Depends tag working configuration
by rower.master＠gmail.com 05 Apr '16

Hi All, I´m trying to make the "depends=" hosts.cfg tag to work on Xymon version 4.3.24. Reading some old threads here, it became not clear to me if this configuration tag currently works or not. Has someone here have the depends tag working? I know I can use the route tag, but my intention it´s to use another network protocol and not ICMP for the dependency. Thanks & Regards, Mario

The '/''s in the URL, however, may need to be rewritten as commas to match. I had considered adding in a patch to allow HTTP URL's to be substituted with a status column name for RRD purposes, when one is supplied (using the =col syntax), which might help in this case as well. The original requirement for that one was a URL with a CGI query that changed from time to time but whose history we'd wanted to keep. HTH, -jc

DS - RRD based status override
by apocalysque＠yahoo.com 04 Apr '16

I've successfully set up monitoring for, and the ability to log in to a website on my xymon, and the content and https checks both work, but I'd also like the content column to be affected by the response time. The man page for analysis.cfg says I can use a DS tag to do so, but it also says that there's a colon in the syntax... DS column filename:dataset rules COLOR=colorname TEXT=explanation The problem I'm having is that the rrd filename (which was created automatically by xymon) has a colon in it. How would I handle this while setting up my analysis.cfg file? Do I escape that colon somehow? Double/single quote the filename? Does anyone here know or do I have to dig into the source? I was unable to find an answer in the man pages. TIA Jason T. Brockdorf Systems Analyst Identity and Access Management Texas Health and Human Services 512-438-2903

Today I have set couple of my servers to be monitoring throught IPv6 stack, and it do not work :( (I have xymon 4.3.17) I have readed hosts.cfg documentation and also this thread from 2011: http://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2011-August/thread.html#32213 Do you know the status of IPv6 suppoort on Xymon Server? Do I need to setup/configure something else? Thank you. -- Rodolfo Pilas @pilasguru https://pilas.guru gpg: 2048R/23B5BE7B FCE6 6FC5 849D A0F6 E30D D1FC A33C 4E64 23B5 BE7B

Disk Usage graph legend missing a partition
by jborissr＠gmail.com 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

I am running xymon 4.3.25 on Ubuntu. On the disk usage page I can see all of my partitions but in the graph it is not showing one of the partitions. On disk page I have /stand /u3 /u2 /u / But in the graph the legend shows / /stand /u2 Where do I go to make sure all of the partitions are showing up in the graph? It came to my attention today when one partition hit the panic level and as I was correcting it I noticed the partition missing in the graph. -- John J. Boris, Sr.

Analysis & Alerts
by davieb＠gmail.com 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

I'm running version 4.3.17 and I have a problem getting alerts out... In my analsis.cfg HOST=larry DISK /data 90 95 GROUP=pita DEFAULT DISK * 90 95 In the alerts.cfg GROUP=pita SERVICE=disk MAIL dbas at something.net DURATION>11 REPEAT=240 RECOVERED SERVICE=disk COLOR=red MAIL admin at something.net DURATION>16 REPORT=240 RECOVERED SERVICE=disk COLOR=yellow MAIL admin at something.net DURATION>16 REPORT=240 RECOVERED Now, it seems that only the emails are being sent by the SERVICE=disk reference. As the dbas do not receive the notice. I ran the xymoncmd xymond_alert --dump-config and I see both entries: 120 SERVICE=disk COLOR=red 122 SERVICE=disk COLOR=yellow 131 GROUP=dbas Any insight would be appreciated! Dave

Splitting acks in one page
by tomas.wachtarczyk＠gmail.com 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello, Is it possible to multi-acknowledge problems from one page ? Example /usr 95% /application/whatever 100% Usr will go to unix admins /application will go to application team. I understand GROUP on DISK in analysis.cfg, but it does not seem to be right thing for me. Because it will be 2 different incidents. Can i acknowledge disk.usr with comment "some incident number" and disk.application with "different incident number" when both are under disk page ? Thank you for hint, W.
