CPU "flapping status" after updating to 4.3.20
by mburger＠bubbanfriends.org 19 May '15

19 May '15

This afternoon, I updated my Xymon installation to 4.3.20 from 4.3.19. Since that point, every host in my configuration shows CPU as recently green, and when I go into the CPU status, every one of them...including the Xymon server itself...shows "WARNING: Flapping status" at the top of their page...even though the history doesn't show any change in status, at all, from green. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org "It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.

Xymon RPMs and

Hi JC, When I try to install the 4.3.20 client the install fails with "Requires: liblz4.so.1()(64bit)", however in your documentation it seems like that package is optional. Can you clarify if this is a mistake in the package or documentation? Or is that package really a requirement? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking at upgrading from Xymon 4.3.4 to Xymon 4.3.20 soon and wondered if there were any particular things I need to worry about. Having read release notes it doesn't seem like it to me but I wondered if anyone had come across any particular gotcha’s. Thanks, Neil.

Xymon 4.3.20 Released
by cleaver＠terabithia.org 18 May '15

18 May '15

Hello all, Xymon 4.3.20 has been released to SF and is now available for download. You can get it from a mirror near you at https://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/ A shout out to all of those who've contributed feature ideas and bug reports along the way... 4.3.20 fixes several long-standing issues dealing with 'summary' reports, pullclient requests, and memory reporting on recent Linux kernels. Some nifty additional functionality includes: - multiple graphs can be displayed (automatically) on a single status report - HEAD-only URL checks can be performed - the raw clientlog now gets its own column on xymon pages, allowing more direct access by users (this can be disabled with the 'noclient' tag) For a full list of changes and features, see the RELEASENOTES and Changes files. Of special note: On new installs, the 'cgiwrap' binary is now hardlinked instead of symlinked from the various calling scripts. This should obviate the need to add FollowSymLinks to those directories in your apache config that was introduced in 4.3.18. Regards, -jc

suppress log contents from 'msgs' column ?
by john.thurston＠alaska.gov 14 May '15

14 May '15

In testing 4.3.20, I've noticed that the 'msgs' column (for hosts running the xymon solaris client) contain lines from my logs even when they are reporting 'green'. I don't really want the contents of /var/adm/messages leaked to every viewer of my Xymon web interface. I now see that this behavior is also on my 4.3.17 server. I've just never noticed it because: A) I never visit any 'green' bubbles B) I only have three hosts running the xymon client When the test goes 'red', I can see value in displaying the offending lines from the log, but I can't see any value in continually leaking arbitrary lines of my logs to arbitrary users. Is there an easy way to suppress these log lines from the green status messages? Argh. I've only now noticed that the 'cpu' column is also spilling all of my running processes. I thought I had taken care of that problem when I suppressed the 'procs' column. Does anyone actually derive value from having this information continually published on the Xymon web interface for all the world to see? -- Do things because you should, not just because you can.

I noticed the adreplication test has a typo in the powershell client v2.01. Line 2287 $output = ('status {0}.adreplicaton {1} {2}' -f $script:clientname, $alertColour, $outputtext) It should be adreplication (missing the i) Regards, Brandon
