xymon client and zfs filesystems (zfs on linux)
by hobbit＠elyograg.org 01 Nov '16

It seems that when zfsonlinux is included and there are zfs filesystems, those filesystems are excluded from the disk space reporting done by the xymon client. I found a solution, but I would like to know if there's something more elegant that could be included in the source code. I found this line in xymonclient-linux.sh: EXCLUDES=`cat /proc/filesystems | grep nodev | egrep -v rootfs | awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo | sed -e 's! ! -x !g'` This is what I changed it to: EXCLUDES=`cat /proc/filesystems | grep nodev | egrep -v "rootfs|zfs" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo | sed -e 's! ! -x !g'` Even though this does work, it feels very much like a hack to me. I also tried adding the bb-zfs script from xymonton. This required a fair amount of customizing, but even after fixing program paths, it seems that some of the zfs utilities need to be run as root when they're on Linux, so that doesn't work right. Thanks, Shawn

HTML alerts sometimes come as attachment
by A.Chervonets＠cominder.eu 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Good day! We try to use https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/alerts:html_mail2.0 to send alerts with HTML-style e-mails. But, we have found that sometimes (not always) if HTML code contains images and/or DIV element - the HTML code is attached as file and not properly displayed by e-mail client (Lotus Notes). Does anyone had such issue too? And what could be workaround for the problem. Best regards, Andrey Chervonets ---------------------- SIA CoMinder http://www.cominder.eu/ mobile: +371 26517848

Fwd: Bug#828611: xymon: Fails to build from source with OpenSSL 1.1.0
by abe＠debian.org 31 Oct '16

Hi, this has been reported in Debian at https://bugs.debian.org/828611 ----- Forwarded message from Kurt Roeckx <kurt at roeckx.be> ----- Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2016 12:24:54 +0200 From: Kurt Roeckx <kurt at roeckx.be> To: submit at bugs.debian.org Subject: Bug#828611: xymon: FTBFS with openssl 1.1.0 Reply-To: Kurt Roeckx <kurt at roeckx.be>, 828611 at bugs.debian.org Source: xymon Version: 4.3.27-1 Severity: important Control: block 827061 by -1 Hi, OpenSSL 1.1.0 is about to released. During a rebuild of all packages using OpenSSL this package fail to build. A log of that build can be found at: https://breakpoint.cc/openssl-1.1-rebuild-2016-05-29/Attempted/xymon_4.3.27… On https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/1.1_API_Changes you can see various of the reasons why it might fail. There are also updated man pages at https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/ that should contain useful information. There is a libssl-dev package available in experimental that contains a recent snapshot, I suggest you try building against that to see if everything works. If you have problems making things work, feel free to contact us.

bogus critical test (?)
by Galen.Johnson＠sas.com 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hey, This is about to drive me nuts. I have 1 http test out of hundreds that has been going red with a DNS error since the DDoS that hit last week (coincidence?). However, when I look at the history of the test it shows a solid green bar. What could I possibly be missing to make this go away? thanks =G=

Page level conn status Purple, test level status Green
by dboldt＠usgs.gov 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

On the Display page we have a server where the conn test is persistently Purple, but if one clicks on the status, the detailed Status page shows Green. The DNS configuration may be causing issues: % dig +noall +answer natwebvaii01.er.usgs.gov natwebvaii01.er.usgs.gov. 43200 IN CNAME igsaaahigsvaii1.er.usgs.gov. igsaaahigsvaii1.er.usgs.gov. 300 IN A 130.11.9.89 % dig +noall +answer -x 130.11.9.96 96.9.11.130.in-addr.arpa. 43200 IN PTR natwebvaii04.er.usgs.gov. Hoped to be able to address this with hosts.cfg entry: 130.11.9.89 natwebvaii01.er.usgs.gov # CLIENT:igsaaahigsvaii1.er.usgs.gov alas no. I'm not clear enough on how the status that is seen for an individual test is propagated up to a page view to know where to look when there is a conflict. -- -- David Boldt <dboldt at usgs.gov> "A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works." --John Gaule

Configure per-host filesystem threshold
by chris.seip＠hpe.com 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

I'm new to Xymon, have set up my first client monitoring config, and haven't gotten per-host filesystem thresholds to work for that host yet. In /etc/xymon/analysis.cfg, I've got these lines: HOST=my.hosts.fqdn DISK /disk/data 96 98 But my 95% filesystem-full condition continues to come up as a red alert. I've played with a few different syntaxes, wildcards, and other config files. This looks to me like the right way to do it... Feels like I'm overlooking something really basic here. Thanks, - Chris [Running Xymon 4.3.25 on Ubuntu 16.04.1. New to Xymon; used to use Big Brother years ago.]

Formatting errors on log files
by gjkrpan43＠gmail.com 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Recently, my monitoring has been generating frequent errors that are false, due to improper formatting, It is happening on both Windows and Linux clients. I've included an example of how the tests are sending data back to the xymon server. I have not made any changes to my client or server configurations. Has anyone else been experiencing this behavior, or know of a fix? Greg.

https test shows up as white icon and no alerts
by usaims＠yahoo.com 25 Oct '16

Hi, In my hosts.cfg I test 4 web sites by their URL but only two works as expected by turning red and alerting. But the Washington and Illinois does not alert nor turn red -- it indicates a true error by stating 'DNS error' but it turns white or clear and does not alert. Does anybody have a clue? I have masked the URL for security reasons. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Illinois #illinoisapitest https://xxx.xxx.xxx.gov NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,clientlog,ports,procs,files,inode,conn xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Washington #washingtonapitest https://wslcb.xxx.com NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,clientlog,ports,procs,files,inode,connxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NewMexico #newmexicoapitest https://xxx.xxx.xxx.org NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,clientlog,ports,procs,files,inode,conn xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Arcata #arcataapitest https://www.xxx.com NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,clientlog,ports,procs,files,inode,conn
