Combo Combo Status
by lukas.kohl＠ergodirekt.de 29 Nov '17

Hey Guys, I have a Combo Status, which combines other combo states. The states are working technically fine, so that a red state in a subcombo is treated as 0 and is affecting the top state. So it works good for most cases. The problem I have is, that the States, which are consisting of combos are shown as &unknown (instead of &red or &green) in the xymon page (where a single combo test is working fine). I will attach a Screenshot for clarification. You can reproduce the error by simply building a combo out of a combo state. Combo from Combo (no gifs): Subcombo (working fine with gif): Best regards, Lukas _______________________ ERGO Direkt Lebensversicherung AG · Amtsgericht Fürth HRB 2787 · UST-ID-Nr.

NFR: "All Red View"
by robert.herron＠gmail.com 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Cool. Learn something new everyday. The red.html is generated using the web/stdnongreen_header -- at least for 4.3.17. The page title is "Current non-green Systems" which is misleading. I add a web/stdred_header and updated it as appropriate. How much trouble is it to make Xymon use a different header template for generating the red.html ?

Alert transition yellow -> red with repeat problem
by john.r.rothlisberger＠accenture.com 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

This problem contributed to an outage last night - something is wrong. Last night we had a disk that was in the warning state - warning email sent. That disk then went into an alert state and an alert email was triggered (right away as the DURATION value took into account the time it was yellow) and then again 15 minutes later as designed. THEN - another disk on that server went yellow. It did NOT trigger any emails (as expected we should continue to focus on the alerts) but it somehow interfered with the REPEAT time of the alerts and those STOPPED. There is a bug somewhere.

Xymon 4.3.21 Ubuntu 14.04LTS The problem I have (in this instance) a warning which is to be repeated daily suddenly goes red and triggers a single alert but doesn't repeat again until the repeat time of the warning has passed. >From the notification.log: Tue Mar 28 05:31:28 2017 ServerA.disk (IP) disk_warn 1490697082 100 <- warning sets a repeat time of 1 day Tue Mar 28 05:53:32 2017 ServerA.disk (IP) disk_alert 1490698405 100 <- minutes later it goes red (red repeat time is 15 minutes but no further alerts are generated) Next alert comes out 1 day after the above warning: Wed Mar 29 05:31:31 2017 ServerA.disk (IP) disk_alert 1490783486 100 <- 1 day after previous warning. This should have been repeated every 15 minutes. Wed Mar 29 05:46:40 2017 ServerA.disk (IP) disk_alert 1490784394 100 <- now, the repeat time is 15 minutes ... <- and continues every 15 minutes. This alert went a full 24 hours with only a single notification. :( I have seen this before (not always) where the repeat time in a warning overrides a follow up alert until the warning repeat time has expired.

Hi David, Below are the snapshot of the file attachment I’ve sent and I did not see 1_Warning.txt. Do you mean you only receive the .txt and not the error-log.?

Hi All, I have observed that Xymon (version 4.3.26) History button on all pages stopped working in Chrome - Browser - Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit) Chrome - Developer tools - shows - following error Refused to send form data to ' https://xymon.mydomain.org/xymon-cgi/history.sh?HISTFILE=mynode.cpu&ENTRIES…' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "form-action 'self'". Working fine in Firefox browser version 57.0 (64-bit). Is this a know issue? Is there any fix? -- -------------------------- “The Truly Educated never Graduate.” "The only constant is change."

Windows Powershell Client-local.cfg
by tlwilliams4＠vcu.edu 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

We are in the process of moving from the BBWin client to the Powershell client in a mixed Windows/Linux environment. I want to have a common set of parameters in the 'client-local.cfg' file on the Xymon server for the Windows PS clients, rather than listing each client system. I have a section [win32] where I list the same params as for a working single server; I have also tried [windows] and [win] but the test server does not indicate receiving data from Xymon server and settings are not applied. OS is 64-bit Windows 2016, should I try [win64]? On the Linux data file I get back an [osversion] section and a [uname] section, but on the PS data file only a [uname] section. Is that the problem? *Tim Williams*
