I am very interested in your integration efforts. How do you select what is going to be inserted in the ELK stack? All status messages that Xymon receives? And could you provide an example of the xymond_channel block in you task.cfg and the capture.sh? Tasks.cfg probably is something like: [es] ... CMD xymond_channel --channel=status /home/xymon/server/ext/capture.sh ... And the capture.sh contains some curl script to the ELK stack? Regards, Peter 2016-12-14 18:15 GMT+01:00 OUTTERYCK Francois <francois.outteryck at soprasteria.com<mailto:francois.outteryck at soprasteria.com>>: Hello, I just do a small work with Xymon in order to send status data to Elasticsearch. And with Kibana reporting is easy. How it work ? Simple : With capture of status message (xymond_channel --channel=status /home/xymon/server/ext/capture.sh ) script encode status message in json and send as document in elasticSearch. Example of Mapping document status in elasticsearch : "status"=> array( "properties"=>array( "ServerName"=> array("type"=> "string"), "Type"=> array("type"=> "string"), "Status"=> array("type"=> "string"), "LastChange"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"), "LogTime"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"), "ValidTime"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"), "AckTime"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"), "DisableTime"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"), "Sender"=> array("type"=> "string"), "DisableMSg"=> array("type"=> "string"), "Message"=> array("type"=> "string") ) ) All is done with a 130 lines script. So simple to integrate in existing environment and so powerfull usage of Xymon/elasticsearch/Kibana For those who don’t know kibana : https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana [cid:image001.png at 01D25EA3.F74489F0] _______________________________________________ Xymon mailing list Xymon at xymon.com<mailto:Xymon at xymon.com> http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon

Terabithia or compile
by ralphmitchell＠gmail.com 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

I downloaded the source rpm and installed it. The spec file for building the RPMs contains this: %if %{without trunk} %if 0%{?rhel} <= 7 Requires: ntp %endif %endif So, yeah, it builds into the binary RPMs the requirement to pull in ntp. I'm not sure if that can be made into a conditional, to require ntp OR chrony.

random errors with imaps/pop3s servers offering TLS 1.3
by lolo＠troll.free.org 10 Aug '21

Hi, I have found an issue when trying to monitor imaps and pop3s server offering TLS1.3 . My xymon server configuration: # freebsd-version -u 12.0-RELEASE-p5 # openssl version OpenSSL 1.1.1a-freebsd 20 Nov 2018 standard freebsd xymon-server pkg : # pkg info xymon-server-4.3.28 xymon-server-4.3.28 Name : xymon-server Version : 4.3.28 Installed on : Fri Feb 22 14:19:11 2019 CET Origin : net-mgmt/xymon-server Architecture : FreeBSD:12:amd64 Prefix : /usr/local Categories : net-mgmt www Licenses : GPLv2 Maintainer : feld at FreeBSD.org WWW : http://xymon.sourceforge.net/ Comment : System for monitoring servers and networks Options : DEBUG : off LDAP : off NETSNMP : off Shared Libs required: libcares.so.2 libpng16.so.16 libpcre.so.1 librrd.so.8 Annotations : FreeBSD_version: 1200086 cpe : cpe:2.3:a:xymon:xymon:4.3.28:::::freebsd12:x64 repo_type : binary repository : FreeBSD Flat size : 26.5MiB ... # ldd /usr/local/www/xymon/server/bin/xymonnet /usr/local/www/xymon/server/bin/xymonnet: libcares.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libcares.so.2 (0x80027c000) libssl.so.111 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.111 (0x800297000) libcrypto.so.111 => /lib/libcrypto.so.111 (0x80032c000) libpcre.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.1 (0x800619000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x8006bd000) libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x800ab0000) When trying to monitor a pop3s or imaps server offering tls 1.3, I got random errors: WARNING: Flapping status Service imaps on xxx is not OK : Unexpected service response If I monitor the same services on an other server not offering tls 1.3, all is fine. Both servers where running dovecot. I wrote an extension in perl using IO::Socket::SSL (and the same local openssl) to monitor the server offerng tls 1.3 and all is fine with it. For some strange reason, I can monitor a https web servers (running nginx or apache) offering TLS 1.3 without this issue but not imaps/pop3s. It looks like the https test is different from other ssl/tls tests and does not have the TLS 1.3 issue Regards, -- Laurent Frigault | Free.org - BookMyName.com - ONLINE SAS - Registar ID 74

xymonpsclient (application) logfile monitoring
by christian.becker＠rhein-zeitung.net 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

