Excellent use of the word ?crikey?. From: Xymon <xymon-bounces at xymon.com> On Behalf Of John Thurston Sent: Friday, 28 October 2022 12:42 AM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: Re: [Xymon] red.html generation Crikey, I didn't even know there was a specifically-named red.html page . . and I've been poking at xymon/bb for a couple of decades. I guess that shows how often I look in that directory. Reading in source, it looks to me like this is triggered in xymongen.c, as a special type of PAGE_NONGREEN (there, in line 664): 659 /* The full summary page - nongreen.html */ 660 if (do_nongreen) { 661 nongreen_color = do_nongreen_page(nssidebarfilename, PAGE_NONGREEN, "nongreen"); 662 nongreencolors = (nongreencolors & ~(1 << COL_YELLOW)); 663 nongreencolors = (nongreencolors & ~(1 << COL_PURPLE)); 664 nongreen_color = do_nongreen_page(nssidebarfilename, PAGE_NONGREEN, "red"); 665 add_timestamp("Non-green page generation done"); 666 } and do_nongreen_page is defined in pagegen.c 1128 int do_nongreen_page(char *nssidebarfilename, int summarytype, char *filenamebase) So if you don't want this page to be generated, you're going to have to modify xymongen. And it appears that red.html is going to be controlled by exactly the same things which control nongreen.html -- Do things because you should, not just because you can.

Anyone know what exact code or file generates the red.html page? I'd like to customize mine a bit and even possibly create my own new page.? I can't find any documentation on it and my grep searching isn't producing any results either. -- Thank You, Kris Springer Systems Admin I/O Network Administration https://www.ionetworkadmin.com

Thanks to Bruno Manzoni for pinging me that no email was received when registering, I discovered that the mail service I was using was not working any longer. I've updated to another service and verified that I, at least, can receive emails. Password reset emails should work now. =G=

xymongen hanging
by David.Logan＠nt.gov.au 20 Oct '22

20 Oct '22

Hi Folks, Just wondering if anybody has any experience with xymongen hanging. I have a large number of xymongen processes being kicked off sometime over the weekend, unfortunately they are owned by apache and have a PPID of 1 so I can't tell how they were started. I'm presuming either xymoncmd but I can't see anything in the crontab for xymon or in tasks.cfg that would kick off the snapshots and reporting processes. These then sit for a very long time (> 24hrs) while trying to read a data file from a specific server. apache 14749 1 44 Oct16 ? 10:28:39 /xymon/server/server/bin/xymongen --snapshot=2222867979 XYMONGENSNAPOPTS /xymon/server/server/www/snap/14748-1665896723 apache 14867 1 43 Oct16 ?
