alerting on percentage of memory a process is using
by Paul.Root＠centurylink.com 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi, We have a server that has some software that has a memory leak. Upgrading is a long and arduous task. In the meantime, we want to watch the processes so that when they hit 15% or something, we can get alerted. The PROC line in analysis.cfg is just for quantity. So I was thinking I could pull the data out of xymon, and check the process table on the server. I was thinking it was something with xymondboard, but that doesn't seem to be it. Can someone point me in the right direction for this? Or maybe it would be better to just have an external script run the ps directly?

Hello. Can I escape "<>" in log messages ? For example I setup to analize /var/log/maillog for "Over quota" message. Displayed string is: Oct 7 15:28:22 sendmail[4183]: r974LtLZ002344: to=, delay=07:06:27, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrusv2, pri=2116609, relay=localhost, dsn=4.2.2, stat=Deferred: 452 4.2.2 Over quota E-Mail is missing but it should be in "to=<somemail at mydom.tld>,". -- Regards, Sergey

histlogs cleanup
by Rolands＠logicaltech.com.au 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi, I got this xymon ext script checking a Sun StorageTek 6180 array. It works quite well, each run generates a lot of status and data. The problem is it generates about 35000 files in Xymonserver: xymon/data/histlogs/a6180/<test> a month. I'm very interested in keeping history as in graphs and alerts. What are these histlogs files used for by the xymonserver? If they are used just to generate things as they come in then it's no problem deleting them every 2 weeks or so. But if they are used to generate graphs or see alerts history etc then you really don't want to delete them Could anyone shed some light on this? - Roland

[xymon] TLSv1 support for https?
by david.gore＠verizon.com 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Any chance for a patch to get TLSv1 support for https? I have exactly one URL which is a load balancer that will only return a good status if you specify TLSv1. I use this command to test: openssl s_client -tls1 -connect my.ip.addr:443 I tried ssl3 and ssl2 but the results echo what I see on Xymon which is a failure: 139728778356552:error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number:s3_pkt.c:337: Any workarounds?

Getting Xymon client to send from a specific IP address
by waa-hobbitml＠revpol.com 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hi everyone. I have a few servers which have multiple IP addresses bound to the same ethernet interface. I am not sure how the Xymon client chooses which IP to use when sending. In a post from Henrik in a different thread it seems like it may be the underlying OS that chooses. My problem is that on a recently built server, the Xymon client reports are coming from the server's aliased IP rather than the primary IP on the interface, so this host's reports show up in the ghost client report. Any way to force it to use an IP. Thanks for any help -- Bill Arlofski Reverse Polarity, LLC http://www.revpol.com/ -- Not responsible for anything below this line --
