Increasing --ping-tasks makes TCP Connection Times more plausible
by lk＠man-da.de 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

Hi List, I experienced a bit strange behavior with xymonnet. I wondered for a long time about the high (and place uncorrelated) values in the "TCP Connections Times" graph. peer1.sara.ams (which is about 600km away from our xymon-Server) had the same 40ms (sometimes even only 20ms) as core1.sm.tu.da (which is 2 racks 3 devices away). Last week I played with the ping-task parameter on the xymonnet Commandline in tasks.cfg. And this changed the value for core1.sm.tu.da from 40ms to 761,4?s, which ist much more like the Ping RTT. The times for peer1.sara.ams changed from 20ms to 11ms, which also much more plausible. kollstedt at nms:~$ ping -c 2 core1.sm.tu.da.man-da.net PING core1.sm.tu.da.man-da.net (82.195.67.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from core1.sm.tu.da.man-da.net (82.195.67.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=62 time=0.634 ms 64 bytes from core1.sm.tu.da.man-da.net (82.195.67.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=62 time=0.629 ms --- core1.sm.tu.da.man-da.net ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.629/0.631/0.634/0.025 ms kollstedt at nms:~$ ping -c 2 peer1.sara.ams.man-da.net PING peer1.sara.ams.man-da.net (82.195.67.14) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from peer1.sara.ams.man-da.net (82.195.67.14): icmp_seq=1 ttl=250 time=6.40 ms 64 bytes from peer1.sara.ams.man-da.net (82.195.67.14): icmp_seq=2 ttl=250 time=6.39 ms --- peer1.sara.ams.man-da.net ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 6.397/6.400/6.404/0.080 ms But I'm worrying about this behavior. Does xymonnet take the time waiting for a ping thread into the time measurement? Or is there an other reason for this behavior.

Apache problem.

I now have Xymon built and running.? But I am unable to view the web interface.? I copied the xymon apache config file to /etc/conf.d directory and have confirmed that permissions are set to allow apache all the way in.? It is failing with this error: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /home/xymon/server/www/index.html strace shows: [pid? 4941] stat("/home/xymon/server/www/index.html", 0x7ffd6bd288a0) = -1 EACCE S (Permission denied) here is the directory listing: [root at monsrv www]# ls -la total 60 drwxr-xr-x. 10 xymon apache?? 195 Sep 24 13:24 . drwxr-xr-x.? 9 xymon apache?? 104 Sep 24 12:17 .. -rw-r--r--.? 1 xymon xymon?? 5283 Sep 24 13:24 critical.html drwxr-xr-x.? 2 xymon apache? 4096 Sep 24 12:17 gifs drwxr-xr-x.? 3 xymon apache? 4096 Sep 24 12:17 help drwxr-xr-x.? 2 xymon apache???? 6 Sep 24 12:17 html lrwxrwxrwx.? 1 xymon xymon???? 10 Sep 24 13:24 index.html -> xymon.html drwxr-xr-x.? 2 xymon apache?? 138 Sep 24 12:17 menu -rw-r--r--.? 1 xymon xymon? 21609 Sep 24 13:24 nongreen.html drwxr-xr-x.? 2 xymon apache???? 6 Sep 24 12:17 notes -rw-r--r--.? 1 xymon xymon?? 7193 Sep 24 13:24 red.html drwxrwxr-x.? 2 xymon apache???? 6 Sep 24 12:17 rep drwxrwxr-x.? 2 xymon apache???? 6 Sep 24 12:17 snap drwxr-xr-x.? 2 xymon apache???? 6 Sep 24 12:17 wml -rw-r--r--.? 1 xymon xymon? 12044 Sep 24 13:24 xymon.html Not sure if the fact that xymon.html is set to 644 or not.?

Howto authorized * customer01 to go only to xymon/CLIENTS/customer01 * customer02 to go only to xymon/CLIENTS/customer02 * customer03 to go only to xymon/CLIENTS/customer03 ... * and me (admin) to go everywhere ? Of course customer can't use * "views" menu * "reports" menu * "administration" menu ==> except if i can limit for each CLIENT/customer i have a look to xymongen ... by i'm not undersdant how to use it to limit only CLIENTS/customerXX i heard about xymonproxy, but i'm sure to understand how to use it for my use. -- Cordialement, Gr?gory

OpenSSL and OpenLDAP
by trever＠tandj.org 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

I have been fighting this thing all night.? Trying to install xymon on Centos 7 inside of virtualbox.? openldap complains about openssl and openssl does not make it past the configure script. Keeps getting this: Checking for OpenSSL ... Compiling with SSL library works OK /bin/ld: cannot find -ltirpc collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [test-link] Error 1 Warning: Cannot link with SSL library OpenSSL include- or library-files not found. Although you can use Xymon without OpenSSL, you will not be able to run network tests of SSL-enabled services, e.g. https. So installing OpenSSL is recommended. OpenSSL can be found at http://www.openssl.org/ If you have OpenSSL installed, use the "--sslinclude DIR" and "--ssllib DIR" options to configure to specify where they are. Continuing with SSL support disabled. I have tried to use the packages from yum and tried to build them from scratch and nothing seems to work.? Any ideas?

Xymon script for linux
by tlusty＠vse.cz 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Hello, the script xymonclient-linux.sh is using commands like ifconfig, netstat, etc. These commands are marked as depreciated and some of the Linux distributions have removed them already. For example SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 has no support for netstat and ifconfig. The replacement are commands from iproute2 package like ip, ss, routel, etc. Are there any plan to replace depreciated commands with new ones? BR, Zdenek Tlusty

/var/lib/xymon/rrd folders growing larger than anticipated
by danyiem＠vcu.edu 21 Sep '19

21 Sep '19

Morning all, We are currently running Xymon 4.3.28-1.el7.terabithia (on CentOS 7.x) and I have been struggling with this since we switched to the RPMs from an older version of xymon built from source about a year ago. We've gone from a few GB on the old server to now almost 40GB just for this directory. I posed the question a little while back to the group and thought I had found the cause in the rrddefinitions.cfg file under the line: RRA:HWPREDICT:8064:0.1:0.0035:2016 I tried a few different things but ended up deciding to comment out this line to see if it would slow the growth, but it does not appear to be working. Is there any reason these files would be increasing in number or size? Is there something I can do with rrdtool to clean up data? Is it normal that an rrd directory for a single host is upwards of 60M on the newer versions of Xymon? Here is an example of the files in a folder for a host: [root at xymon]# du -h --max-depth=1 /var/lib/xymon/rrd/server.example/* 216K /var/lib/xymon/rrd/server.example/clock.rrd 424K

these look like reasonable file sizes/number of files compared to everyone else? How much space should we reasonably expect to use for this given we have roughly 1k hosts being monitored (mix of Windows and Linux).
