Disabling all emails from all tests.

Just disable the alerts. Tests will continue to send to the server, you just won't be notified.

Xymon custom graphs
by Srikrishna.Karatalapu＠vudu.com 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hi, I have recently successfully installed xymon server in our dev environment. I am working on migrating data from the hobbit sever to xymon server. I have been able successfully restore the historical data. But I still see the custom graphs on hobbit are not working on the xymon server. * I have renamed the hobbit graphs to graphs.cfg . * I am using an identical test2rrd.cfg as the hobbit server. Are there any other configuration changes that need to be made as part of the data migration so the I can see the custom graphs. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Krishna

Missed the list... =G= ________________________________________ From: Galen Johnson Sent: Wednesday, May 6, 2015 7:31 PM To: Vernon Everett; Keith Dowell Subject: Re: [Xymon] Need some assistance with graphs, please. I know I'm late to the party but one thing I haven't seen is whether these are NCV graphs and if they are defined as such in the server config file. Or if they are custom graphs using the data channel. Also, are your tests running every 5 minutes or do you have a custom time (this bit me)? I actually set mine up to be split_ncv but I can't see that being an issue here (necessarily). Could you post (have you posted) what you have defined for GRAPHS (note, I found a tidbit somewhere that said to add "ncv" to definition), TEST2RRD and your ncv definition. =G= ________________________________________ From: Xymon <xymon-bounces at xymon.com> on behalf of Keith Dowell via Xymon <xymon at xymon.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 6, 2015 7:25 PM To: Vernon Everett Cc: xymon at xymon.com Subject: Re: [Xymon] Need some assistance with graphs, please. _______________________________________________ Xymon mailing list Xymon at xymon.com http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon

Hi Keith Your internal field name is memused. Is that correct for all the rrd files? This is the field name as defined in the rrd file. Check how the rrd file is created, or use rrdtool dump with some creative grep to confirm the field names. Do you get a graph without the EXFNPATTERN keyword? (A long shot, but might be worth checking) If you know the rrd files in advance, and you know the number of them, and it will not change, then why not define them manually. It's a little more of a pain up front, but it might save you a lot of grief. Check [users], [vmstat*] or [netstat*] in graphs.cfg for examples.

Xymon PS Client and External VBS scripts

Dear All, Does anyone have a way to run VBS External scripts via Windows Schedule Tasks, and send the results directly back to the Xymon Server? Martin. ----- Forwarded by Martin Wojak/DSE/VICGOV1 on 30/04/2015 03:06 PM ----- From: Brandon Dale <BDale at kitchengroup.com.au> To: "martin.wojak at delwp.vic.gov.au" <martin.wojak at delwp.vic.gov.au>, Cc: "stef.coene at docum.org" <stef.coene at docum.org> Date: 30/04/2015 01:44 PM Subject: RE: Xymon PS Client and External VBS scripts Hey Martin, I’m also just a sysadmin, this is something I have wanted to do as well as there are some vbscripts I could use as externals but haven’t worked out an easy way yet. I don’t really know vbscript either which doesn’t help L These are the options I can think of: 1. Use bbwin just for these external tests. 2. Use Get-Content somehow in powershell to get the information you need from the output of those scripts and send that to xymon using xymonsend 3. I “think” there is a way to run vbscript code inside powershell, you could possibly put it inside a powershell script and send directly to xymon. The last and ideal option is rewrite them in powershell, I know there are some similar scripts already out there but they would need to be modified to work with xymon. For example https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-PendingReboot-Query-… and there are some nagios scripts that do similar things. Option 1 is the easiest if you don’t have the time to play around with PowerShell especially if you already have bbwin on all those servers. You should be able to just disable all the normal tests for the bbwin client by commenting out something in the .cfg file and use it only to send these externals.

I love some of the new functionality of the PS client, that bbwin doesn't have (eg. dirtime, dirsize, restart failed service). But I have 2 External VBS scripts that I would like to keep using. I had a look at converting our 2 VBS scripts that are currently called from BBwin, to be able to use xymonsend.ps1 (or some other way), to talk directly to our Xymon server. I couldn't work out how to do it. I'm just a SysAdmin, not a programmer or developer, so not very good with VB or PS. If you have time, and would be easy to do, can you work out how I can make these 2 scripts operate as Windows Scheduled tasks and send data directly to our Xymon server. Ta. Martin.

I put http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/xymonsend… onto each server inside the same directory as the PowerShell client 2. I dot source this into my external scripts (which I normally store in c:\xymon\ext to keep it simple) and use it to send the status messages to xymon. 3. Run these as scheduled tasks in windows.

Xymon has stopped updating
by y.goudetsidis＠mail.cryst.bbk.ac.uk 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hello everyone I have noticed some strange behaviour lately with Xymon. The main page gets stuck and does not update itself. At the moment it's stuck on the 28th of April. Last time it happened I realised it after 4 days. The only fix is to reboot the xymon server. I can't see anything in the log files. All I see is the xymon service getting restarted. Any suggestions please? If you have any ideas please let me know. Many thanks Yanni

Trends HTML to Email

I'm looking for a way to send the contents of the the trends page to an external user with information from the trends page and don't want to give them internal access. Anyone know a way to dump the page to a file? I've tried this ?<http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2010/02/msg00188.html>so far with little success: #!/bin/sh . /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg HOST=$1 SERVICE=trends env REQUEST_URI=/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=${HOST}\&SERVICE=$SERVICE SCRIPT_NAME=/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh QUERY_STRING=HOST=${HOST}\&SERVICE=$SERVICE REQUEST_METHOD=GET /usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitsvc.cgi $CGI_SVC_OPTS --debug Then I run sh test.sh server?.name The result is: Content-type: text/html <html><head><title>Invalid request</title></head> <body>Invalid request</body></html> It acts as though it didn't find a host name to query. Any other suggestions would be very helpful! Thanks, John Tullis
