Hi all Server info: Host - RHEL6.5 Version - 4.3.17 Packaged by J Cleaver (Terabithia) I'm having a problem with a definition in /etc/xymon/client-local.cfg. --- [host=dmz_ap01] file:`ls -ltr /home/enmac/customer-data/CUST9100REP*CSV | tail -n 1` --- The problem is that Xymon reports bad (red) with the page showing --- -rw-r--r-- 1 username groupname14314345 Mar 10 2014 /home/username/customer-data/CUST9100REP20140310002349.CSV File is missing --- Now, the file is not missing, and Xymon is correctly showing its mode, size, ownership details, etc. Any ideas what I've done wrong here?

execute shell command on xymon clients
by deepakdeore2004＠gmail.com 14 Mar '14

Hi, Is it possible to execute command on xymon clients and it will give reply/ results to the server. Other way is to ssh to every server and execute the command but that is not possible in my environment. Instead of searching another tool I just want to utilize existing xymon server-client model to get the data. eg. use xymon client to pull the data from xymon server and will be used for inventory etc. Thanks, Deepak

Support for ZFS?
by lists＠benjamindsmith.com 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Xymon 4.3.7 doesn't seem to report on partitions created/mounted on ZFS. Here's some sample output from df: [root at hume db2]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdh2 20161204 3285836 15851228 18% / tmpfs 1461616 0 1461616 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdh1 101086 71234 24633 75% /boot /dev/sdm1 2884252924 2605050008 249900596 92% /media/a2012 bpart/db1 2995879424 728979328 2266900096 25% /bpart/db1 zfspool 12188961408 384 12188961024 1% /zfspool zfspool/db 13033537920 844576896 12188961024 7% /mnt/db zfspool/host 209715200 50983680 158731520 25% /backups/host Is there a recommended way to set up support for ZFS? I'm not looking for anything elaborate; simple reporting of free space as is the default for other FS types would be fine for my needs. -Ben

maint-senders question
by colin.coe＠gmail.com 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Hi all Just wondering if xymond can be configured so that specific nodes listed in maint-senders are only allowed to disable tests for specific clients, not all clients. For example, if client1 is listed in maint-senders, can it be configured to only be allowed to disable tests for client 2, not itself or client3? Thanks CC -- RHCE#805007969328369

Exclude Windows service Monitor for host
by brad.morris＠depi.vic.gov.au 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Hi all, We have xymon running and have the following in the analysis.cfg CLASS=win32 SVC VMTools startup=automatic status=started The problem is we have about 10 servers that are physical of over 200 servers so of course we now get warnings from xymon is reporting the service VMTools as RED. How can I configure the system to exclude the physical servers from reporting the VMTools service is not running when it is not even installed on the physical servers? Thanks, Brad.

Can't clear ghost clients - RESOLVED
by kspringer＠innovateteam.com 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

I still monitor the ghost machines. I've just given them different names. I just checked each host and the name defined in it's xymon client host file matches the current server host file. I seem to have been able to fix the issues. For each one I just added the CLIENT: option into the server hosts.cfg file. CLIENT:Buzzard The xymon server seems to want the real hostname of each machine instead of the name I'm defining in the client config file. So, I guess a workaround is to use the CLIENT: option. I've had to use that also for some special hosts that I have custom scripts running on. If I didn't add the CLIENT: option the data would not post to the server webpage. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------ Kris Springer ======================= From: Xymon [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] On Behalf Of Adam Goryachev Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 9:57 PM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: Re: [Xymon] Can't clear ghost clients On 12/03/14 15:04, Kris Springer wrote: I've got 6 ghost clients listed on my server webpage. I have a clean hosts.cfg file that definitely does not contain any of the names in the ghost list. The ghost names are from many months ago when I first setup the server. I've since change the names. I've attempted to clear the ghosts using the following commands but it doesn't clear anything. Buzzard is one of the hostnames in question. #cd /usr/lib/xymon/server/bin #xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop Buzzard" Anyone have a clue as to how to clear old ghosts and/or where to find the pesky files that are causing it? ghosts are there *because* you do not have them in your config file. They are "generated" by clients reporting status with that name. You should be able to determine where these reports are coming from based on the names and/or source information on the ghost report. If the client stops reporting, it will be removed from the ghost report after 5 minutes (I assume this is actually the timeout value of the status which is usually 5 minutes). Worst case, you can firewall port 1984 to block the incoming status reports, or use tcpdump to determine where they are coming from. Hope this is useful/helpful.

[FOUND_PHI_RECORD]grep error in alert script
by KVerMeer＠peoplenetonline.com 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

In putting together an alert script, a fairly simple grep command is used, which on occasion has given the following error. /bin/grep: (standard input): Resource temporarily unavailable Seems like this is at least partially related to several alerts coming at the same time. Has anyone seen this error before, and figured out a way to address? Thanks.
