You need to use -r to recursively copy. cheers, P ________________________________ From: Xymon on behalf of Kris Springer Sent: Wednesday, 27 August 2014 1:41 PM To: Stef Coene; xymon at xymon.com Subject: Re: [Xymon] how to migrate historical data I tried using scp to copy the following directories over to the new server. /var/lib/xymon/hist/ /var/lib/xymon/histlogs/ /var/lib/xymon/rrd/ But I keep getting 'not a regular file' errors on the rrd and histlogs files. I need the rrd data. The graphs are really all I care about.

If the rrd's are not compatibel (32 bit -> 64 bit) you can export the rrd to xml on the old server, transfer the xml file and import the xml to an rrd. I juist did that for one of our customers :) Stef _______________________________________________ Xymon mailing list Xymon at xymon.com<mailto:Xymon at xymon.com> http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon

I've built a second Xymon server that I plan to use as my primary, but I need to pull all the historical data from the old one. What's a quick way to do that? Can I just add the new server's IP into a config file and have the old one just pump all the data over? Signature - Kris Thank you. ------------------------------------------------ Kris Springer

message bodies now coming as attachments?

This happens with messages sent from yahoo.com adresses. Due to yahoo's rather heavy-handed way of fighting spam, it has become necessary to wrap messages inside an outer (empty) message which has the Xymon mailing list as sender instead of the original yahoo sender. This was implemented on Saturday, see http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2014-August/040093.html Regards, Henrik

swap is at 100%

There should be a link to show client data; that will show what the client script sent you. Look that over to see if it's interpreting it properly. If it looks like it is, any further diagnosis is on the client OS side. For instance, you can maybe figure out which processes are using a lot of memory with "top", telling it to sort by virtual memory size.

Hi, I just got an alert on the bb2.html page that a service with the color green with the following date on the output. ‘ Jul 29 15:37:45 EDT 2014 - Memory OK’ Went to purple with an output of the correct date: ‘Mon Aug 25 11:06:51 EDT 2014 - Memory OK’ This has been up and running for about a week – why is it saying July 29? usaims

purple

Greetings, I have my xymon environment up and running for about a week before we went live -- didn't get any purple and everything seems to be running green. As soon as I went live, I'm getting sporadic purple icons on various services. I log into the nodes that have the purple and don't see anything wrong. Where should I start troubleshooting? usaims

While I’m just another user, and can’t say for sure, here’s some things to think about: Is there any pattern to whether these are server-side tests vs client-side? Has there been any increase in network traffic to/from the server since you went live? Is the connectivity between clients and servers reliable even under load? I’m thinking that somehow, things are busier now, so that some test results are getting dropped. Have you checked all the relevant log files? (Yes, others may have seen such things too, to some degree, depending on network reliability, number of clients, load on clients or servers, etc) On Aug 25, 2014, at 9:29 AM, usa ims via Xymon <xymon at xymon.com> wrote: > > From: usa ims <usaims at yahoo.com> > Subject: purple > Date: August 25, 2014 at 9:26:55 AM EDT > To: xymon at xymon.com > > > Greetings, > > I have my xymon environment up and running for about a week before we went live -- didn't get any purple and everything seems to be running green. > > As soon as I went live, I'm getting sporadic purple icons on various services.
