False positives for applet.py (system-config-printer)

Hi folks, Adam Thorn mentioned to me in an exchange a few months ago that "the libs test pretty much just runs the lsof command and looks for files which are either 'deleted' or 'DEL', so you can do this check for yourself for a particular pid." His example command didn't quite work, but I get the idea. In the case of applet.py, I find lines like the following: applet.py 237463 jwinius 2w unknown 0,51 /nfs/home/jwinius/.xsession-errors (deleted) nfs.umrk.nl:/nfs/home) What must be added to /etc/xymon/libs.local.yaml to whitelist lines like this for all users?

False positives for applet.py (system-config-printer)

Hi folks, Our virtual workstations run CUPS along with the "system-config-printer" package, which provides a "graphical interface to configure the printing system." Unfortunately, Xymon keeps reporting false-positives for this package, in particular for lines involving this one python script: /usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/system-config-printer/applet.py Xymon often erroneously reports that such processes have "libs linked that were upgraded", even though no upgrades have taken place. Also, there may be multiple reports of this per user and per session, and these will persist even after the user has logged out. Can anyone explain how to prevent these false positives? I imagine the solution will involve creating /etc/xymon/libs.local.yaml with a few lines added to it. Our virtual workstations run Debian 11.4 (Bullseye) with Xfce 4.16, cups 2.3.3op2-3+deb11u2, system-config-printer 1.5.14-1, xrdp 0.9.12-1.1 and xymon-client 4.3.30-1. The xymon server is also runs version 4.3.30-1 on top of Debian 11.4. Thanks, Jaap

Terabithia RPMs - unable to access testing/el9
by john.horne＠plymouth.ac.uk 19 Aug '22

19 Aug '22

Hello, I have tried to access the el9 Terabithia RPMS for a Rocky 9 server, but I am getting a 403 error when using 'dnf install', and if I go the repository itself I get a permission denied error. I can see the RPMs are present in testing, but cannot access them. Anyone know when these might be available, either in testing or the main 'el9' repository?

Server version: Apache/2.4.51 (Oracle Linux Server) I am getting [Thu Aug 18 10:06:27.593958 2022] [cgid:error] [pid 17035:tid 17035] (13)Permission denied: [client 192.168.1.89:55583] AH01257: unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries: /usr/local/xymon/cgi-bin/svcstatus.sh, referer: http://192.168.1.101/xymon/ I am finding info about MPM prefork. All those made no change in this issue. I have compared to my other servers. Those are solaris platforms and Server version: Apache/2.4.46 (Unix) My apache runs as user apache and group xmon. Xymon also runs as group xmon. Server version: Apache/2.4.51 (Oracle Linux Server) I am close I smell it. Thanks for your time. Kevin H.

Anyone have xymon running on Linux 9? I have started to build on Oracle Linux 9. Having issues with getting retool. It complains about the libs. I do not find a rrdtool-devle for it. Kevin H.

sslcert column
by rodbass63＠gmail.com 02 Aug '22

Hello, I'm using the SSL cert column to check the status of the SSL certificates. I updated one SSL cert successfully but it is still showing the old certificate on xymon. Does xymon cache? And how do I resolve this issue? Thank you in advance.

Mailing list future - help needed within the next year

Hi, the Xymon mailing list has been running for more than 15 years. It started when the project was separated from the original Big Brother origins, and has been running since then. I stopped doing any serious development of Xymon more than 5 years ago, and I haven't really been following the list since then. But I can see that the number of mails per month on the list has gradually decreased over the years. The list is currently running on a Debian 10 server with the GNU Mailman v2 software. This version of Mailman is going out of support, and an upgrade to version 3 is necessary once support for Debian 10 ends. This appears to be rather complicated - it is not automatic, but there are some scripts - and since the mailing list is co-located with my personal (and family) email service, any mail malfunction is going to be pretty annoying. So moving the list to Mailman v3 is something that I will not do. Therefore some other way of running the mailing list must be found - or it will shut down sometime in the beginning of 2024. In other words, I need someone to provide hosting and care for the mailing list. I will be happy to point the DNS record of xymon.com to another mailserver. Please mail me directly if you want to discuss this - of course, it is fine if you cc the Xymon list. Regards, Henrik
