Currently running xymon 4.3.17 and I see this message in the xymond test Under the "Latest error messages:" Config file hobbitserver.cfg not found Most for the time it comes out at :0:05:00. Not sure it's affecting anything, but thought I should mention it.

Question about hobbit-plugins (apt and libs)
by aristide＠free-it.ch 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi, I am new to XYmon (and happy to have found it) and I would like to see every icon in green :-). I have installed the hobbit-plugins on two linux servers (Ubuntu 14.04 *) and the 'apt' and 'libs' icons remains yellow. The details are as follow: - apt: 'Packages not installed from apt repositories' - libs: 'One of /proc/config.gz and /boot/config-3.13.0-76-generic was not found, cannot check kernel uptodateness' and 'The following processes have libs linked that were upgraded' (mysql) Is there a way to disable these particular checks ? For 'apt', it seems normal to me to install software from special repositories to get actual versions. For 'libs', the first "problem" is normal with Ubuntu (no '/proc/config.gz' file). I don't know what to think of the other one. It looks like 'mysql' has been compiled with libraries that have been or should have been updated. Thanks in advance Yann Lehmann * both the XYmon server and the hobbit-plugins were not installed from the 14.04 repos as they are outdated

It seems you'd want this metric to be a GAUGE if it's going to be a floating value like that. HTH, -jc

Disable message and RECOVERY
by stef.coene＠docum.org 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Hi, I noticed that a disable message is not setting the RECOVERY option to 1 when triggering an alert script. >From xymonserver.cfg: OKCOLORS="green,blue,clear" And I also noticed that if you select multiple hosts and multiple services, only for 1 host the alert script is triggered for each service. Selecting 1 server or 1 service is working fine. Stef

little explanation of conn test.
by rbadilla＠grupocesa.com 25 Jan '16

Hi guys: We are getting this graph from a webserver and the boos want a deeper explanation of it. So AFAIK the conn test is a ping; so it will give and idea of how network is working and also can reflect how the server is performing serving request. (Note aside: I feel that TCP connection times from a ping test can be misleading, I mean ping is icmp which people calls 3.5 layer ). -- ------------------------------ CONFIDENCIALIDAD - La información contenida en este mensaje es confidencial y se dirige únicamente a su destinatario.

(Note aside: I feel that TCP connection times from a ping test can be misleading, I mean ping is icmp which people calls 3.5 layer (TCP/IP vs OSI layering) ). I know 0.02 seconds aren't the world falling; but I'm looking to give and answer that cover the pikes (I guest the metric report issues and average of the data that is plotted?). RAM is at 90% all time long; but since CPU utilization is too low; like LA I'm tempting to say that we need to drill down to the url that webcache (this is an Oracle WebCache; which works like a reverse proxy for "accelerating" webapps was serving since it may be the cause of the delay. Any idea or input will really appreciate. -- ------------------------------ CONFIDENCIALIDAD - La información contenida en este mensaje es confidencial y se dirige únicamente a su destinatario.

R: xymon 4.3.24 alerts.cfg Argument list too long
by Luca.CorsiniCSL＠esselunga.it 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

I solved the problem, it's the operating system stack A problem combination is an updated (linux >=2.6.23) kernel, but missing or suspect glibc support (glibc<=2.14) That applies exactly to RH6.7 My first solution is to put: * soft stack unlimited * hard stack unlimited In /etc/security/limits.conf Not the best, but works Luca -----Messaggio originale----- Da: J.C. Cleaver [mailto:cleaver at terabithia.org] Inviato: martedì 19 gennaio 2016 10:41 PM A: Corsini Luca CSL Oggetto: Re: [Xymon] xymon 4.3.24 alerts.cfg Argument list too long Hi Luca, That seems like a valid config. Can you run xymond_alert in --debug or --trace mode to see what it's sending? Although I'm not aware of a specific change around this area, what version were you coming from? Also, can you verify the whitespace on this and that the second line is indented from the first? Lastly, can you try without the 'FORMAT=SCRIPT' on the line itself? (It shouldn't make a difference in the parsing, but still.)
