telnet test leaving port hung.

Xymon folks, I am running Xymon 4.3.10 and I am seeing an issue with the telnet test going to a Cisco term server (router with async cards to serial device). Randomly the term server will hang and show a refuse connection. We the term server is checked the hung session came from the Xymon server. When I check the Xymon server netstat I do not show a connection to the term server. I get the term server port cleared and we are ok again. Anyone see this behavior? -Kevin

False alert on disk
by neilsimmonds1808＠gmail.com 28 Nov '16

Hi all, I'm getting a strange false alert on one of our Xymon systems. We got an alert for disk and the webpage output looks like this, Fri Nov 25 13:18:56 2016 - Filesystems NOT ok red 99 (0 units free) has reached the PANIC level (524288 units) red GB (18446744073709551615 units free) has reached the PANIC level (524288 units) red N/A (18446744073709551615 units free) has reached the PANIC level (524288 units) Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Total Size Free Space Type Mount Point B 681565624 605072264 76493360 88% 649.99 GB 72.95 GB FIXED N/A C 52420060 33935280 18484780 64% 49 99 GB] 17.63 GB FIXED N/A R 368049116 149745148 218303968 40% 351.00 GB 208.19 GB FIXED N/A S 613409860 511927280 101482580 83% 584.99 GB 96.7 GB F]XED N/A T 157284348 113570648 43713700 72% 150.00 GB 41.69 GB FIXE N/A Notice that some of the lines seem to have spurious line feeds, there is a square bracket that has appeared and we have some letters missing. When I clicked on the link for the client data this is what the disk section looks like. [disk] Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Total Size Free Space Type Mount Point B 681565624 605072264 76493360 88% 649.99 GB 72.95 GB FIXED N/A C 52420060 33935280 18484780 64% 49.99 GB 17.63 GB FIXED N/A R 368049116 149745148 218303968 40% 351.00 GB 208.19 GB FIXED N/A S 613409860 511927280 101482580 83% 584.99 GB 96.78 GB FIXED N/A T 157284348 113570648 43713700 72% 150.00 GB 41.69 GB FIXED N/A As you can see, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with this. The only difference that I am aware of with this is that on our system where we are not seeing this, we are running Xymon 4.3.4 on CentOS 5.6 and on the one where we are seeing the issue we are running Xymon 4.3.4 on CentOS 6.3 Has anyone ever seen this kind of behaviour? Thanks, Neil.

DelayPurple Tag doesnt work - Any Other way to Delay Purple?
by freesoftwareservers＠gmail.com 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Based on the Man page for hosts.cfg, I read about delayred, so I tried delaypurple, which I want to delay for an hour. This is not working, and based on the "Default Host" part, I think it's not a code error, I think that only delayred/yellow exist. Is there a way to delay purple for a single check for an hour>? NOTE: The ".default." host entry will only accept the following tags - others are silently ignored: delayyellow, delayred, NOCOLUMNS, COMMENT, DESCR, CLASS, dialup, testip, nonongreen, nodisp, noinfo, notrends, noclient, TRENDS, NOPROPRED, NOPROPYELLOW, NOPROPPURPLE, NOPROPACK, REPORTTIME, WARNPCT, NET, noclear, nosslcert, ssldays, DOWNTIME, depends, noping, noconn, trace, notrace, HIDEHTTP, browser, pulldata. Specifically, note that network tests, "badTEST" settings, and alternate pageset relations cannot be listed on the ".default." host.

unusual xymon web page

Disregard, this was resolved by enabling either one or both of these modules in Ubuntu's apache. mime_magiccgid On Friday, November 25, 2016 11:57 AM, usa ims via Xymon <xymon at xymon.com> wrote: This is on Ubuntu 14.04 using the apache2 in Ubuntu's default repository.

The main page comes up fine (http://localhost/xymon) but when i click on the cpu, http, or any other red or green diamond, I get a white background with question marks inside a solid black oval in a white background. It seems like the charset is wrong or missing. Correct me if I am wrong. When I access the default index page from Apache2, it works fine. Any clue?

Can't match alerts.cfg rules
by xymon＠epperson.homelinux.net 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

I have 4.3.27-1.el7.terabithia running on Centos 7, and can't get any rules in alerts.cfg.to match and fire an alert. I have in hosts.cfg: 192.168.2.31 phone-sales # conn In alerts.cfg: HOST=phone-sales COLOR=red MAIL somebody at gmail.com ## Wildcard rule HOST=%^.*$ COLOR=red MAIL somebody at gmail.com Made the wildcard rule a regexp because "HOST=*" wasn't working, and added the host-specific rule because no wildcard was working. But if I trigger a red on host phone-sales, in alert.log I see: Checking criteria for host 'phone-sales', which is not yet defined; some alerts may not immediately fire What am I missing? I retired a year and a half ago, and have been out of practice, so feel free to start with "You dummy...."

ports/procs flapping
by bb4＠richter-it.net 18 Nov '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Charles, in the webinterface of Xymon you have for the most tests a link called "Client data" below the status. If you click on it you'll see a text output in your browser that starts with something like "[collector:]". Scroll down to the end of the file and see if the last entry is something about "[clock]" and "epoch", "local" and "UTC". If not then maybe the data sent from the client to the server got truncated and you might see a yellow alert for xymond. Or you find something about it in you Xymon server logs. I had similar problems with some hosts where a lot of connections were in state "ESTABLISHED" or "TIME_WAIT" that filled up the data file and on server side some MAXMSG* parameter is set too low. You'll have to adjust that parameter and restart the Xymon server component.

Hey, Is there any way to see the server config as Xymon sees it?? I made some changes to xymonserver.cfg and I don't think they are being picked up. I looked at the man pages but either missed it or it's not there. thanks =G=
