Re-trigger alert
by Scot.Kreienkamp＠la-z-boy.com 20 Oct '16

Hi everyone, I'm creating a test for failed jobs in one of our systems. The monitor will turn red on the failed job, then stay red until the failed job is resolved. The problem is that if a second job were to fail no additional notification would go out from xymon for the second job failure because the test is already red. Is there any way to force a resend of the alert short of going red-green-red again? I send recovery alerts, so I don't want to go the red-green-red route as that could give some users receiving the alert the impression that it was already resolved. Thanks!

Entire Group of Hosts reports Conn IP as my NGinX Proxy Private IP
by freesoftwareservers＠gmail.com 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

I have all my "utilities" websites under a category, which doesn't include my NginX proxy since it doesn't have a web-ui. For some reason they all report under Conn that the Conn is up, but they are using my NginX private IP. None of the hostnames resolve to DNS, but they all have hardcoded IP's in hosts.cfg (and hardcoded CLIENTHOSTNAME=Jira configured in Host) Ex: 192.168.1.215 Jira # SSH NOCOLUMS:files Will still show Jira with conn=NginX IP What can I do to fix this? Also, I tried using a combo of NOPING/NOCONN and conn=192.168.1.215, but that still didn't seam to work. I use http://192.168.1.215 for most of my http checks in my utilities websites, since they have HTTP auth when accessed thru the Proxy, but not via Internal IP and XYMon now reports that as RED, so that was my workaround for that. But, interestingly, for my "websites" group, which is public facing websites, I use http://domain.com and they resolve with correct IP under conn. I also have other services that aren't websites which have the correct IP like routers/phones etc, just the group "Utilities Websites". Again, thanks for any ideas/suggestions!

rrdtool + terabithia

Hey, Just curious if the terabithia rpms will work properly with the rrdtool that is available with Centos 7 (1.4.8) or if they must have the version from terabithia (1.5.5). Updating to Cent7 and figured this would be an ideal opportunity to use JC's RPMs. thanks =G=

xymonPSClient

Hi Please use the Xymon mailing list as there are many other helpful people on there who can also help. I have cc'd it on this message. 1. Not sure what your question is :) 2. No the script includes everything to run as a Windows service, and running as a service is the only configuration supported. The documentation includes installation instructions (https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/XymonPSC lient.doc). 3. This is normal analysis.cfg is not for configuring what is shown, it is for configuring what colours should be assigned to what values (see https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/analysis.cfg.5.html) Zak From: m.pingel at ndr.de [mailto:m.pingel at ndr.de] Sent: 14 October 2016 09:51 To: Beck, Zak <zak.beck at accenture.com> Subject: xymonPSClient Hi, I'm new to use your xymonPSClient. Here I have three questions. 1. In the section [procs] are the CMD Line with and without quotion Marks. C:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe "C:\Windows\system32\mmc.exe" "C:\Windows\system32\taskschd.msc" /s 2. Is it possible the start the script also as an schedule?

IPv6 xymonnet support?
by jlaidman＠rebel-it.com.au 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hi all It's been a long time since the last mention on this (or the "-dev") list of IPv6 support for Xymon. I'd like to get some idea as to the level of support that's currently available, if anyone can report. Or if more progress is expected soon. I understand there are time constraints - this is an open source product after all - so I'm not complaining, just wanting to see where things are up to. On reviewing the archives, the impression I have is that xymonnet in Xymon v5.x can send service probes using IPv6, but for some reason it is unable to report them to xymond. It wasn't clear to me why xymonnet wouldn't be able to do that, so I'm wondering if I have just misunderstood. I have a pair of Xymon servers (v4.3.27) on dual-stack, and some servers in their purview are running services on dual-stack, so I'm keen to find a way to monitor and alarm on the IPv6 services. I'm wondering if I could run the xymonnet from v5 and get any sort of benefit over the v4. Or perhaps I would need to run both, and give the v5 a separate hosts.cfg. Cheers Jeremy

Global setting for http proxy
by glauber.ribeiro＠experian.com 07 Oct '16

Hello, Sorry if this is a silly question. Is there a way to set proxy parameters (URL, user, password) for xymon globally, instead of having to do it on each http URL? (Some way to set proxy parameters for all http tests, is what I'm looking for.) Thanks, glauber
