYMONTMP=/home/xymon/server/tmp HOSTSCFG=/home/xymon/server/etc/hosts.cfg XYMON=/home/xymon/server/bin/xymon I wonder if it is necessary to have those path hardcoded, or if this can be replaced by generally using the environment vars? Then we don't need to deal with different binaries for client and server with the same name. But as always, thx for the great tool and the help of the community!

All looks good, but the clients only show the network tests (conn, ssh). Only the Xymon server itself shows everything (disk, cpu,...). - all clients are RH 7.4, same install image used (i just copied over the client part with client config, create a cronjob for automatic start, so no root access nor extra install needed) - nothing suspicious in server or client logs (even in debug mode) - no ghosts - if i send a test manually (the old BB way) this shows at Xymon immediately (so the client settings are ok) - if i shutdown the xymond at server, the client logs complains: 2017-10-19 05:09:18.051994 Whoops ! Failed to send message (Connection failed) 2017-10-19 05:09:18.052104 -> Could not connect to Xymon daemon at 10.137.56.43:1984 (Connection refused) (so obviously they communicate) Querying the xymond shows: xymon 127.0.0.1 "query clientname.ssh" green  Thu Oct 19 05:21:29 2017 ssh ok is ok, but xymon 127.0.0.1 "query clientname.disk" shows nothing Any ideas?

Custom RRD definition help
by Scot.Kreienkamp＠la-z-boy.com 19 Oct '17

Hi everyone, I have a test that only executes once per hour, so I am trying to setup a custom RRD definition with a 60 minute step to capture the data. The test is working and is sending its data back as a data message and the RRD file is being created, so all that is setup properly. If I dump the RRD file I can find the most recent value within the last_ds field in the RRD file, but none of the values are ever stored. I'm stumped as to why, hopefully someone can help clue me in. Thanks!
