Thanks, Martin. I'll check out Jolokia. I've started experimenting with jboss-cli.sh to gather some of the more critical stats. I've got that feeding into Xymon now. The next step is to get graphing working.

I'm trying to set up jmxstat from xymonton.org to monitor information about JBoss 7.1 on 64-bit Oracle Linux 6.7 with Java 1.7.0_75. I have followed the instructions for both the client and server side. The jmxstat test appears on the Xymon server and is updating every 5 minutes as expected. I'm continuously getting the error: myclient.mydomain.com JMX - connection failed for JVM I don't know enough about Java or JBoss to know where to start looking. The instructions for jmxstat say this: "The JVM will need to be restarted with additional options that enable the JMX module and define the port & credentials." What additional options are needed and where are these configured? The admin port is 9999 and netstat shows that it's listening. I did use the add-user.sh script to create the username and password in the mgtm-users.properties file for JBoss. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, I have a question. Is there a way to setup xymon to have multiple status pages? What I want to do is to have let us say hosts 1-5 showing on one page with users 2-10 having access and hosts 6-12 on another page with users 14-20 having access. -- sysadm cronomagic.com/gemstelecom.com e-mail ve2cii at canasoft.net POWERED BY LINUX

Annyoing logic in alerts.cfg
by even.juberg＠ntnu.no 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Hi! I've been using Xymon for years and have recently begun to play around with the alerts.cfg, however, there is something I have been banging my head against the wall with, for weeks now. So I am reaching out to this list in the hopes that someone out there might have the key to save me from eternal frustration. *snippet from my alerts.cfg* HOST=* RECOVERED=1 IGNORE HOST=* HOST=one-host SERVICE=http MAIL someuser at domain.local COLOR=red MAIL someuser at domain.local DURATION>5 COLOR=red What I'm trying to accomplish is to stop the "I'm OK - recovered" messages. Those messages are irrelevant, so I want those filtered out. The problem though, is that the logic is completely off on this point. The first rule for some reason takes presedense, even though I have explicitly told it to only use that rule IF the host has recovered, no? I want it to skip that rule, if it has not yet recovered, send mail to the first user immediately, then to the other user after 5 minutes, but leave those users alone if the service is OK again. Is there a way to accomplish this? Sincerely, Even

Applying Linux Memory Patch for rhel7 with kernel 3.10
by vsmoreland＠gmail.com 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

Hello All, I am trying to apply the following patch via the method below and I appear to be getting an error (patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.). I have not applied patches before so please excuse my lack of experience. My server is currently running Xymon version 4.3.19. ******************************************************************************************** Generally, quick-fix patches such as this one are applied like this: cd xymon-4.3.4 patch -p0 </tmp/infocolumn-crash.diff make clean make sudo make install Since only the svcstatus.cgi binary is changed by the current patch, copying that file over to ~xymon/server/bin/ is fine instead of running "make install". Regards, Henrik ******************************************************************************************** I am trying to fix the memory display explained in the following article that also supplies the patch - http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2015-May/041671.html Please assist and explain the steps needed to apply patches and/or if a file can simply be edited/replaced for this specific task. Thanks, Michael

False positives on RAM and DISK F19

I can't seem to find a solution for a problem I'm having: I'm running xymon-client on several Fedora 19 servers. The client version is 4.3.28 release 1.fc19. There isn't an option to upgrade the servers right now from F19.

Alert transition yellow -> red with repeat problem
by john.r.rothlisberger＠accenture.com 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

This is a problem I have seen for a long long time and have actually brought it up on the list before. 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. Alert rules: SCRIPT /home/xymon/server/ext/pg/exwarn_SCRIPT disk_warn DURATION>30 REPEAT=1d COLOR=yellow SERVICE=disk FORMAT=TEXT UNMATCHED SCRIPT /home/xymon/server/ext/pg/exalert_SCRIPT disk_alert DURATION>20 REPEAT=15 COLOR=red SERVICE=disk FORMAT=TEXT UNMATCHED Ideas/thoughts?

multiple xymonnet question -- duplicate hosts.cfg?
by Scot.Kreienkamp＠la-z-boy.com 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

Hi everyone, I am setting up a remote xymonproxy/xymonnet system that will report back to my central server. My question is, do I have to duplicate the hosts.cfg on the xymonproxy host for the systems I want it to network test or is there a way to tell xymonnet to get that list from the xymond server on my master display server?
