Exemplary patch in the attachment. This patch contains potential problem: loss a compatibility with bb's scripts with $PS. Perhaps it should be considered. Examle using with vzprocps: TOP="/usr/bin/vztop -E 0" PS="/bin/vzps -E 0" -- Regards, Sergey

Hi, I'm trying to run XYmon on a virtualized openVZ Debian 7 and I have those errors : Cannot find /proc/version - is /proc mounted? cat: /proc/filesystems: Permission denied df: option requires an argument -- 'x' Try `df --help' for more information. Cannot find /proc/version - is /proc mounted? Cannot find /proc/version - is /proc mounted? Cannot find /proc/version - is /proc mounted? Any chance I could use XYmon to monitoring this server ? -- LMJ "May the source be with you my young padawan"

regex problems
by Paul.Root＠CenturyLink.com 07 Mar '14

My brain isn't processing today. I've had 1 Windows machine infecting my network for a while now, and finally decided that I should have it give more than ping fail. So I brought up BBWin this morning. That was fine, but I immediately get ports and procs in red ,because I'm looking for the non-existent ssh daemon. So I'm trying to get rid of those in analysis.cfg: HOST=* EXHOST=%(iad|apa|stn)(380esx|win).* PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]22)$" state=LISTEN TRACK=sshd TEXT=SSHD HOST=* EXHOST=%(iad|apa|stn)(380esx|ccmp|ccmt|win).* PROC sshd 1 70 yellow PROC sshd 1 100 red TRACK=sshd "TEXT=ssh daemon (sshd)" These lines work fine for the rest of the machines referenced. They match iad380esx1 through iad380esx8, as well as apa and stn the same way. The second also matchs iadccmp1 and iadccmt1. But they don't want to match iadwin1 What am I doing wrong?

by ejacobs＠thomaspublishing.com 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Every morning, sometime between 5 and 7, a particvular machine fills up a disk and then, after a while it goes back down (backups followed by clean up). Can I use "Downtime" for the disk alert? -- Eric Jacobs Thomas Publishing Company Infrastructure and operations Information Technology Group Phone: 215-494-7312 Email: ejacobs at thomaspublishing.com

clear status when ping is ko
by germain1.malherbe＠orange.com 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hi All For several reasons, xymonnet is disabled on my Xymon. Another script to check ping connectivity has been coded. This morning, a host has shutdown and the "ping" test has turned red. 30 minutes later, the other local tests for this host have turned clear. I thought it was xymonnet which generate these clear. I can see "Checked with ping: Yes" in the "info" test Is a ping test exists (even if xymonnet is disabled) and, if ko, sends clear status (instead of purple status) for other tests executed on server ?

Alert testing failing on time criteria
by SKreien＠la-z-boy.com 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hey everyone, Running into something I don't understand trying to test my alerts.cfg. I have a line in alerts.cfg like so: HOST=lzbs1101.na.lzb.hq SERVICE=ADUsers TIME=*:0000:0800 And I'm trying to test it out using this command line: xymond_alert --test lzbs1101.na.lzb.hq ADUsers --duration=6 --color-red --time=3:0523:0611 And the result I'm getting back is: Failed 'HOST=lzbs1101.na.lzb.hq SERVICE=ADUsers TIME=*:0000:0800' (time criteria) Can someone help me understand why it's not matching on time? I have it set to every day between midnight and 8am in alerts.cfg, and the timeframe I'm trying to test is within that window. So why isn't it matching? Thanks!

Another feature wish
by christian.becker＠rhein-zeitung.net 05 Mar '14

Hello out there, i'm asking if it would be possible to implement a mechanism to generate a release info for a monitored Linux / Unix client node. For example, that we have the full real name of the operating system, for example on the Info page. For one example out of my currently 101 Linux servers, there's only a line saying simply "SUSE LINUX 11", but if I login to the server and look into the file /etc/issue, I see that the OS relase is "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3". Sure, I could go ahead and write a script that provides me with a separate column containing this info, but i was wondering if it would be easy to implement into the Xymon basics?

umlauts in xymon
by hj.beckers＠kreis-steinfurt.de 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

As the title says: If I enter a "ä" into the following directive "group-only apps|... |ikol|laemmkomm| ..." instead of the "ae" the column is ignored when xymon displays the page. "file" on linux characterizes the file as UTF-8, firefox page information shows the same char set. Coding the "ä" as a html entity makes no difference. Yours Hermann-Josef Beckers
