G'Day, Is it possible to add the DISK check to the following report? This is quite a convenient all-in-one view, but doesn't include the view of the disk space. http://xymon_server/xymon-cgi/hostgraphs.sh<http://10.211.60.50/xymon-cgi/hostgraphs.sh> [cid:image001.png at 01D26DBB.1DD9F160] "This email is confidential.

"sandboxed" errors in 4.3.27
by A.Chervonets＠cominder.eu 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

We have recently upgraded our monitoring server from 4.3.17 to 4.3.27 and now getting " is sandboxed, and the 'allow-scripts' keyword is not set." errors in modern Chrome for svcstatus.sh pages Let me explain: Some our custom tests may generate large content with detailed technical information, which is not always required to show on web-page. monitoring test generate HTML content with DIV having style='display: none' HTML content also contains <A HREF> element with java script function call to show DIV content on click (or hide on click again) Appropriate java script function is placed in page header - it was placed in HEAD element - in ./server/web/hostsvc_header ./server/web/histlog_header so generated header is the following: ============== <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="60"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="Sat, 01 Jan 2001 00:00:00 GMT"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Set-Cookie" CONTENT="pagepath=; path=/"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Set-Cookie" CONTENT="host=target-hostname; path=/"> <TITLE>yellow : Xymon - dbinvobj status forhost=target-hostname (10.*.*.*) @ Thu Jan 12 19:07:47 2017</TITLE>  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/xymon/gifs/xymonbody.css">  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/xymon/menu/xymonmenu-blue.css">  <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/xymon/gifs/favicon-yellow.ico">  <script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript"> function toggle_div(p_DivName,p_LinkName,p_showCaption,p_HideCaption) { var div_element = document.getElementById(p_DivName); var text = document.getElementById(p_LinkName); if(div_element.style.display == "block") { div_element.style.display = "none"; text.innerHTML = p_showCaption; } else { div_element.style.display = "block"; text.innerHTML = p_HideCaption; } } </script>  </HEAD> ============== It was working fine in 4.3.17 (really we still have one monitoring server of that version and it is working) In 4.3.27 - we get the following errors in latest Chrome and our java script function is not working (nothing happens) 1) Refused to execute the redirect specified via '<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='...'>'. The document is sandboxed, and the 'allow-scripts' keyword is not set. 2) Blocked script execution in 'https://myhostname:port/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=target-hostname&SERVICE…' because the document's frame is sandboxed and the 'allow-scripts' permission is not set. Note: old Opera (before Chromium), old (2013) Chrome and more or less modern FireFox ESR does not have such problem. I have found similar thread for [Xymon] 4.3.25 - ouch (reverting to 4.3.22), but not identical and it looks like final solution was not found. http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2016-February/043013.html I have compared pages sources from XyMon 4.3.17 and 4.3.27 for the same content. and the difference is only 1 line, which IMHO should not affect - 1 menu item added in 4.3.27: <a class="inner" href="/xymon-cgi/acknowledgements.sh">Acknowledgements</a> If I save both pages locally as HTML file and open in Chrome - java script function is working and there are no "sandboxed" errors.

Windows Powershell client v2.19
by zak.beck＠accenture.com 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

Hi v2.19 of XymonPSClient has been committed. This has a number of minor fixes, as follows: * added xymonlogsend directive - sends client log to server so it can be viewed from the front end * diskpart to support clustered volumes * convert the epoch time functions to use Powershell built-in functions * improve event log suppression (reportevt = 0) so it suppresses the event log summary (@David Mills) The epoch time thing - this is used in the [clock] section of the data reported back (uptime test). We had one or two servers for which the maths wasn't working out and there was a date / time being used in the code without a timezone. This has been fixed and we have not observed any impacts on servers that were previously reporting correctly, so I don't expect any negative impacts. Zak

xymon powershell client
by zak.beck＠accenture.com 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hi Not sure why you'd use repeattest for this - totally not necessary. For cpu, you need to set the thresholds in analysis.cfg. Sorry, I think I said alerts.cfg previously - I meant analysis.cfg. This https://www.xymon.com/help/xymon-config.html is a good place to start. For your external, your script needs to create a data file in the correct format in the correct place (see the doc).

