Service smtp on hostname is not OK : Unexpected service response

Den 2014-03-25 16:54, Wilcox, Theodore A -FS skrev: >> >> Which SMTP server software are you using? >> > These are Domino and Lotus Notes servers running on AIX. okay, that's a bit unusual. Might be why it hasn't shown up before. Would it be possible for you to do a network "snif" of the traffic between Xymon and these servers? E.g. on the Xymon server run "tcpdump -s 1500 -w xymon-smtp.dump host <ip-of-smtp-server> and tcp port 25". (Assuming this is not encrypted smtp). Thanks, Henrik

Xymon RPM repo
by colin.coe＠gmail.com 30 Mar '14

Hi Japheth Just wondering if you could split the 32 and 64bit RPMs into separate repos? Something like http://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/el5/x86_64 for 64bit and http://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/el5/i386 for 32bit I ask as I've just spent a bit of time trying to workout why my 64bit servers we preferring the 32bit xymon-client RPM. Thanks CC -- RHCE#805007969328369

xymongrep for windows

Hi, Has anyone already attempted to compile xymongrep as a standalone windows program under MinGW or some such? I am looking to add externals under BBWin and have these externals configured from etc\hosts.cfg to make them as much like native Unix extensions as I can. Thanks -- Andy

ORA tests with xymon
by tawilcox＠fs.fed.us 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

The hosts file from Big Brother had the keyword "ora" for testing the oracle port. Xymon just missed an oracle server failing that test in Big Brother. We just copied the hosts.cfg file from one to the other, for the most part. So the oracle servers still have the key word "ora" in them. Reading the man pages it shows an oracle ping test as "oratns". Is this the same test as "ora" in BB? The alert had cleared in BB by the time I found this, so I can't test it. Do I need to change all of the "ora" keywords to "oratns"?

status reports from systems without xymon-client
by JAlexander＠feeneywireless.com 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

All, I have systems I wish to monitor but it will not be possible to place a xymon-client on them. I can create a script on these systems (in LUA) to collect and send the needed data though. Is there an API by which I can pass the information without having to use the xymon executable? Thanks.

localclient and file monitoring
by dirk.kastens＠uni-osnabrueck.de 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hi, it seems that file monitoring is not working with clients that are running in localmode (xymon-server 4.3.16). The client-local.cfg doesn't exist in the client directory. Entries in the server's client-local.cfg are ignored if the client is running in localmode. So, if I want to monitor files on a localmode client, I have to create the file logfetch.<client>.cfg in the client's BBTMP directory and enter the file: or log: entries there. Then file monitoring works. Can you change the client code, so that a localmode client can use its own client-local.cfg file? Dirk

ackloledge or disable
by xymon＠elysiria.fr 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hi all. My monitoring shows me some alarms that I cannot correct just now. Should I "acknoledge" them (and still see a red light in my report), or "disable" them (and stop seeing something is wrong)? What differences do you see between those 2? In which cases do you use one or the other one? Thanks. -- Christian

Strange disk test condition
by novosirj＠ca.rutgers.edu 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hi all, I run Xymon 4.3.12. I see I had an alert from a server earlier tonight at 99% of / full. However, it is 66% now and no evidence that this ever happened on the graph of that filesystem. Is it possible for a disk to fill for a very short period and never hit the graph? I don't know what could have even done that. -- ____ *Note: UMDNJ is now Rutgers-Biomedical and Health Sciences* || \\UTGERS |---------------------*O*--------------------- ||_// Biomedical | Ryan Novosielski - Sr. Systems Programmer || \\ and Health | novosirj at rutgers.edu - 973/972.0922 (2x0922) || \\ Sciences | OIT/EI-Academic Svcs. - ADMC 450, Newark `'

Have network tests report yellow instead of red?
by john.thurston＠alaska.gov 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

I must be blind, but I am unable to find a way to have a xymonnet test result go yellow instead of red. If I have the following line in my hosts.cfg: 0.0.0.0 foo.bar.com # telnet I'd like the telnet test to report yellow instead of red when the port test is not responding. I see I can prefix it with "?" to have it return clear instead of red, but how can I make it return yellow instead of red? -- Do things because you should, not just because you can.
