history pages stuck in the past
by dito74＠gmail.com 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

some weird issue has been happening, our agents are reporting and you see the warnings and errors on the webpage, but when it goes back to green and you want to see those messages in the history page and now are past, they won't show up up, the history pages are stuck in the past (reporting no changes in statuses in months) and I think that's when we had some issues with syslog and the drive got full, for some reason now they won't get updated we are getting the messages in emails so I am guessing we don't care of the loss in the web display I think the history is lost, so I am thinking to delete everything at this point and start over however, I would like maybe to troubleshoot and look into it Gab

How do I make change and add a new stanza for example [lscpu] to the xymonclient-linux.sh that it survives a yum update to next version of xymon client?

cpu column vmstat graph
by EDSchminke＠Hormel.com 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

I'm trying to find the best way to add the vmstat graph to a column on my pages for my UNIX hosts. The easiest way, it seems is to add "GRAPHS_cpu=la,vmstat1" to the xymonserver.cfg to override the default. But since Windows clients don't report CPU in a vmstat format, this has the unfortunate side effect of putting broken images on pages for the Windows hosts I'm monitoring. I'm generally fine with that, but concerned that the Windows Administrators may groan. Perhaps I tell them "T.S." and leave it at that? Also haven't check, but I guessing I'm probably causing a number of logs to fill up with error messages. I've also experimented with putting an additional column on my UNIX pages (e.g. vmstat), by putting that test name after the "#" in the hosts.cfg file. The only way I've found to make a column of an arbitrary test name is to do one of the following: - Have the client extension send a message with a custom test name (Have to reconfigure all my clients) - Add a dummy network service to the "protocols.cfg" page (potentially producing a lot of unnecessary data) Am I missing something? Is there a better way to achieve this goal? Can this be a feature request? To allow arbitrary columns after the # in the hosts.cfg, and leave defining it to the person implementing Xymon in their environment? Thanks! Erik D.

Windows Services Check with Powershell Client
by Alessandro.Tinivelli＠faacgroup.com 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Hi folks, i'm trying the stunning new Powershell client from Zak, and i'm already loving it. But I cannot figure out how to check if a service is running or not. I'm using last version 2.19 with Xymon 4.3.28-1terabithia. I've successfully set in analysis.cfg PORT and PROC checks, but what about "svcs"? I've also been able to use the directive "servicecheck" in client-local.cfg to instruct the powershellclient to restart stopped services but... I'm still missing the most important (for me) part for windows systems. Please help :) Thanks in advance, Alessandro

4.3.28 xymond problem - Can not bind to listen socket
by mburger＠bubbanfriends.org 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Good morning (or afternoon...check local listings). I've been noticing this for quite a while, actually, going back to at least 4.3.27: Starting xymon: [ OK ] 2017-01-23 11:47:27.577954 xymonlaunch starting 2017-01-23 11:47:27.578110 Loading tasklist configuration from /apps/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg 2017-01-23 11:47:27.583564 Loading hostnames [mburger at sysmon ~]$ 2017-01-23 11:47:27.589643 Loading saved state 2017-01-23 11:47:27.724514 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2017-01-23 11:47:27.724583 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use) 2017-01-23 11:47:27.726431 Task xymond terminated, status 1 2017-01-23 11:47:32.728441 Loading hostnames 2017-01-23 11:47:32.730506 Loading saved state 2017-01-23 11:47:32.828569 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2017-01-23 11:47:32.828632 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use) 2017-01-23 11:47:32.830513 Task xymond terminated, status 1 I'm guessing that this isn't actually my issue, but what I'm seeing, since upgrading to 4.3.28, is things like being unable to view the list of ghost clients: Failed to retrieve ghostlist from server As well as slowness in obtaining client "info", other statuses, or incomplete info returned: Cannot load host configuration I've already verified that everything in my installation directory is owned by my Xymon user and group and that the apache user is a member of the xymon group.

Xymon 4.3.28 Released
by cleaver＠terabithia.org 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Hello all, Xymon 4.3.28 has been released and is now available for download. 4.3.28 supports building properly with versions of OpenSSL greater than 1.1 and additional semantics for testing TLS1.1, 1.2, and 1.0 support. Summary reports (from other xymon servers back to a central one) are now working again after having been broken by restrictions on invalid test names. There are a number of additional bug fixes and some smaller new features, such as a more readable default netstat layout and support for alert body payloads sent to 'SCRIPT' types >4K in size. Xymon 4.3.28 is available from the Xymon SourceForge page at https://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/ As always, thank you to all who have contributed code, ideas, and features to the project! Regards, Japheth "J.C." Cleaver
