stale PROC checks not going away
by martin.wojak＠ecodev.vic.gov.au 11 Jul '18

I'm having an issue with old PROC checks not being removed. I had a CLASS called "linux2" with 3 PROC checks. A Host was using the linux2 class. I then changed the Host to use the "linux" class. Now the Host is checking for both linux and linux2 PROCs! Hosts.cfg extract: Was 10.0.0.13 MGTserver01 # CLASS:linux2 Now 10.0.0.13 MGTserver01 # CLASS:linux How do I get rid of the old PROCs that aren't required anymore? Tue Jul 10 14:56:28 AEST 2018 - Processes NOT ok green sshd (found 3, req. 1 or more) green proc1 (found 1, req. 1 or more) green proc2 (found 1, req. 1 or more) green proc3 (found 1, req. 1 or more) green rsyslogd (found 1, req. 1 or more) red proc4 (found 0, req. 1 or more) red proc5 (found 0, req. 1 or more) red proc6 (found 0, req. 1 or more) Xymon server version: Xymon 4.3.28-1.el7.terabithia Xymon client version: xymon-client-local.x86_64 - 4.3.28-1.el7 Thanks, Martin. ******************************************************************************** Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources, Government of Victoria, Victoria, Australia.

False positives for hobbit-plugins libs test
by jwinius＠umrk.nl 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

Hi folks, In my environment we use the following: * Debian stretch with xymon 4.3.28-2 * Debian stretch with xymon-client 4.3.28-2 and hobbit-plugins 20170219 * Debian wheezy with xymon-client 4.3.0~beta2.dfsg-9.1+deb7u1 and hobbit-plugins 20120532 It all works fine, except that hobbit-plugins often gives false positives in the 'libs' column, indicating that certain "processes have libs linked that were upgraded". However, in those cases it makes no difference whether the processes are restarted, or even if the machine is rebooted: the processes continue to be flagged falsely. Examples include libvirt-qemu and mysql. It's the same on both of the platforms indicated above. Is there a fix or a reasonable workaround for this problem? Thanks, Jaap

Debian buster: Task libs terminated, status 2
by jwinius＠umrk.nl 10 Jul '18

Hi folks, This is really a bug report and a fix related to the current hobbit-plugins package for Debian buster. Most of my Xymon servers and clients are all running v4.3.28-2 on Debian stretch, but I do have one Debian buster client system running the same Xymon client software version and it had a problem. The libs test for this client failed constantly and had status purple. The clientlaunch.log was full of entries like this: 2018-07-09 10:22:00.240038 Task libs terminated, status 2 More tellingly, the xymonclient.log kept reporting: Mon Jul 9 06:56:35 2018 /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/libs hobbit.pm.uninitialized: Can't locate File/Slurp.pm in @INC (you may need to install the File::Slurp module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.26 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26 /usr/share/perl/5.26 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/libs line 33. Mon Jul 9 06:56:35 2018 /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/libs hobbit.pm.uninitialized: Hobbit::max_color(): No colors given as argument at /usr/share/perl5/Hobbit.pm line 126. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/libs line 33. Hobbit::max_color(): No colors given as argument at /usr/share/perl5/Hobbit.pm line 126. So, this problem was easily fixed by installing an additional Debian package: ~# apt install libfile-slurp-perl In other words, this package needs to be listed as a dependency for hobbit-plugins. Cheers, Jaap

cross compilation and endianness detection
by herzog＠phys.ethz.ch 03 Jul '18

Hi Damien, I just checked and test-endianness is compiled from test-endianness.c - for some reason the one you have doesn't seem to work for you. Can you just do gcc -o test-endianness test-endianness.c and see if that works better? best, -Christian

xymonping overinflated response time
by terry.hurcombe＠brightsolid.com 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hello list. I've noted that since moving some systems from xymon 4.3.17 to 4.3.28 that ping times seem hugely inflated and do not match the response times I see from the command line utilities. 4.3.28 reports 40.2ms vs 0.92ms from 4.3.17. Is this a known issue? Regards, Terry. ________________________________ This message is confidential and may contain privileged information. You should not disclose its contents to any other person.

cross compilation and endianness detection

Hi, I'm trying to compile xymon client for several OpenWRT devices (www.openwrt.org) Most targets are MIPS-based. When trying to compile, I encounter the following error: xymon-4.3.28$ make CC=mips-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc LD=mips-openwrt-linux-musl-ld CC="mips-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc" CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DLINUX -I`pwd`/include -DCLIENTONLY=1" LDFLAGS="" OSDEF="-DLINUX" RPATHOPT="-Wl,--rpath," PCREINCDIR="" ZLIBINCDIR="" SSLFLAGS="" SSLINCDIR="" SSLLIBS="" NETLIBS="" LIBRTDEF="" XYMONTOPDIR="/var/lib/xymon" XYMONHOME="/var/lib/xymon" XYMONCLIENTHOME=/var/lib/xymon XYMONLOGDIR="" XYMONHOSTNAME="" XYMONHOSTIP="A.B.C.D" XYMONHOSTOS="" LOCALCLIENT="no" make -C lib client make[1] : entering « /home/src/xymon-4.3.28/lib » mips-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DLINUX -I/home/src/xymon-4.3.28/include -DCLIENTONLY=1 -I../include `./test-endianness` -c -o sha1.o sha1.c /bin/sh: 1: ./test-endianness: Exec format error sha1.c:38:2: error: #error "Endianness is UNDEFINED" This part is far beyond my computers skills, so I'm requesting some help :)
