custom graph problem

I have setup the graph which is showing no data. The output contains NCV value and some detailed output after that, how rrd will get the data from NCV value only and ignore other output?

data flooding by bbwin clients
by Phil.Crooker＠orix.com.au 26 Jun '13

Yes, one is supposed to be able to filter what gets passed into xymon in via client-local.cfg on the xymon server but the problem is xymond rejects everything because of "flooding" before it can be filtered. >>> On 26/06/2013 at 11:59 AM, in message <CAAnki7C0f6p_f8DYDw-n8bmDaUscn3PJ9N=sjMVkWyBybN8faw at mail.gmail.com>, Jeremy Laidman <jlaidman at rebel-it.com.au> wrote: On 26 June 2013 11:37, Phil Crooker <Phil.Crooker at orix.com.au> wrote: it appears the data flooding is somewhat but not exactly related to the MAXMSG parameters - larger values reduce the frequency of the data flooding errors. Do you need every message in the file? Perhaps you can define some "match" and/or "ignore" lines to limit what comes through. I've never used BBWin, so I don't know what's possible (and what works in central or non-central modes), but the doco suggests that you can do this in some fashion. J

cata flooding by bbwin clients
by Phil.Crooker＠orix.com.au 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

I'm setting up a number of windows 2008 and 2012 (64bit) servers with bbwin and am not able to include the evenlog msgs on systems with comparatively large eventlog output - I often get "Data flooding from 1.2.3.4 - 1st line client hostname.domain .bbwin win32" from xymond for multiple hosts, always "1st line client". I'm running xymon 4.3.10. If I remove the msgs collection (msgs.dll) from the bbwin client the problem goes away, but we do need to monitor the event logs. Just to clarify, I assume the "client" in the "1st line client" part relate to client data, ie the MAXMSG_CLIENT parameter in xymonserver.cfg, is that the case? Anyway, I ramped up the MAXMSG_DATA, CLIENT and STATUS parameters to 30MB (as a test) in xymonserver.cfg: # ipcs ------ Shared Memory Segments -------- key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status 0x01034be7 16613376 xymon 600 31457280 2 0x02034be7 16646145 xymon 600 31457280 2 0x03034be7 16678914 xymon 600 31457280 2 0x04034be7 16711683 xymon 600 31457280 2 0x05034be7 16744452 xymon 600 262144 1 0x06034be7 16777221 xymon 600 32768 1 0x07034be7 16809990 xymon 600 31457280 2 0x08034be7 16842759 xymon 600 31457280 2 0x09034be7 16875528 xymon 600 131072 1 With tcpdump I captured one client's output, it totals just under 2MB per upload, so it appears the data flooding is somewhat but not exactly related to the MAXMSG parameters - larger values reduce the frequency of the data flooding errors. Can anyone help with this, please? thanks, Phil

CGI Scripts coredumping

Henrik, Thanks for the reply, doing what you stated I was seeing the expected HTML output in the command line, the only thing that changed on Friday was I re-did the hosts.cfg. My co-worker and I both reviewed it and we didn't see any errors in that that config file, but we made the decision to restore back to a copy from a couple of weeks ago. After doing that everything is working correctly again. One last question is there a way to parse the hosts.cfg for errors, maybe I have some erroneous character or escape/control sequence in there we are not seeing.

CGI Scripts coredumping

Over the weekend the xymon CGI scripts seem to have started to coredump. In the Web server logs I see this... [Mon Jun 24 10:19:27 2013] [error] [client 10.133.24.119] Premature end of script headers: svcstatus.sh, referer: http://monaix/xymon/nongreen.html [Mon Jun 24 10:39:38 2013] [error] [client 10.133.24.119] Premature end of script headers: enadis.sh, referer: http://monaix/xymon-cgi/report.sh In the cgi-bin and cgi-secure directories I see a core file which references the actual C cgi apps, when I try to run gdb backtrace it just tells me signal 4, illegal instruction, I assume It has no more info since there are no symbols. I am really at a loss for what would have started to cause this happen, can anyone provide some insight or direction?

non-green view shows purple status
by deepakdeore2004＠gmail.com 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

All non-green view shows purple status for one of my custom column. But when I click on it, then it shows green and I see the date & time is updated on browser which mean that the data is receiving on time at xymon end. I need to drop that column and then it comes back to green again. Where should I look to avoid drop always which deletes the history also.

rrd network graphs on windows check
by Bart.Gillis＠cegeka.be 21 Jun '13

21 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.

**If i make the "INTERVAL 10" to a custom sctipt clientlaunch.cfg on client side. Then graph doesnt show any data. But it worked below 5 minutes interval. How can I make this work if INTERVAL is set to > 10.

Disabling History (2)
by C.Simmons＠criflending.com 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

The problem I am having is being able to determine why someone disabled a device after it has recovered. Does Xymon keep a log of all the comments "causes" in some file? [cid:image001.png at 01CE6E58.774A52A0] Is this logged in a file after this server comes out of disabled mode? [cid:image002.png at 01CE6E58.774A52A0] Thanks in advance, Clint From: xymon-bounces at xymon.com [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] On Behalf Of Simmons Clint Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 3:28 PM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: [Xymon] Disabling History Is there any way to pull history of disabled reasons for host? Once a host is enabled I don't see a way to find out why it was originally disabled. I also do not see a way to add additional notes to the disabled host once the host has been disabled initially. Is this possible or maybe a feature request for a future version? v4.3.10 Thanks in advance, Clint This e-mail (and any attachment) is strictly confidential and for use only by intended recipient(s).
