rrd files not getting created. - SUMMARY
by Paul.Root＠CenturyLink.com 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Sorry, I saw this yesterday, but then got side tracked, and didn’t answer. First, NEVER remove the mailing list, there are so many guys that know so much more about xymon than I do. And that goes for just about everyone except maybe Henrik and JC. So this looks like a configuration issue in general, not a failed custom graph. Do you get graphs for anything? In trends of in specific tests? Does showgraph.sh exist in you xymon-cgi directory? You can find you xymon-cgi directory location in the xymon-apache.conf file, which should be in your httpd configuration directory. Is this a new install? What version of xymon are using, and what operating system?

It is important that the rrd file you want to create doesn’t exist before you do the restart of the xymond_rrd processes. It is VERY finicky. Then moving onto the graph creation. I stumbled on debugging information. If the graph isn’t created, click on the magnifying glass next to it, and it will give you an error message, that is a clue as to why the graph wasn’t made. Also, the example on “Custom Graphs” page is invalid. It doesn’t work. The %s in the GPRINTs are invalid. I also had a typo with DEV instead of DEF, and we all know the V vs F issue with the human mind. When creating a graph, start very simple, just TITLE, YAXIS and DEF lines, and then add things one at a time to get what you want. Paul.

Xymon query and stale alert
by felipe＠redix.com.br 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hello, I'm having problems with stale alert, there's some alerts that enter on a lopping, it just stopped when I restart the server process, after that, the server put a new log on alert.log, and shows me that this alerts was on a Stale. 2016-12-06 13:47:42 Got a shutdown message 2016-11-06 13:47:43 Terminated by signal 15 2016-11-06 13:48:01 Peer not up, flushing message queue 2016-11-06 13:48:01 Stale alert for serverclientx.com:conn dropped 2016-11-06 13:48:01 Stale alert for serverclienty:vmio dropped I'm using the 4.3.11. That error can occur on any server, and any plugin as well. There's some way to list the queue alerts, or flush that stale without the restart process ? [1458733515141_assinatura_email_Felipe.jpg]

[NFR?]: mount point not displayed in RRD graph
by Alessandro.Tinivelli＠faacgroup.com 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

Hi everyone, i have a few windows servers which uses mountpoint instead of drive letters: space available, space occupied in numbers and in % are correctly displayed, but not displayed in graphs. https://s15.postimg.org/f8wwsknrf/image.jpg I don't know if it's a bug, or there is currently no support of this. In case it's not supported, it would be great to have this implemented in future Xymon's versions Thank you very much Alessandro

4.3.28 release before christmas?
by abe＠deuxchevaux.org 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Hi, I wonder if there's a chance to get 4.3.28 out before christmas? Because in that case, I'd be able to get 4.3.28 into the next Debian Stable release. The freeze for the release is on 5th of January 2017 and to be included, new upstream releases must have migrated from Debian Unstable to Debian Testing before that date. Given the 10 days migration period, the last chance for an upload would be on 2016-12-24, preferable earlier so that there's a chance to fix potential issues like unexpected build failures, etc. in time.

Issue: graphs not updating
by Alessandro.Tinivelli＠faacgroup.com 02 Dec '16

02 Dec '16

Hi everyone, i'm trying to introduce Xymon in my new company, so i've installed xymon on centos7 with precompiled packets from epel repo. All was going fine until a reboot: it happens that graphs are not updated: I see the correct "updated at..." but the line ends. More clear here https://postimg.org/image/6a5viq3yn/ Restarting the service or rebooting the machine solves temporary the problem, but it comes back. The services seem to be up and running. Tried disabling selinux, without results. I did not find anything clear in the logfiles. Version is 4.3.27-1.el7 Please help :) Thanks in advance Alessandro Tinivelli

client-local.cfg pattern matching
by EDSchminke＠Hormel.com 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

I think there is a problem with how xymon processes the client-local.cfg file when it comes to pattern matching. I have the following in my client-local.cfg: [host=%(elm|oak|oracle[0-9][dp])] Next time this file is checked, this shows up in the xymond.log: 2016-11-30 11:06:50.100740 pcre compile '(elm|oak|oracle[0-9' failed (offset 19): missing terminating ] for character class 2016-11-30 11:06:50.100829 Invalid host pattern in client-local.cfg: (elm| oak|oracle[0-9 It seems like whatever engine processes the client-local.cfg is doing a lazy pattern matching. Rather than taking everything up to the LAST closing bracket, it grabs up to the FIRST closing bracket. However this is designed to work, grabbing up to the first closing bracket seriously breaks PCRE matching. I think a change to this process is in order so that it grabs the LAST closing bracket. Especially, if a % is present, indicating the following is PCRE pattern. Thanks, Erik D.
