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.

[patch] honour client hostname from /etc/default/xymon-client
by zechner＠vrvis.at 23 Dec '21

23 Dec '21

Hi, I've encountered a rather annoying bug when using local mode on clients on Debian [1], but I am sure it's also a problem on other Linux distros. When the machine is set to LOCALMODE="yes" in /etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg, it stops using the hostname provided by /etc/default/xymon-client set via CLIENTHOSTNAME= there and instead uses "hostname -f". It does this because in the Debian init script it checks for a variable called MACHINEDOTS (which only exists on xymon servers, not clients) and uses "hostname -f" as a fallback. In my opinion, a client in local mode should still honour the client hostname set in the /etc/default/xymon-client file, so I propose the following change in xymonclient.cfg: --- A 2021-12-23 13:34:11.000000000 +0100 +++ B 2021-12-23 13:44:37.024340994 +0100 @@ -42,6 +42,8 @@ # Local options for xymond_client (Ignored when not in local mode) LOCAL_CLIENTOPTS="" +# honour hostname set in /etc/default/xymon-client +MACHINEDOTS=$CLIENTHOSTNAME # Compatibility settings HOBBITCLIENTHOME="$XYMONCLIENTHOME" Setting the MACHINEDOTS variable like this ensures it still uses the one defined in /etc/default/xymon-client thus behaving like expected. Please let me know if this solution is acceptable for you or if we should resolve this matter in another way. Thanks in advance! Best regards Christoph Zechner [1] OS: Debian 10/11 stable

Wrong interfaces in if_load test
by colin.coe＠gmail.com 05 Dec '21

05 Dec '21

Hey all Running Xymon (Teribithia) v4.3.30 along with DEVMON. Recently we've found that RRD files are present for completely wrong interfaces for many devices polled by DEVMON. For example, I'm seeing if_load.StackPort1.rrd files for 110 devices we only have two stacks. Even some routers have this rrd file present. Has anyone else seen this. Happy to provide more info. Thanks
