RRD Files not being updated when sending to trends
by dl1025＠att.com 15 Jan '19

When I am sending rrd data to trends and including multiple rrds, two of my rrds are not being updated all the time when they should be. These are the two that are not being updated for some reason: otmvalchk.b2b_orders_-_scm.rrd otmvalchk.rl_to_garage_orders_-_scm.rrd The following is the syntax that I use from the script to send the data to trends. I checked rrd logs and there is no issues found. Could you please tell me what I might be doing wrong? /opt/app/workload/bbapp/bb/server/bin/bb blpv0379.bhdc.att.com "data orderoutoracleotm.trends [otmvalchk.b2b_orders_-_scm.rrd] DS:TOTAL:GAUGE:3600:0:U 0 [otmvalchk.dtv_orders_-_scm.rrd] DS:TOTAL:GAUGE:3600:0:U 68 [otmvalchk.rl_to_garage_orders_-_scm.rrd] DS:TOTAL:GAUGE:3600:0:U 330 [otmvalchk.total.rrd] DS:TOTAL:GAUGE:3600:0:U 398"

Dear Xymon Members I just want to inquire about the issue on my xymon setup. When I click on the icon, it can show the details with error "cannot load host configuration" and then after a second it will show next the error "The requested URL /xymon-cgi/30 was not found on this server.".

CPU/Disks/memory for xymon clients
by Devvkanth.K＠infosys.com 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Hi, I would like to know the solution for the below issues 1. I am actually having trouble loading CPU ,Memory and Disk in Xymon clients , but in the Xymon server it is working fine. Can you please explain how the data is populated for clients in these columns. 2. The uptime status is listed as a separate column after modifying the tasks.cfg file and modified the protocols.cfg file for uptime as "options banner" and I m not getting the correct output. May I know what needs to be done here. 3. I would like to know if there is any way that I can remove existing parameters ,I can do the removal for additional parameters by removing in the hosts.cfg file but it does not get removed , so I had to use "drop hostname parameter" . But for the existing ones I am not able to remove it even using that. [cid:image001.png at 01D4A9E1.049E0E70] Thanks and Regards, Devvkanth K Unix SME

Limits in analysis.cfg doesn't work after update to 4.3.28

Hello Xymon-specialists, after i update our xymon-server from 4.3.17 to 4.3.28 the limits (load, memory) in the analysis.cfg doesn't work. Configs for SVG, PROC or PORT works fine. The update also was from RHEL6 to RHEL7 and httpd-2.2 to httpd-2.4. We are using the powershell-client (v. 2.28).

Xymon PS Client - v2.34
by tlwilliams4＠vcu.edu 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

Zak, I've been testing the new v2.34 PS client before elevating into production environment. I've found that the ServiceCheck function skips out without checking any service status, unless there is a discrete 'noservicecheck' entry in the clientconfig.cfg file. Having only 'servicecheck:' entries are inoperative. I have fixed it on my copy by encapsulating the subroutine for noservicecheck (about lines 2466 to 2522) in another if statement. if ($serviceexclds -ne "") { .. for each.. } ending just before the writelog ("Checking service..) *Timothy L.

Xymon client in localmode (debian linux)
by john.thurston＠alaska.gov 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

I've got a Raspberry Pi running "Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)". I'm able to apt-get install xymon-client Which installs 4.3.28-2, and I'm able to use the xymon 'ping' message to get an answer from my xymon server. Now I need to make the client work in local-config mode. I've added the ip address and fqdn of the host in the hosts.cfg on my xymon server. It appears on the web page, and xymonnet tests work and are displayed. The host is not present in the 'ghosts' report. I've figured out I can get the client to report fqdn by appending --hostname=foo.bar.com to xymonclient.sh in /etc/xymon/clientlaunch.cfg I tried appending --local to the same line, but the client still does not seem to be doing anything for me. The user xymon has a couple of processes running: vmstat xymonlaunch the clientlaunch.log file contains a couple of lines: > xymonlaunch starting > Loading tasklist configuration from /etc/xymon/clientlaunch.cfg I can use the xymon command to explicitly send a 'status' message to the xymon server, and it is accepted and displayed. Can anyone help me get this client running in local-config mode? -- Do things because you should, not just because you can.

adding a custom test in linux client
by Alessandro.Tinivelli＠faacgroup.com 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Good day, i was trying to monitor some "health data" of a SAP server running on linux. In particular to monitor some output from the dpmon sap utility. I run (every 4 minutes) in crontab a script that writes interesting metrics in a file: /tmp/dia.txt (it was too difficult to run dpmon utility with xymon user) Then I added in clientlaunch.cfg these lines [dia] ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/bin/dia.sh LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTLOGS/dia.log INTERVAL 5m It seems that it runs, because dia.log has this content Fri Dec 28 17:52:01 CET 2018 DialogProcessesRunning:0 DialogProcessesAvailable:20 Fri Dec 28 17:56:01 CET 2018 DialogProcessesRunning:0 DialogProcessesAvailable:20 Fri Dec 28 18:00:01 CET 2018 DialogProcessesRunning:0 DialogProcessesAvailable:20 It's not clear for me how to let these info appear in xymon web page. If I look at the clientlog from the xymon web page I don'see these data I'm trying to send from the client. What's missing? Something on client side or both sides? Thanks! Alessandro Tinivelli

xymon and sensu integration
by Chethana.Poorlupadi＠colt.net 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Hi, Any one is aware of any existing scripts to integrate sensu and xymon tools? Our requirement is to send the data collected by sensu to xymon and use xymon as front end to users to view graphs and metric values. Sensu can send the output in json format. Can xymon read and process the json format files? Thanks, Chethana [Colt Disclaimer] This email is from an entity of the Colt group of companies.
