smtps checks seem to always fail

I have a mail server at host.effortlessis.com set up with LetsEncrypt certificates. Whenever I turn on the smtps test, I get a status RED from xymon with the error message: Service smtps on host.effortlessis.com is not OK : Service listening but unavailable (SSL error) Any idea how to resolve this? Some config details that might help: xymon-4.3.30 on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) No issues with smtp test. hosts.cfg 51.68.205.149 host.effortlessis.com # smtp smtps conn imaps sni https:// host.effortlessis.com server/etc/protocols.cfg [smtps] send "ehlo xymonnet\r\nquit\r\n" expect "220" options ssl,banner port 465 The SSL certificate passes fine if I check it manually. (monitor is the name of the xymon host and I am running this test as the xymon daemon user) [xymon at monitor ~]$ echo "quit" | openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect host.effortlessis.com:465 > /dev/null depth=3 O = Digital Signature Trust Co., CN = DST Root CA X3 verify return:1 depth=2 C = US, O = Internet Security Research Group, CN = ISRG Root X1 verify return:1 depth=1 C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = R3 verify return:1 depth=0 CN = host.effortlessis.com verify return:1 250 SMTPUTF8 DONE

Hello xymon brothers, Has anyone done anything with the msg/log on xymon to change epoch times to human time on the fly? Today I am tired of converting epoch to human in my head. ? Kevin H.

Bug reports via mailing list?
by zechner＠vrvis.at 14 Jun '21

Hi, on the xymon project page [1] it says "If you think you have found a bug in Xymon, please report it to the Xymon mailing list at xymon at xymon.com.", and I just wanted to make sure this is still the way to go. Should I report bugs directly to the mailing list or is there another issue tracker I'm not aware of? Cheers Christoph [1] https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/known-issues.html

Is Xymon Alive?
by Daniel.Ciesielski＠airboss.com 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Hello, I had started implementing Xymon on a few machines to see if I could get it to work (I haven't touched Linux in almost 5 years). Now upper management is expressing concerns that Xymon is dead because the newest version is from 2019, and the documentation is even older. Does this project still have a team behind it? Or has it been left "as is"?

Oracle Enterprise Linux is expected to run everything RedHat Enterprise Linux will. It is reasonable to assume Xymon server and client will compile and run correctly on all of those you list below. -- Do things because you should, not just because you can.

question about analysis.cfg and central mode for windows clients
by tlwilliams4＠vcu.edu 02 Jun '21

David, the cleaner way is to list exceptions on Hosts first, then the default for all Powershell clients. I believe your behaviour is due by Xymon stops parsing on the host name once it matches, then adds the (first) default. In the example below, I have the location of the Xymon client_config identified (has to be in the Client_config file downloaded or local), the WinLogon for PROC, and the RDP port so that the columns are normally Green. The servicecheck for WinCollect is ignored on the server if it doesn't exist. It's purpose is to restart a service if found to be stopped. I believe your SVC " status=started startup=automatic" is legacy in BBWin but doesn't work in PSXymon that way. Here is an Analysis example: HOST=CCSWSUS SVC WsusService status=started SVC WinCollect status=started HOST=CCSSophos SVC Sophos_Management_Service status=started SVC SophosPatchEndpointCommunicator status=started HOST=CCS### SVC MSSQL$SUPERCHARGER status=started SVC WinCollect status=started CLASS=powershell UP 30m Load 90 95 DISK * 85 95 MEMPHYS 70 95 MEMSWAP 60 85 PROC winlogon SVC XymonPSClient status=started SVC CSFalconService status=started SVC SAVService status=started SVC SAVAdminService status=started SVC Sophos_Agent status=started SVC Sophos_AutoUpdate_Service status=started PORT "LOCAL=%([\.:]3389)$" STATE=LISTENING COLOR=YELLOW text=RDP FILE C:\Utils\Xymonclient_config.xml LOG eventlog_application Error|Warning LOG eventlog_application Error IGNORE=[1008],[2004],[1018],[1022],[11],[1524],[1008],[2003],[4099],[8005],[12289],[4879],SAVOnAccessFilter LOG eventlog_system Error IGNORE=[36874],[36871],[1002],[513],[4879],[36888],[157],[140],[50],[58],[137],[6037],[1],DCOM,Print,TermServDevices,SAVOnAccessFilter LOG eventlog_system Warning COLOR=yellow Here is a Client_Config example: clientversion:2.42:http://webserver/pub/XymonPS maxloop:720 xymonlogsend file:c:\utils\Xymonclient_config.xml servicecheck:WinCollect:5 Keep the questions coming, Tim On Wed, Jun 2, 2021 at 11:08 AM David Smith via Xymon <xymon at xymon.com> wrote: > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: David Smith <david.smith at renfrewshire.gov.uk> > To: "xymon at xymon.com" <xymon at xymon.com> > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 15:08:18 +0000 > Subject: question about analysis.cfg and central mode for windows clients > > Hi > > > > I am running Xymon server 4.3.30, and the vast majority of windows clients > using BBwin, and trying xymonpsclient on a couple. > > > > After advise from another users, I could successfully use central mode for > services, which is ok for a couple of clients but then gets quite wieldy > when it is going to be dozens. > > > > I tried the following in analysis.cfg file > > > > I created a regular expression for one pattern of hostnames, and then for > the extra services that differ on certain servers, I added a specific > host/service entry.
