Hello,I am trying to setup Oracle monitoring on my Raspberry where I have already setup Xymon server and it works great. Am Loving it :) I am moving ahead with Oracle monitoring as well where I have having difficulty with finding Oracle basic/devel/sqlplus rpm which would work with Raspberrypi. Can somebody please help me with link/name of exact rpm I need to download. I went to the Oracle site ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index.ht… ) mentioned in the Xymon page and downloaded the packages but while converting to Debian format its complaining " oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm is for architecture amd64 ; the package cannot be built on this system " (output below) root at raspberrypi:/home/pi/xymon-oracle# fakeroot alien oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpmoracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm is for architecture amd64 ; the package cannot be built on this systemroot at raspberrypi:/home/pi/xymon-oracle# Please help and advice. Thanks in advance. Regards Manoj Biswakarma (Manoj)

Hello ,Am trying to install Xymon on my Raspberry but getting below error while doing "Make". Can you please adivce where and what I am doing wrong. Even though I have installed c-ares-1.12.0. Please advice. pi at raspberrypi:~/xymon/xymon-4.3.28 $ sudo lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie) Release: 8.0 Codename: jessie pi at raspberrypi:~/xymon/xymon-4.3.28 $ sudo ./configure.server --caresinclude=/usr/local/includ e --careslib=/usr/local/lib Configuration script for Xymon This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon Checking your make-utility Checking pre-requisites for building Xymon Checking for fping ... Xymon has a built-in ping utility (xymonping) However, it is not yet fully stable and therefore it may be best to use the external fping utility instead. I found fping in /usr/local/sbin/fping Do you want to use it [Y/n] ? y Checking to see if '/usr/local/sbin/fping 127.0.0.1' works ... 127.0.0.1 is alive OK, will use '/usr/local/sbin/fping' for ping tests NOTE: If you are using an suid-root wrapper, make sure the 'xymond' user is also allowed to run fping without having to enter passwords. For 'sudo', add something like this to your 'sudoers' file: xymon ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/fping Checking for PCRE ... Compiling with PCRE library works OK Linking with PCRE library works OK Checking for C-ARES library ... Compiling with c-ares library works OK C-ARES version: Found 1.10.0 - too old, will use included version, require 1.12.0 make: *** [Makefile.test-cares:8: test-link] Error 1 ERROR: Cannot link with c-ares library. The system C-ARES library is missing or not usable. I will use the version shipped with Xymon Checking for RRDtool ... Not RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x Compiling with RRDtool works OK Linking with RRDtool works OK Checking for OpenSSL ... Compiling with SSL library works OK Linking with SSL library works OK Checking if your SSL library has SSLv2 enabled Will support SSLv2 when testing SSL-enabled network services Checking if your SSL library has SSLv3 enabled Will support SSLv3 when testing SSL-enabled network services Xymon can use the OpenSSL library to test SSL-enabled services like https-encrypted websites, POP3S, IMAPS, NNTPS and TELNETS. If you have the OpenSSL library installed, I recommend that you enable this. Do you want to be able to test SSL-enabled services (y) ? Regards Manoj Biswakarma (Manoj)

xymon client bindaddress (update)

After further testing: eth0 primary = 192.168.2.56 eth0:0 primary = 192.168.2.55 eth0 secondary = 192.168.2.57 voip1.example.net = 192.168.2.55 When I changed this 192.168.2.56 voip1.example.com (eth0) but voip1 is actually TO 192.168.2.55 voip1.example.com (eth0:0) that is when I get the ghost reports which makes sense. Nothing to do with adding this part: 192.168.2.56 voip1-2.example.com (eth0 on primary) 192.168.2.57 voip1-3.example.com (eth0 on secondary) Well it was working HI!! Here is an except from my hosts.cfg EXAMPLE: 192.168.55.55 eth0:0 192.168.2.56 voip1.example.com (eth0) but voip1 is actually mapped on the DNS to eth0:0 I have xymon-client starting up /home/xymon/runclient.sh --hostname=voip1.example.com Up till now everything runs ok. (I have not tried a failover, as I just wanted to get it to work). Probably report as a ghost when it fails over. When I add this, then I get ghost reports: Weird, xymon-server reports itself as one of the ghosts. 192.168.2.56 voip1-2.example.com (eth0 on primary) 192.168.2.57 voip1-3.example.com (eth0 on secondary) On 6/8/17 9:49 AM, Adam Goryachev wrote: > Just a nudge, consider what I said about monitoring both servers all > the time.

Hi, Is there a way to have the xymon client bind to a specific IP or interface? I have more than one interface on a machine and I am getting ghost reports because I setup xymon for eth0:0 instead of eth0. -- sysadm cronomagic.com/gemstelecom.com e-mail ve2cii at canasoft.net POWERED BY LINUX

Forbidden : You don't have permission /xymon/server

It looks like an Apache problem. Check your Apache logs for errors that might give you hints.

Avoid email storm
by vadud3＠gmail.com 08 Jun '17

xymon is behind a firewall and lately firewall is dying a lot and at restore we are getting email storm about devices that are on other sites. firewall team will have a replacement "soon". In the meantime I guess I should add a depend (first hop) for all 2000+ devices in hosts.cfg file. Is there another option with less editing? Thanks for any suggestion! -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Hi, I think I now have this under control. So you can ignore the previous email. No more ghosts!! Is there a way to have the xymon client bind to a specific IP or interface? I have more than one interface on a machine and I am getting ghost reports because I setup xymon for eth0:0 instead of eth0. -- sysadm cronomagic.com/gemstelecom.com e-mail ve2cii at canasoft.net POWERED BY LINUX
