Hi all Apologies if I'm missing the obvious but is there a Linux client equivalent to the 'timediff' test for Windows clients? I'm using the client and server RPMs from terabithia. Thanks CC

3 issues on new build of 4.3.21 on CentOS 6
by Paul.Root＠CenturyLink.com 28 Oct '15

28 Oct '15

Hi all, I'm building the latest xymon into my own RPM, and on CentOS 6. The client works fine, but I have some issues with the server. There are a lot of variables, that may be influencing my issues. My current environment is RHEL 5 and CentOS 5. But I want to get more up to date. Building an RPM for 4.3.21 on CentOS 5 proved impossible too much work for too little benefit because of rrdtools newer versions not compiling on CentOS5 and such. Thus the move to newer OS. I'm also trying to use selinux. I'd always had it off or in permissive before, because I didn't want to deal with it. I'm making the effort now. We'll see how that goes. So sorry for the roll up. Here are the issues: 1) Disabled tests do not have the blue icon. The non-green page is showing the tests that are red or yellow. But if you click on the test, the page displays properly, blue background and the disable message is there. Also on the main pages, the icon remains red or yellow. 2) Some pages, notably on the new server, I get "Status not available" on a number of tests. They range from my own scripts to xymonnet. Other tests do work, like the client built in ones. 3) Cleared tests aren't clearing. This may well be the same issue as disable tests. I have a couple of tests that were red, but came green. But the page icon remains red. Any ideas? I've fixed the selinux messages that come up in /var/log/messages. Thanks, Paul.

Hello, we do this that way, that using a script in cron, at a certain time we copy alerts.cfg to alerts.cfg.work and copy an empty alerts.cfg.empty to alerts.cfg. If the file alerts.cfg is empty, there's no reason for Xymon to do any alerting. After this certain time, we copy the original file alerts.cfg back in place. For my opinion this is a bit easier to do than writing a DOWNTIME statement to all of your nodes that are configured in hosts.cfg Regards Christian _________________________________ Mittelrhein-Verlag GmbH August-Horch-Straße 28 D-56070 Koblenz Verleger und Geschäftsführer: Walterpeter Twer Reg.-Gericht Koblenz HRB 121 Finanzamt Koblenz Str.Nr. 22 65 10 285 2 www.rhein-zeitung.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Xymon [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] Im Auftrag von Eli via Xymon Gesendet: Freitag, 23.
