usemultipart during report generation (minor)
by conor＠conormccarthy.ie 19 Jun '20

19 Jun '20

Hi there, a rogue "\n" prevents (some) browsers from handling the content and meta- refresh during report generation. Per-spec, headers follow immediately after the multipart separator line. Applies to xymon-4.4 alpha. see attached for a trivial patch. Thanks & regards, Conor.

Terabithia or compile
by john.thurston＠alaska.gov 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

Ahh, the age-old question . . Last time I installed a xymon server, it was on Solaris and I compiled from source. I now need to deploy a new server on linux (specifically CentOS). What say ye? A) yum install from Terabithia B) make from source -- -- Do things because you should, not just because you can.

Display xymon server modules on own line
by kunci＠struzak.com 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

My old hobbit config:127.0.0.1???? localhost? # noconn bbd NAME:"xymon server modules"group Servers<server1-ip>? server1? ? # http://server1/???? NOCOLUMNS:files,ports<server2-ip>? server2??? # http://server2/path NOCOLUMNS:files,ports<server3-ip>? ... ... used to display hobbit-server-specific tests separate from the other tests, even though the modules reported actually run on server1.? This was a nifty trick not to have these tests listed for all servers, with only server1 reporting, and others displaying dashes. After moving to xymon, on the "xymon server modules" I only see bbd, info, and trends; xymond, xymongen, and xymonnet magically moved to the server1 line, defeating the purpose of this split. How can I achieve this split, where xymon server modules are listed on their own line? --Marcin

[xymon] Terabithia RPMs still active?

Not working? Hmmn, news to me ... -- root at vm-fed ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 31 (Thirty One) [root at vm-fed ~]# rpm -q xymon-client xymon-client-local xymon-client-4.3.30-1.fc31.x86_64 xymon-client-local-4.3.30-1.fc31.x86_64 -- Oh yeah, now I remember - Japheth built some weird (unnecessary?) dependency upon "/bin/dash" into the Fedora 31 RPMs that I couldn't get to resolve, even though "/bin/dash" existed. I kludged around it via this temporary hack (I'll take "working" over "efficiency" any day): -- [root at vm-fed SPECS]# diff -rC 1 xymon.spec.rpmsave xymon.spec *** xymon.spec.rpmsave 2020-01-20 14:00:21.000000000 -0800 --- xymon.spec 2020-06-12 23:03:36.482862568 -0700 *************** *** 56,58 **** --- 56,62 ---- %else + %if 0%{?fedora} < 30 %global shell /bin/dash + %else + %global shell /bin/sh + %endif %endif -- and rebuilding the RPMs from the spec file. (Hopefully this will drag him out of the woodwork to berate me for doing this.) - Greg

Terabithia RPMs still active?
by kunci＠struzak.com 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Does anybody know if terabithia.org is still maintaining Fedora RPMs for xymon?? I exchanged emails with Japheth over half a year ago, but have not received any replies to more recent inquiries; RPMs for Fedora 31 are not working and for 32 are missing altogether; the latest changes in Testing are from early May. Alternatively, does anyone know of another repo with Fedora 31 or 32 RPMs for xymon? --Marcin

Is it possible to recreate rrd from hostdata?
by rhansen21＠dxc.com 11 Jun '20

11 Jun '20

Hi In one of my Xymon systems the rrd status and rrd data processes was consuming 100% cpu and was crashing/restarting in a loop due to misconfiguration. This resulted in a gap in my rrd files and missing data when running perfdata.cgi report. Is there an easy way to run rrd manually on hostdata to fill out the gaps in the rrd files? REN?

Xymon Dependancies configuration.
by me＠tdiehl.org 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

Hi, I am trying to configure xymon dependencies so that if the core router is down my xymon server only pages me for the core router. In reading the man page it says to do something like the following: 1.2.3.4 cg1.example.com # noconn https://cg1.example.com depends=(http:router.example.com/conn) The above works for a single service but the above host for example has http and sslcert. How can I tell xymon that if router.example.com is down all of the other services for a host should go clear? I tried setting the service to a * that does not work. and I tried listing services separated with either a comma or a pipe but no joy. Is this even possible? Even adding a 2nd depends statement does not work. Also is there a way to test the syntax to know if I got it right short of waiting for 5 or 10 minutes to see if it worked? Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org

why nfs mounts are excluded from xymon analysis
by Max.Xu＠servicenow.com 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

HI, I see xymon analysis.cfg DISK settings not covering nfs mounts because they are excluded from [df]. We have use cases to cover disk usage on nfs mounts. If I change xymonclient-linux.sh to un-exclude nfs and nfs4, is there any potential side effects given I don?t know the reasons why they are currently being excluded. Thanks, -Max

Sorry to bother you ... But I was wondering if you could possibly Help us ... with a weird Issue we started having this Week () If so here it is: At some point for the past couple of night, we started receiving the following ALERT: &red XymonPSClient: No matching service - want started/automatic But when I look on the Windows Server, under the (Windows mmc) Service window, it is shown as Started ? But Xymon doesn?t see it as such ? Now what is weird is that the ClientLog does list it, but under the SVCS button ? I don?t see all of the Services almost all but the last portion is missing (depending on how many there are ... the more there are I guess the more I would be missing) ? So I was thinking that it might be related to some sort of a VARIABLE Type or Buffer Size (Limitation) that is just not big enough ... but when I looked at the ?xymonclient.ps1?, there are way too many lines for me to understand all of it an try to figure out what I would need to change :$ Also I only fiddle a Little bit in PowerShell so my skills are at best at the Beginner Level ? Thus this is why I am taking a Chance sending you this Email Here are a few Screenshot to try to show you the Issue and what I saw there leaning me towards the Incorrect Variable Type or Buffer Size [Previous content & Screenshot were REMOVED, to lighten this mail ?] This email message (including its attachments) is confidential and may contain privileged information and is intended solely for the use of the individual and/or entity to whom it is addressed.