Hello to the list, i need help in setting up logfile monitoring with xymonpsclient. My setup is a Windows 10 client pc, running xymonpsclient v2.42, reporting to a xymon server running xymon 4.3.30. In the client-local.cfg i have configured the logfile that i want to monitor, and an amount of time later, the logfile shows up in the msgs column. After that i configured analysis.cfg to look for a specific pattern in this logfile, it seems to me that only the appearance of this pattern is displayed in the msgs column, but nothing else from this logfile. In addition tot hat, the msgs column didn't change to red state. Here's the part of my client-local.cfg: [win10client1] log:C:\Program Files\PATH-TO-LOGFILE\filename.log:153600 And here the part of my analysis.cfg: HOST=win10client1 LOG C:\Program Files\PATH-TO-LOGFILE\filename.log Unable.to.cancel.connection.to COLOR=RED With this setup it seems to me that only lines containing this pattern Unable.to.cancel.connection.to are displayed in the msgs column of win10client1. Any idea what i'm doing wrong? Or do i understand any basics the wrong way? Regards Christian

SPLITNCV with wildcard because of multiple graphs from one test

Dear All, I have a custom test that reports data from nvme disks from the command: nvme smart-log /dev/nvme2n1 -o json The output is processed so that the client reports the following to the server: S3ESNX0J951626N-critical_warning : 0 S3ESNX0J951626N-temperature : 318 S3ESNX0J951626N-avail_spare : 100 S3ESNX0J951626N-spare_thresh : 10 S3ESNX0J951626N-percent_used : 92 S3ESNX0J951626N-data_units_read : 27832088 S3ESNX0J951626N-data_units_written : 93877408 S3ESNX0J951626N-host_read_commands : 180442558 S3ESNX0J951626N-host_write_commands : 916278700 S3ESNX0J951626N-controller_busy_time : 4028 S3ESNX0J951626N-power_cycles : 218 S3ESNX0J951626N-power_on_hours : 2995 S3ESNX0J951626N-unsafe_shutdowns : 86 S3ESNX0J951626N-media_errors : 0 S3ESNX0J951626N-num_err_log_entries : 0 S3ESNX0J951626N-warning_temp_time : 0 S3ESNX0J951626N-critical_comp_time : 0 S3ESNX0J951626N-temperature_sensor_1 : 318 S3ESNX0J951626N-temperature_sensor_2 : 323 S3ESNX0J951626N-thm_temp1_trans_count : 0 S3ESNX0J951626N-thm_temp2_trans_count : 0 S3ESNX0J951626N-thm_temp1_total_time : 0 S3ESNX0J951626N-thm_temp2_total_time : 0 2J4520102682-critical_warning : 0 2J4520102682-temperature : 314 2J4520102682-avail_spare : 100 2J4520102682-spare_thresh : 32 2J4520102682-percent_used : 2 2J4520102682-data_units_read : 9450966 2J4520102682-data_units_written : 24105094 2J4520102682-host_read_commands : 137338588 2J4520102682-host_write_commands : 284702582 2J4520102682-controller_busy_time : 0 2J4520102682-power_cycles : 46 2J4520102682-power_on_hours : 1107 2J4520102682-unsafe_shutdowns : 10 2J4520102682-media_errors : 0 2J4520102682-num_err_log_entries : 0 2J4520102682-warning_temp_time : 0 2J4520102682-critical_comp_time : 0 2J4520102682-thm_temp1_trans_count : 0 2J4520102682-thm_temp2_trans_count : 0 2J4520102682-thm_temp1_total_time : 0 2J4520102682-thm_temp2_total_time : 0 S3ESNX0J951635M-critical_warning : 0 S3ESNX0J951635M-temperature : 310 S3ESNX0J951635M-avail_spare : 100 S3ESNX0J951635M-spare_thresh : 10 S3ESNX0J951635M-percent_used : 92 S3ESNX0J951635M-data_units_read : 32693378 S3ESNX0J951635M-data_units_written : 95742837 S3ESNX0J951635M-host_read_commands : 213266959 S3ESNX0J951635M-host_write_commands : 918085461 S3ESNX0J951635M-controller_busy_time : 4280 S3ESNX0J951635M-power_cycles : 218 S3ESNX0J951635M-power_on_hours : 3072 S3ESNX0J951635M-unsafe_shutdowns : 86 S3ESNX0J951635M-media_errors : 0 S3ESNX0J951635M-num_err_log_entries : 1 S3ESNX0J951635M-warning_temp_time : 0 S3ESNX0J951635M-critical_comp_time : 0 S3ESNX0J951635M-temperature_sensor_1 : 310 S3ESNX0J951635M-temperature_sensor_2 : 320 S3ESNX0J951635M-thm_temp1_trans_count : 0 S3ESNX0J951635M-thm_temp2_trans_count : 0 S3ESNX0J951635M-thm_temp1_total_time : 0 S3ESNX0J951635M-thm_temp2_total_time : 0 As you can see, there are three disks, that have the same metrics with different values. Now I started with a xymonserver.d/nvme.cfg looking like this: TEST2RRD="$TEST2RRD,nvme=ncv" SPLITNCV_nvme="*:GAUGE" GRAPHS_nvme="nvmecriticalwarning,nvmetemperature,nvmeavailspare,nvmesparethresh,nvmepercentused,nvmedataunitsread,nvmedataunitswritten,nvmehostreadcommands,nvmehostwritecommands,nvmecontrollerbusytime,nvmepowercycles,nvmepoweronhours,nvmeunsafeshutdowns,nvmemediaerrors,nvmenumerrlogentries,nvmewarningtemptime,nvmecriticalcomptime,nvmetemperaturesensor1,nvmetemperaturesensor2,nvmethmtemp1transcount,nvmethmtemp2transcount,nvmethmtemp1totaltime,nvmethmtemp2totaltime" This causes all rrd files beeing created correctly like this: $ ls -1 /var/lib/xymon/rrd/wsrbreb/nvme*temperature.rrd /var/lib/xymon/rrd/wsrbreb/nvme,2J4520102682_temperature.rrd /var/lib/xymon/rrd/wsrbreb/nvme,S3ESNX0J951626N_temperature.rrd /var/lib/xymon/rrd/wsrbreb/nvme,S3ESNX0J951635M_temperature.rrd Unfortunately all datasets are now saved as datatype "GAUGE", but most need to have "DERIVE", but I cannot figure out how to do this. Here is what I've tried: SPLITNCV_nvme="temperture:GAUGE" SPLITNCV_nvme="*temperture:GAUGE" SPLITNCV_nvme=".*temperture:GAUGE" SPLITNCV_nvme="%.*temperture:GAUGE" One thing that does work is the following: SPLITNCV_nvme="S3ESNX0J951626N_temperature:GAUGE" But as you can see it requieres the name of the SSD, which cancels out all dynamics. How can I work with wildcards in SPLITNCV scenarios? Thank you for your help! Regards

