Bogus Dovecot upgraded libs warnings
by jwinius＠umrk.nl 02 Jun '22

02 Jun '22

Hi folks, Recently I upgraded a Dovecot IMAP host and now Xymon regularly warns about linked libs that have been upgraded for many of the "dovecot/imap" processes. When the users log out and the processes disappear, the warning disappears as well. Obviously, these warning are bogus. Would anyone happen to know what to add to /etc/xymon/libs.local.yaml, presumably, to prevent this warning from occurring? Old host: * Debian 10 (buster) * Dovecot 2.3.4.1 * Xymon client: 4.3.28 New host: * Debian 11 (bullseye) * Dovecot 2.3.13 * Xymon client: 4.3.30 Xymon host (in both cases): * Debian 11 (bullseye) * Xymon server: 4.3.30 Cheers, Jaap

Use Apache to redirect to HTTPS. Done. This is what we do.

How do I get windows events to turn red?
by me＠tdiehl.org 11 May '22

11 May '22

Hi, I am using the win_ps_client to monitor a bunch of windows servers. In looking at the documentation it appears that I should be able to get Xymon to alert on different events. I have added eventlogswanted:information,Application,System:2048:Warning,Critical,error to client-local.cfg and eventlog:System in the analysis.cfg file. When I do this I see various messages when I click on msgs dot. However, I cannot figure out how to get it to turn red when it sees the events I want to monitor. In the docs I see mention of include and exclude parameters but I do not understand exactly how I need to configure things. I would like to be able to alert on certain windows event IDs Is this possible? If yes, how do I actually configure xymon to do this? Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org

Trouble With Alert Format
by jstk888＠outlook.com 06 May '22

06 May '22

Hello fellow xymoners, I have recently setup monitoring of the existence of files in a particular directory, and this seems to be working well. When I setup an alert for a "red" condition, I receive an email message with what appears to be some html tags within it, eg: &red <a href="/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?CLIENT=myserver.com&SECTION=file:/path/to/myfile">/path/to/myfile</a> File is a - should be file I have tried setting the alert "FORMAT" to TEXT, PLAIN and SMS, but this doesn't seem to have any effect. I have also tried sending the alert through the html_mail.pl extension scripts, and this doesn't seem to have any effect either. All I really want is a plain text message, which is easy to read. Does anyone know how I could clean this up? Example Alert Config: HOST=myserver.com MAIL alerts at someone.who.cares.com REPEAT=240m COLOR=red FORMAT=TEXT Regards, Jonathan

Can Xymon alert for a missing disk on windows?
by me＠tdiehl.org 28 Apr '22

28 Apr '22

Hi, Is there a way to have Xymon alert if a disk is missing on a Windows server? I have the win_ps_client installed on them and I see the disks listed in the client data. Is it possible to configure Xymon to alert is one of those disks is missing? We had a server that one of the disks went off line after updates were installed and the machine was rebooted (Thanks Microsoft). Xymon was happy but the users were not. My Google foo has not yielded anything useful but I feel like this should be possible without resorting to Powershell weirdness. Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org

clients in localmode cannot check files
by zechner＠vrvis.at 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hi, I've been running my clients in localmode for a while now and one thing that's not working at all, is checking for files. In a default configuration, there must be an entry in client-local.cfg and in analysis.cfg, but this does not apply to localmode. My file checks are configured in localclient.cfg on the clients (like the rest of the checks, which are working fine and as expected). I found an old question regarding this [1], but I was not able to solve my problems with this approach unfortunately. My file checks are just being ignored when clients are using localmode. Is there some trick to it respectively what am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance! Cheers Christoph [1] https://lists.xymon.com/archive/2014-March/039417.html

Server migration
by stella＠rider.edu 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

Running an old version on old hardware and looking to migrate this to a new VM on RHEL8. I'd also most likely use Terbithia RPMs for this I saw a couple of posts on how to move all historical data over. Question for those who've done this, how did you handle IP addresses? I thought about setting up the server with a new temp IP address and have it do all outbound tests to make sure everything works. Then change the IP when decommissioning the old one. This would allow remote tests to report back. Or would you set up as new IP and have clients report to both, then remove the old one? TIA. -- ?(((=((===???(((================================================
