Question about Combo test / hosts
by leen.smit＠vtspn.nl 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Dear All, I'm trying to get the combo test working.. At this point I do see the combo test on the status page, but when I try to get details about one of the tests I get a message "no such host" My question is.. What should the host name be, and where to configure it?? Should I send the host name from the client? Or should the host exists under that name in the hosts.cfg? Current setup: combo.cfg: GRN.Koppelingen = ( vnoasu4001.KoppelingenGRNA || vnobsu4002.KoppelingenGRNB ) hosts.cfg relevant lin: group-only |Koppelingen| 145.119.54.28 GRN # COMMENT:"Prod GRN" $ ./combostatus --no-update combo status GRN.blueview green Tue Jul 2 11:27:08 2013 (vnoasu4001.BlueviewA||vnobsu4002.BlueviewB) = (1||1) = 1 &clear <a href="/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=vnoasu4001&SERVICE=BlueviewA">vno asu4001.BlueviewA</a> &clear <a href="/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=vnobsu4002&SERVICE=BlueviewB">vno bsu4002.BlueviewB</a> On the client: TEST="KoppelingenGRNA" MACHINE="vnoasu4001.KoppelingenGRNA" LINE="status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date` Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Graphing problem
by dewelker＠gmail.com 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Maybe I have a unique problem, but I'm hoping someone can help me out as I have scoured the archives, tried all kinds of combinations, and still haven't found the perfect solution. Problem: I have a column that reports a list of system and user processes (my-conn). I have a script that gets the summary data into a file (counts) in NCV format. I would like to report the summary data as a graph on the same column as the list of systems and processes (my-conn) I initially had both my-conn and counts=ncv in my TEST2RRD variable, which allowed my graph to show up, but I was getting all kinds of DS errors with the my-conn rrd, even after making it type GAUGE. I also was sending status messages. I tried sending data messages, since I don't want a separate column displayed with the summary data, which didn't seem to help. Sometimes I get links on the page, or sometimes I get the graph on the trends page, but not the column page. I've tried all kinds of variation on the theme... TEST2RRD=counts=ncv, my-conn=counts TEST2RRD=counts, my-conn TEST2RRD=counts TEST2RRD=my-conn=ncv GRAPH=counts GRAPH=my-conn GRAPH=my-conn=ncv Bottom line, can this be done? If so, what should I be sending, and what should the variable values be? Thanks! David

Ifstat rrd file and graph missing for host
by Johan.Sjoberg＠deltamanagement.se 02 Jul '13

Hi. I noticed that the bits/sec graph is missing for one of our monitored hosts. All other graphs are fine. If I check the filesystem, the ifstat.eth0.rrd file is missing as well. What could cause this? Regards, Johan

pagegen.c: use fixed column width for system name
by wilbert.jeuken＠xperi.nl 01 Jul '13

Anyone.....? Van: Wilbert Jeuken Verzonden: donderdag 20 juni 2013 15:54 Aan: 'xymon at xymon.com' Onderwerp: pagegen.c: use fixed column width for system name Hello, I'm using one page to list all the managed systems, and would like to create a more homogenous look of that page. To this end, I've changed the pagegen.c code so that the generated tables are aligned on the left side of the screen. Now, I want to align the check icons so they all start at the same offset (as to avoid a "jumpy" page on which the check icons don't align nicely). I would like to do this by assigning a fixed width tot the column containing the system name (in my case, the NAME tag in de hostst.cfg). If this field has the same width for all systems, all check icons should also start at the same offset. I've been fiddling around in pagegen.c, but I can't figure out what to change to get the above mentioned layout. Can anybody point me in the right direction? kindest regards, Wilbert Jeuken

http checks for multiple domains in the same server
by dhaycurrie＠leisurefitness.com 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

We have a web server that has 7 web sites running, and about 100 domains. Most of the domains are in the same web site. Currently I have listed the most of the important sites, and I am trying to also get dnsreg (more on that later). What I would like to do, is run http check on these sites once a day, and not every day. Is it possible? Without changing the default http setting? (the top critical sites I want to check on default schedule) While I am on the domain topic, I recently moved the server from hobbit to xymon, but the package deleted most of the hobbit folders automatically and I don't remember exactly which folders I had to put the dnsreg check. I though it was a server/ext but it is possible it is %XYMONHOME/client/ext?

Xymon server to monitor off-site cluster [private nodes]
by denicoloj＠gmail.com 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Xymon users & admins, I write to you in seek of help for a problem that may be simple for some but I am having trouble tackling. I will try my best explain: I wish to monitor a scientific computing cluster, these are the details: There is a head node and 9 slave blade servers - 10 nodes total. The slave servers are all connected to a private network, therefore The head node has 2 active network devices - 1 for the private network, and 1 for the outer network to allow remote access to the cluster. This is the ONLY entry/outgoing point If the slave nodes need to go out to the internet for updates, ect.. they connect through a proxy on the head node. My xymon server is located off-site but firewall settings allow communication between the head node of the cluster and my xymon server. I am currently just probing network tests on the head node, I did NOT install a xymon client or server yet on any node of the cluster. How can I get a report pushed / pulled to my xymon server so that I can monitor and test all aspects of EVERY NODE? I want to be able to receive hardware and custom tests as well. Do I need to setup some sort of relay xymon server on the head node, or can I just configure the xymon slave clients to use tinyproxy which is already set up on the head node? Thanks a lot in advance for any help! PS: this cluster is running hadoop, are there any xymon custom scripts/tests for development & computing servers like this? Maybe something specific to clusters, library / dev environment checks or hadoop ? * * *Joseph De Nicolo* *Secure Database Administrator * *Center for Complex Network Research <http://www.barabasilab.com>* *Northeastern University*

rrd network graphs on windows check
by bacaselo＠gmail.com 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hello, Since january 2012 I continued the development of an alternative windows monitoring agent that is based on the Nagios client NSCient++ See the checkwin monitor in Xymonton or http://code.google.com/p/checkwin/ I would like to add some network statistics the same way as we have in the BBWin client. I wrote the script that captures the inbound and outbound traffic values through the “netstat –e” command but I don’t know how I have to load it to the Xymon server. In the source code I found the “do_ifstat.c” module In which I could find the code /* IP Ibytes Obytes */ /* 192.168.0.1 1818 1802 */ static const char *ifstat_bbwin_exprs[] = { "^([a-zA-Z0-9.:]+)\\s+([0-9]+)\\s+([0-9]+)" }; Can someone explain me to which xymon test I should post my ifstat info? I see that the network graphics are only visible in the trends but I don’t find what is expected by xymon to generate the rrd files. Best regards, Bart

data flooding by bbwin clients

No, the section in the client-local.cfg file gets sent to the client, so that the messages are filtered on the client before being sent to the Xymon server. The "client" messages can be made smaller when filtered this way. J OK, did some experimentation: Using log:security:5120 (for example) results in "[logfile:log:security] ERROR: The system cannot find file specified". I read that someone had tried eventlog:security:5120 but that gets the same error with tlog:security being not found. This is from tcpdump and could not find it in any logs. So, randomly trying things, I don't get the error if I use msgs:security:5120 but is is unclear that this is recognised by the client. In all cases, all entries have no effect - having the entry for a specific eventlog or not, having ignore statements, even putting :128 to limit the amount of data) and all logs are sent to xymond in their entirety and appear on the msgs page for that host under "Full log". I'll perhaps take this up with the bbwin list. cheers, Phil