Too much data for svcstatus.sh?
by mburger＠bubbanfriends.org 12 Oct '20

12 Oct '20

Good morning. Running Xymon 4.3.30, compiled from source tarball, on a RHEL 6.10 server. This morning, I encountered an interesting issue. I have a monitored system that has 197 discrete filesystems/mounts. When I attempt to enter this server's "Trends" section, I receive an internal server error (500). My httpd error log shows this when I attempt to access the trends link for the server in question: [Thu May 21 11:29:41 2020] [error] [client 10.40.24.55] Premature end of script headers: svcstatus.sh, referer: http://sysmon.fhmc.local/xymon/edmprod/edmprod.html [Thu May 21 11:29:59 2020] [error] [client 10.40.24.55] *** glibc detected *** /apps/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0000000000de7dd0 ***, referer: http://sysmon.fhmc.local/xymon/edmprod/edmprod.html [Thu May 21 11:29:59 2020] [error] [client 10.40.24.55] /apps/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi[0x408a4f], referer: http://sysmon.fhmc.local/xymon/edmprod/edmprod.html [Thu May 21 11:29:59 2020] [error] [client 10.40.24.55] /apps/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi[0x403453], referer: http://sysmon.fhmc.local/xymon/edmprod/edmprod.html [Thu May 21 11:29:59 2020] [error] [client 10.40.24.55] /apps/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi[0x404bb7], referer: http://sysmon.fhmc.local/xymon/edmprod/edmprod.html [Thu May 21 11:29:59 2020] [error] [client 10.40.24.55] /apps/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi[0x4022c9], referer: http://sysmon.fhmc.local/xymon/edmprod/edmprod.html [Thu May 21 11:29:59 2020] [error] [client 10.40.24.55] 00400000-0043c000 r-xp 00000000 fd:08 24906 /apps/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi, referer: http://sysmon.fhmc.local/xymon/edmprod/edmprod.html [Thu May 21 11:29:59 2020] [error] [client 10.40.24.55] 0063c000-0063e000 rw-p 0003c000 fd:08 24906 /apps/xymon/server/bin/svcstatus.cgi, referer: http://sysmon.fhmc.local/xymon/edmprod/edmprod.html This does not happen for any other monitored system in my environment.

Hello, I'm wondering if there's any way to insert a newline in a message. I know it's possible to do by actually putting it on another line in the script but I don't like the way that it looks because it messes up all the indenting in the script, so that's why I was wondering if there's a newline character that xymon supports, \n doesn't work it just append a literal "\n". An example of the way I can get it to work, but looks bad:MSG="${MSG}appended text" How I would like it work:MSG="${MSG}\nappended text" Thanks
