Color blind access to graphs
by Scot.Kreienkamp＠la-z-boy.com 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Hi everyone, One of the end users in my organization is color blind. That makes reading the various graphs in Xymon very difficult. I know it's possible to use multigraphs to keep the datapoint limit per graph at 4 or less, but is it possible to make it default to 1 datapoint per graph, or even just for specific graphs? Thanks!

Not sure if this is the right venue for posting feature requests, but it would be useful if html which is generated by programs specified unique html classes wherever possible to allow CSS styling. An example, for Information Tables: *** web/csvinfo.c 2017-06-19 14:14:13.186316715 -0500 --- web/csvinfo.c.new 2017-06-19 14:11:16.385617041 -0500 *************** *** 185,191 **** sethostenv(wantedname, "", "", colorname(bgcolor), NULL); headfoot(stdout, hffile, "", "header", bgcolor); ! printf("<table align=center border=1 summary=\"Information table\">\n"); for (i=0; (headers[i]); i++) { printf("<tr>\n"); --- 185,191 ---- sethostenv(wantedname, "", "", colorname(bgcolor), NULL); headfoot(stdout, hffile, "", "header", bgcolor); ! printf("<table class=\"informationTable\" align=center border=1 summary=\"Information table\">\n"); for (i=0; (headers[i]); i++) { printf("<tr>\n"); which would permit one to specify in file: gifs/xymonbody.css table.informationTable td { margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em } to add a little spacing within the table cells around the text. -- David Boldt <dboldt at usgs.gov>

xymon client bindaddress

Well it was working HI!! Here is an except from my hosts.cfg EXAMPLE: 192.168.55.55 eth0:0 192.168.2.56 voip1.example.com (eth0) but voip1 is actually mapped on the DNS to eth0:0 I have xymon-client starting up /home/xymon/runclient.sh --hostname=voip1.example.com Up till now everything runs ok. (I have not tried a failover, as I just wanted to get it to work). Probably report as a ghost when it fails over. When I add this, then I get ghost reports: Weird, xymon-server reports itself as one of the ghosts. 192.168.2.56 voip1-2.example.com (eth0 on primary) 192.168.2.57 voip1-3.example.com (eth0 on secondary) On 6/8/17 9:49 AM, Adam Goryachev wrote: > Just a nudge, consider what I said about monitoring both servers all > the time.

We have no monitoring in place other than solarwinds which monitors heartbeats. Essentially we have a few application servers that are randomly not communicating with the director and were having to reboot them. Seeing if your application would alert on situations like this in an email notification format?

Where is xymon message life found?
by john.thurston＠alaska.gov 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

A host+test combination which does not report often enough will go 'purple'. The duration or 'life' of a status message can be set by sending a status+LIFETIME. I have a a couple of tests which have not gone purple, despite not being updated for over a week. I have a file named ~/data/hist/foo,bar,com.test which contains the times the test named "test" has changed state for the host foo.bar.com. The last entry is 1496866851 which works out to June 7th. Where can I find the information indicating when xymond will consider this test ready to go purple? -- Do things because you should, not just because you can.

I doubt that Oracle build their client for RPi. Can't you install the rpm directly on the Oracle server? Ulric

Hello,I am trying to setup Oracle monitoring on my Raspberry where I have already setup Xymon server and it works great. Am Loving it :) I am moving ahead with Oracle monitoring as well where I have having difficulty with finding Oracle basic/devel/sqlplus rpm which would work with Raspberrypi. Can somebody please help me with link/name of exact rpm I need to download. I went to the Oracle site ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index.ht… ) mentioned in the Xymon page and downloaded the packages but while converting to Debian format its complaining " oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm is for architecture amd64 ; the package cannot be built on this system " (output below) root at raspberrypi:/home/pi/xymon-oracle# fakeroot alien oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpmoracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm is for architecture amd64 ; the package cannot be built on this systemroot at raspberrypi:/home/pi/xymon-oracle# Please help and advice.

Hello ,Am trying to install Xymon on my Raspberry but getting below error while doing "Make". Can you please adivce where and what I am doing wrong. Even though I have installed c-ares-1.12.0. Please advice. pi at raspberrypi:~/xymon/xymon-4.3.28 $ sudo lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie) Release: 8.0 Codename: jessie pi at raspberrypi:~/xymon/xymon-4.3.28 $ sudo ./configure.server --caresinclude=/usr/local/includ e --careslib=/usr/local/lib Configuration script for Xymon This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon Checking your make-utility Checking pre-requisites for building Xymon Checking for fping ... Xymon has a built-in ping utility (xymonping) However, it is not yet fully stable and therefore it may be best to use the external fping utility instead. I found fping in /usr/local/sbin/fping Do you want to use it [Y/n] ? y Checking to see if '/usr/local/sbin/fping 127.0.0.1' works ... 127.0.0.1 is alive OK, will use '/usr/local/sbin/fping' for ping tests NOTE: If you are using an suid-root wrapper, make sure the 'xymond' user is also allowed to run fping without having to enter passwords. For 'sudo', add something like this to your 'sudoers' file: xymon ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/fping Checking for PCRE ... Compiling with PCRE library works OK Linking with PCRE library works OK Checking for C-ARES library ...

Compiling with SSL library works OK Linking with SSL library works OK Checking if your SSL library has SSLv2 enabled Will support SSLv2 when testing SSL-enabled network services Checking if your SSL library has SSLv3 enabled Will support SSLv3 when testing SSL-enabled network services Xymon can use the OpenSSL library to test SSL-enabled services like https-encrypted websites, POP3S, IMAPS, NNTPS and TELNETS. If you have the OpenSSL library installed, I recommend that you enable this. Do you want to be able to test SSL-enabled services (y) ? Regards Manoj Biswakarma (Manoj)
