Problem/Bug? in xymon.cgi with FNPATTERN and dynamic ds-name (Again)

Hi Everyone I run a new installation of xymon 4.3.28 on a RHEL6.9 and I have problems whit custom graphs. The error is: Cannot parse DS in 'DEF:p0=mytest.subline.rrd:subline :AVERAGE' I fixed in an older installation following this old post http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2008/07/msg00379.html But in this version the code it has fixed. In practice I send 2 values from my custom script, the rdd files are created fine, but showgraph can’t parse the second value. I try with this to debug or understand the problem: I have deleted the rrd file for one of values and the result was the graph was shown, whit one line, the expected. I have deleted the second rrd file and recreate the first with the another value and the result was the same. In my opinion there are a problem wiht the "p" value, because is staying in "0" for the second value. Any Idea, or how to fix that? Thanks Hernán

multiple class assignment in hosts.cfg
by dw＠compositiv.com 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hi everybody, I didn't find something on this topic yet, so I thought I'd give it a quick try at the mailing list: Since the class assignment now works like a charm with analysis.cfg and hosts.cfg (thanks a lot for that!) I wondered how I could possibly assign multiple classes to a host. Given an analysis.cfg containing something like this: CLASS=class1 PROC sshd 1 1 CLASS=class2 PROC ntpd 1 1 A hosts.cfg like this only uses the first class provided - "class1" in this case: 1.2.3.4 srv.dom.tld # CLASS:class1 CLASS:class2 While a hosts.cfg like this seems to combine both class names to the new, unhandled group "class1,class2": 1.2.3.4 srv.dom.tld # CLASS:class1,class2 Is there a solution for this already or is it not possible to assign multiple groups to a single host? Thanks a lot in advance, David Winterstein Compositiv GmbH Hammer Deich 30 20537 Hamburg Tel: 040 / 609 4349 0 Fax: 040 / 609 4349 40 Geschäftsführer Matthias Krawen Amtsgericht Hamburg - HRB 122540 USt.-IdNr: DE282432834 Es gelten ausschließlich unsere AGB.

page and paging
by ve2cii＠canasoft.net 15 May '17

Hi, I have found my problem: A page and and a page is not the same thing: HOST=glengarry.cronomagic.com <http://glengarry.cronomagic.com> EXPAGE=md5 MAIL test at cronomagic.com <mailto:test at cronomagic.com> HOST=machine.cronomagic.com <http://machine.cronomagic.com> MAIL frank at cronomagic.com <mailto:frank at cronomagic.com> EXPAGE has nothing to do with an "alert". !! This is what is should look like: HOST=glengarry.cronomagic.com <http://glengarry.cronomagic.com> IGNORE HOST=glengarry.cronomagic.com SERVICE=md5 MAIL test at cronomagic.com <mailto:test at cronomagic.com> I think this should work too: HOST=glengarry.cronomagic.com <http://glengarry.cronomagic.com> IGNORE SERVICE=md5 MAIL test at cronomagic.com <mailto:test at cronomagic.com> I am testing! -- sysadm cronomagic.com/gemstelecom.com e-mail ve2cii at canasoft.net POWERED BY LINUX

Hi, Looks like I may have found a bug. My xymon version 4.3.27. HOST=glengarry.cronomagic.com EXPAGE=md5 MAIL test at cronomagic.com HOST=machine.cronomagic.com MAIL frank at cronomagic.com Stops the paging for test at cronomagic.com but frank at cronomagic.com who has nothing to do with glengarry.cronomagic.com gets paged. I double checked my file to be sure there was nothing else interfering. -- sysadm cronomagic.com/gemstelecom.com e-mail ve2cii at canasoft.net POWERED BY LINUX

acknowledge links

When ack'g an alert it seems as though the acknowledge.sh script uses the info from the last page you visited (actually 1 before the last page). So, when I use a link in an alert email such as this: https://site.somewhere.com/xymon-cgi/acknowledge.sh?ACTION=Ack&NUMBER=408111 It will not actually take me to a page that I would expect where I could ack a particular alert. It may go to a page that says "no active alerts" or it may go to a completely different alert. It all seems to be based on what pages within Xymon I was recently looking at. So, how can I get acknowledge.sh to actually go to the alert that I want to ack? Ubuntu 14.04LTS Xymon 4.3.21 Thanks, John Upcoming PTO: _____________________________________________________________________ John Rothlisberger IT Strategy, Infrastructure & Security - Technology Growth Platform TGP for Business Process Outsourcing Accenture 312.693.3136 office _____________________________________________________________________ ________________________________ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise confidential information.

Windows Powershell client v2.21
by zak.beck＠accenture.com 10 May '17

Hi Kenneth Please see https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/. Documentation is in XymonPSClient.doc. Thanks Zak From: Kenneth S. Petersen [mailto:ksp at stougaards.dk] Sent: 10 May 2017 14:10 To: Beck, Zak <zak.beck at accenture.com> Subject: SV: Windows Powershell client v2.21 Hi Zak, I’m new to the Windows PowerShell Client. Please help with download link and doc link? Thnx Kenneth S. Petersen Fra: Xymon [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] På vegne af Beck, Zak Sendt: 10. maj 2017 15:07 Til: xymon at xymon.com<mailto:xymon at xymon.com> Emne: [Xymon] Windows Powershell client v2.21 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.