Most of the tests shown in the XymonPSClient are additional to the normal default tests (cpu, memory, disk etc) and so thresholds are defined in client-local.cfg. However, for the normal default tests, thresholds are defined as normal in alert.cfg. This is similar to how the Linux client works and may be different to bbwin, I don't recall.

One of the key differences between bbwin and XymonPSClient is that you have the option to push configuration from the Xymon server via client-local.cfg, rather than being configured on the client side. This is a major advantage as you can control the configuration centrally. You could create a local client-local.cfg and switch the option off to use the remote (Xymon) client-local.cfg, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Strange MACHINE vs. CLIENTHOSTNAME behavior, Terebithia Xymon 4.3.28-0.6.1.el5
by novosirj＠rutgers.edu 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Having an odd problem that I’m having trouble tracking down on an RHEL5.11 machine. The symptom is that the client shows with the real hostname, which is one I don’t want displaying on the Xymon website and, even though I’ve changed the name in the client, my one external script that uses $MACHINE/$MACHINEDOTS is sending as the actual server name. I define $CLIENTHOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client, which is looped in by an include at the top of /etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg. I see in /usr/libexec/xymon-client/xymonclient.sh that if $CLIENTHOSTNAME exists, $MACHINE/$MACHINEDOTS ought to make use of it. However, $MACHINE/$MACHINEDOTS are still my real hostname. Any suggestions? I don’t really understand how this could be happening. -- ____ || \\UTGERS, |---------------------------*O*--------------------------- ||_// the State | Ryan Novosielski - novosirj at rutgers.edu || \\ University | Sr. Technologist - 973/972.0922 (2x0922) ~*~ RBHS Campus || \\ of NJ | Office of Advanced Research Computing - MSB C630, Newark `'

Hi, I try to find were I can download the latest package of Xymon client PowerShell. Normally I use bbwin 0.13, but I want to look at the PowerShell. Some bbwin client failed for no reason, and I get purple alerts. Thanks. David

odd behavior for UP rule
by EDSchminke＠Hormel.com 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Seeing some odd behavior from the "UP" rule.. I have the UP rule defined for a specific page/subpage. Here is the exact rule at it is defined in my analysis.cfg file. It is the only place where I have the "UP" rule defined. PAGE=Wintel/wintel_citrix EXHOST=cospvs,cobpvs UP 10m 10d yellow Here is the URL of the page I would expect this test to be applied to: https://lxcobxymonp.hfc.ad/xymon/Wintel/wintel_citrix/wintel_citrix.html The nature of the "odd behavior" is that this rule seems to ALSO get applied to any host defined on the "main" or "top-level" page; CPU test for those hosts changes from green to yellow. If I comment out that rule, the "CPU" status for hosts on the top-level page change from yellow back to green. It seems to be limited to the UP test. If I put in a DISK test that I know should cause a status change (e.g. DISK 20 80 /, disk is at 57%), it does not.. I'm currently v4.3.27 and the only change to the code was a patch I received for r7985. Thanks, Erik D.

4.3.28 RC2 Released
by cleaver＠terabithia.org 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Hello all! 4.3.28 RC2 has been released and should now be available on the SourceForge mirrors. You can download it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/files/Xymon/4.3.28-rc2/ There are a number of typos fixed from RC2, but RC2 is primarily of interest for those running older versions of OpenSSL (< 1.0.1) as RC1 was broken on those machines. If there were any fixes that I accidentally missed or if you notice any issues with this RC -- especially compiling -- please let me know. Regards, -jc

xymon disk not alerting at 100%, need another set of eyes
by Scot.Kreienkamp＠la-z-boy.com 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

So I had another thought, I copied the class statement to another file so it's now first in the list and last in the list, and my disk test is still green. Is the class match broken? I'm on 4.3.27-1 from Terabithia. Thanks!

By alerting, I mean that the disk test is still green, even though a partition is at 100%full. I found two hosts that weren't alerting on disk full condition and started digging into the problem further. As I understand it, xymon matches the first entry from analysis config files.
