Is anyone else having problems with acknowledge.sh & enadis.sh working from the web page? Ubuntu 16.04LTS I can disable via command line but not via the web interface - no errors in apache logs and no entries in acknowledge.log.

Monitoring ESXi 6.x cpu, disk, memory, procs?
by patterson＠nullamatix.com 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Does anyone have a simple example of how to monitor the usual client stuff on an ESXi host? I was thinking it should be possible for the Xymon server to reach out via SSH, run some commands (esxcli?) and return the output. If the response is null or ssh connection failed, report red. Another thought, /bin/python3.5 is available on ESXi - so perhaps there's a way to run and report the tests with python on the ESXi host itself as a cronjob? My coding skills are still a work in progress so any examples of how to accomplish something like this would be helpful. The list archives reference a lot of old scripts and code for ESXi 4/5 which don't seem to work for ESXi 6.5+ Thanks, Guy

Ubuntu 16.04LTS Hosts.cfg entry: directory /home/xymon/server/etc/include_ssl/a/ File /home/Xymon/server/etc/include_ssl/a/abcdef.acc.com contains: 0.0.0.0 abcdef.acc.com # noconn NOPROPYELLOW:* NOPROPPURPLE:* NOCOLUMNS:http,info,trends ssldays=30:15 https://abcdef.acc.com 0.0.1.0 I am seeing these errors in my alert.log - these particular clients (URL's actually as they are for sslcert tests reside in an include directory): Checking criteria for host 'abcdef.acc.com', which is not yet defined; some alerts may not immediately fire The errors are popping for every file that is in the include_directory. These errors were not present in 4.3.21 - 4.3.28. Ideas?

Double combo - display &unknown - xymon 4.3.28
by dominique.delporte＠gmail.com 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

I have the same problem as in the thread https://lists.xymon.com/archive/2011-September/032469.html Where a patch was suggested here : https://lists.xymon.com/archive/2011-September/032481.html But in fact the problem is always present with combo of combo. I found the solution : update color value in function getstatus So I propose this patch, just adding one line to update color : *color = (walk->result ? COL_GREEN : COL_RED); --- combostatus.c.orig 2019-09-03 14:46:39.221984375 +0200 +++ combostatus.c 2019-09-03 14:50:42.412165047 +0200 @@ -251,6 +251,7 @@ for (walk = testhead; (walk && ( (strcmp(walk->reshostname, hostname) != 0) || (strcmp(walk->restestname, testname) != 0) ) ); walk = walk->next); if (walk != NULL) { /* It is a combo test they want the result of. */ + *color = (walk->result ? COL_GREEN : COL_RED); return walk->result; } dominique DELPORTE

When you're building source, you need the -devel packages too: libtirpc-devel Ralph Mitchell On Tue, Sep 3, 2019 at 8:51 AM Jason Chambers via Xymon <xymon at xymon.com> wrote: > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Jason Chambers <Jason.Chambers at geosoft.com> > To: "xymon at xymon.com" <xymon at xymon.com> > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2019 12:36:18 +0000 > Subject: Trying to install Xymon Client on Fedora Minimum > > Hey All, > > > > I?m attempting to install the Xymon Client on a Fedora minimum install. > Obviously this means I have to install the dependencies myself since they > would not be installed natively.

Trying to install Xymon Client on Fedora Minimum
by Jason.Chambers＠geosoft.com 03 Sep '19

Hey All, I'm attempting to install the Xymon Client on a Fedora minimum install. Obviously this means I have to install the dependencies myself since they would not be installed natively. But I'm currently stuck as to why I cannot compile. gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -I/usr/include/tirpc -Wno-pointer-sign -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DLINUX -I/home/seequent/xymon-4.3.29/include -DCLIENTONLY=1 -c -o xymon.o xymon.c gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -I/usr/include/tirpc -Wno-pointer-sign -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DLINUX -I/home/seequent/xymon-4.3.29/include -DCLIENTONLY=1 -o ../client/xymon xymon.o ../lib/libxymonclientcomm.a -ltirpc ../lib/libxymonclient.a /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltirpc collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [Makefile:46: ../client/xymon] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/seequent/xymon-4.3.29/common' make: *** [build/Makefile.rules:96: common-client] Error 2 Funny thing is libtirpc is already installed, it doesn't make sense why it cannot find it. dnf install libtirpc Fedora Modular 30 - x86_64 48 kB/s | 16 kB 00:00 Fedora Modular 30 - x86_64 - Updates 47 kB/s | 16 kB 00:00 Fedora 30 - x86_64 - Updates 159 kB/s | 16 kB 00:00 Fedora 30 - x86_64 54 kB/s | 16 kB 00:00 Package libtirpc-1.1.4-2.rc2.fc30.1.x86_64 is already installed.
