find host feature
by bb4＠richter-it.net 03 Sep '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody, a colleague of mine has written a very comprehensive monitor script for one of our applications and it is sending the data under some virtual hostname. Now he asked me if (since he writes the real hostname where the application runs on top of his output) the find host feature can be used to "linkify" the hostname and if you click on it you'll be directly taken to the subpage where the host resides. But all my attempts were failures. So I pass this question onto you: How should the link look to make it work? I was thinking of something like http://myxymon.server.tld/xymon-bin/findhost.sh?hostname TIA Torsten - -- +---------------------------------------------------------+ | E-mail : bb4 [at] richter-it.net | | | | Homepage: http://www.richter-it.net/ | +---------------------------------------------------------+ Download my public key from: http://gpg-keyserver.de/pks/lookup?search=0x899093AC&op=get -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAlQGpcwACgkQ7DlmxomQk6xXiACgmAZocKoCJypesGktL0yCFhOd 4sMAn1Rh8hEoSzvJqOxuVAc4ZdCkXTXL =fyQj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Greetings, My script is working as expected but if I click on the link below the name of my custom script, I'll get a white page with 'No Match'. Does anybody know how to add the descriptions of custom scripts -- like in 'conn' and 'http'. This would be a nice page for me to put a description of the test.

how to learn what is crashing my rrd handler?
by john.thurston＠alaska.gov 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

I'm having difficulty with my RRD handlers crashing and leaving gaps in my databases. I mentioned this back in April, 2014 but received no responses: http://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2014-April/039547.html Since that time, I stumbled across a client which was occasionally sending me empty messages of the "data" type. When I stopped that behavior, the behavior was corrected. The behavior has returned and I am not able to figure out how to find the cause. I _suspect_ it is another client sending me empty messages, but how do I find it now that I have several hundred clients sending "data" messages? -- Do things because you should, not just because you can.

XYMON-client getting started with xymon-server: how to send messages to other hosts
by Martin.Sperl＠amdocs.com 01 Sep '14

01 Sep '14

Hi! How can I configure xymon server to send the xymon-client portion messages (agent scripts with regards to the host) ONLY to an additional XYMON server? Is it sufficient to create /etc/default/xymon with the following lines: XYMONSERVERS="xymon-1 xymon-2" cat > /var/run/xymonclient-runtime.cfg <<EOF XYMSRV="0.0.0.0" XYMSERVERS="$XYMONSERVERS" EOF and restart xymon server? I mostly worry about those server-side generated pages based on "data" (disk,cpu,...). Thanks, Martin This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Amdocs policy statement, you may review at http://www.amdocs.com/email_disclaimer.asp

xymon 4.3.17 glitch - .netrc passwd not working for some https cont tests
by betsy.schwartz＠gmail.com 01 Sep '14

01 Sep '14

I'm testing our 4.3.17 upgrade on a dev box and finding a minor glitch, that some https tests with content and passwords in .netrc are not working. they do work with password in the host file, so it's not a blocker, but I'm hoping to avoid that. This line works: cc.example.com # noconn ssh cont; https://username:password at cc.example.com/webdav/DEMO/;Hello delayred=http:2,conn:2,ssh:2 this line does not work cc.example.com # noconn ssh cont;https://cc.example.com/webdav/DEMO/;Hello delayred=http:2,conn:2,ssh:2 with .netrc containing: machine webdav-cc2.example.com login username password password machine webdav-cc1.example.com login username password password machine webdav-cc3.example.com login username password password machine cc.example.com login username password password There are four machines in the hosts.cfg , one representing the vip and three representing physical servers. Only the first machine, webdav-cc1, works. I played around with the order in both hosts.cfg and .netrc, doesn't seem to matter. I can auth with all of them using wget at the command line so it's not a connectivity issue any thoughts? exact same host file and .netrc work on the production server thanks Betsy

Hi, I am pretty sure, but haven't actually tested this: You need to replace the "<" and ">" by "<" and ">", otherwise they probably get interpreted by your browser ;-) echo $MSG=`echo $OUT | sed 's/</</g; s/>/>/g'` Cheers, Martin On 30.08.2014 15:29, usa ims wrote: > $BB $BBDISP "status $HOSTNAME.$TESTNAME $COL `date` > $MSG" > > `$REMOVE "$FILE"` > done

results page not showing the whole output
by usaims＠yahoo.com 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

I have a server side script which does a wget call to each server that needs to be tested -- many nodes. The tests does a wget call and if the return data is good, then it's green and if it's bad, it turns red. When it turns green or red, I want the output echoed to the web page. However, it is outputting only the result of one xml tag called the <EchoTestResult> So, my green results web page ONLY outputs 'TESTBOB', rather then the whole XML -- I want the whole xml on the results page. Below, here is the script: !/bin/sh -x TESTNAME="BobProd" REGEXP="TESTBOB" CAT=/bin/cat WGET=/usr/bin/wget GREP=/bin/grep REMOVE=/bin/rm do_fetch() { wget --post-file=/usr/lib/xymon/server/ext/echotest.xml --header="Content-Type: text/xml" --header="SOAPAction: \"http://xxx.com/EchoTest\"" -O - http://$2/xxxxxx.asmx | tee /tmp/rodney.txt } FILE="/tmp/rodney.txt" $BBHOME/bin/bbhostgrep "$TESTNAME" | while read IP HOSTNAME OTHER; do if do_fetch "$HOSTNAME" "$IP" | grep "$REGEXP" > /dev/null ; then OUT="$(cat "$FILE")" COL=green MSG="${OUT}" else OUT="$(cat "$FILE")" COL=red MSG="${OUT}" fi $BB $BBDISP "status $HOSTNAME.$TESTNAME $COL `date` $MSG" `$REMOVE "$FILE"` done Here is the output from the logs -- it is outputting the whole xml: + cat /tmp/rodney.txt + OUT=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><EchoTestResponse xmlns="http://xxx.com/"><EchoTestResult>TESTBOB</EchoTestResult></EchoTestResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope> + COL=green + MSG=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><EchoTestResponse xmlns="http://xxx.com/"><EchoTestResult>TESTBOB</EchoTestResult></EchoTestResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope> + date + /usr/lib/xymon/server/bin/xymon 10.xxx.xxxx.xxx status 10.218.161.77.BobProd green Sat Aug 30 09:15:50 EDT 2014 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><EchoTestResponse xmlns="http://xxx.com/"><EchoTestResult>TESTBOB</EchoTestResult></EchoTestResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope> + /bin/rm /tmp/rodney.txt Any help will be greatly appreciated on why I can't get the whole xml on the results page. ~
