Hi Support, I'm working on the installation of xymon on AWS cloud. Below, is my system information:- *[root at ip-ip xymon]# arch* *x86_64* *[root at ip-ip xymon]# cat /etc/redhat-release* *Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)* *[root at ip-ip xymon]# uname -a* *Linux ip-ip.ap-south-1.compute.internal 3.10.0-327.10.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Jan 23 04:54:55 EST 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux* *[root at ip-ip xymon]#* After extracting Xymon software, I executed ./configure --server, but I'm getting below exceptions:- *./configure --server --rrdinclude /root/rrdtool-1.5.5/* *Configuration script for Xymon* *This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon* *Checking your make-utility* *Checking pre-requisites for building Xymon* *Checking for fping ...* *Xymon has a built-in ping utility (xymonping)* *However, it is not yet fully stable and therefore it* *may be best to use the external fping utility instead.* *I could not find fping on your system* *Do you want to use xymonping [Y/n] ?* *y* *OK, I will use xymonping.* *Checking for PCRE ...* *Compiling with PCRE library works OK* *Linking with PCRE library works OK* *Checking for C-ARES library ...* *test-cares.c:5:18: fatal error: ares.h: No such file or directory* * #include <ares.h>* * ^* *compilation terminated.* *make: *** [test-compile] Error 1* *ERROR: Cannot compile using c-ares library.* *The system C-ARES library is missing or not usable.

Show xymon page as a link on a different page.
by mkwardle＠gmail.com 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

I have several pages and sub pages on my xymon server website. For example I have a page called Cisco and I have a different page called Watch_ Centre, is there a way of having a link to the Cisco page on the Watch_Centre page without making a subpage for Cisco on the Watch_Centre page? -- Mike Wardle

protocols.cfg - configuring yellow alarm - and combo.cfg - dealing with yellow alarms
by spah＠syntec.co.uk 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

Two ideas: 1. It would be great to be able to configure text that resulted in a yellow alarm in protocols.cfg! (Otherwise, it looks like, as a workaround, I need to test the same service twice but with different protocol syntax.) 2. Similarly, I would want to be able to differentiate between green and yellow and clear in combo.cfg - for me they should not all be equal to 1! Or if they are, there should be an alternative method of specifying that uses the actual colour name... So an example given in the man page is: WebCluster.http = (Web1.http + Web2.http + Web3.http) >= 2 Maybe that could be rewritten as: WebCluster.http = (Web1.http.green + Web2.http.green + Web3.http.green) >= 2 Or even (so one has control of when it goes yellow too): WebCluster.http.green = (Web1.http.green + Web2.http.green + Web3.http.green) >= 2 Or: WebCluster.http = (Web1.http == green + Web2.http == green + Web3.http == green) >= 2 Or: WebCluster.http == green = (Web1.http == green + Web2.http == green + Web3.http == green) >= 2 If we can agree on a spec for this that will be integrated into the public code, it is possible I can get a colleague to work on this (but no promises! If it would take him much time, I doubt he would do it.) Kind regards, SebA

iowait monitoring

Hello You can setup threshold based on rrd. Look into the doc. DS - RRD based status override DS column filename:dataset rules COLOR=colorname TEXT=explanation "column" is the statuscolumn that will be modified. "filename" is the name of the RRD file holding the data you use for comparison. "dataset" is the name of the dataset in the RRD file - the "rrdtool info" command is useful when determining these. "rules" determine when to apply the override. You can use ">", ">=", "<" or "<=" to compare the current measurement value against one or more thresholds. "explanation" is a text that will be shown to explain the override - you can use some placeholders in the text: "&N" is replaced with the name of the dataset, "&V" is replaced with the current value, "&L" is replaced by the low threshold, "&U" is replaced with the upper threshold. NOTE: This rule uses the raw data value from a client to examine the rules. So this type of test is only really suitable for datasets that are of the "GAUGE" type. It cannot be used meaningfully for datasets that use "COUNTER" or "DERIVE" - e.g. the datasets that are used to capture network packet traffic - because the data stored in the RRD for COUNTER-based datasets undergo a transformation (calculation) when going into the RRD. Xymon does not have direct access to the calculated data. Example: Flag "conn" status a yellow if responsetime exceeds 100 msec. DS conn tcp.conn.rrd:sec >0.1 COLOR=yellow TEXT="Response time &V exceeds &U seconds" oau -------- Message d'origine -------- De : deepak deore <deepakdeore2004 at gmail.com> Date : 16/08/2016 01:57 (GMT+01:00) À : xymon at xymon.com Objet : [Xymon] iowait monitoring I want to generate alert if iowait increases beyond certain threshold. analysis.cfg doesn't have monitoring iowait options in UP, LOAD and CLOCK rules.

for one hp-ux server override CLASS=hp-ux in analysis.cfg

I am running 4-3-23 -rwxr-xr-x 1 xymondev1 xymondevg 658688 Nov 13 2015 /xymondev/src/4-3-23/xymon-4.3.23/xymond/xymond in analysis.cfg I have CLASS=hp-ux DISK /cdrom IGNORE DISK * 101 102 PROC cron PROC sshd 1 PROC /usr/sbin/xntpd FILE /home/perfman/perfman red MODE=755 FILE /sysadm/xymon red MODE=777 FILE /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log red MODE=644 LOG /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log %CRIT|SERIOUS|EMERG Now I have to monitor a new client hp-ux box that does not run sshd or /usr/sbin/xntpd on the new client hp-ux box ( os = > B.11.31 ) I am running an old hobbit client, because it is all I can find to run. I am not in a position to compile. I tried to override by adding above the class in analysis.cfg HOST=appletree PROC postgres PROC /usr/sbin/xntpd 0 1 CLASS=hp-ux DISK /cdrom IGNORE DISK * 101 102 PROC cron PROC sshd 1 PROC /usr/sbin/xntpd FILE /home/perfman/perfman red MODE=755 FILE /sysadm/xymon red MODE=777 FILE /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log red MODE=644 LOG /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log %CRIT|SERIOUS|EMERG that gives me a green line for PROC /usr/sbin/xntpd 0 1 and a red line for PROC /usr/sbin/xntpd which still gets me a red status I am out of ideas. Please somebody help. Thank you bakgat
