graph coming into DERIVE formant instead of GAUGE
by deepakdeore2004＠gmail.com 02 May '13

I see $rrdtool dump IdAp.rrd|grep type is DERIVE and so no graphs is coming on browser. Below is the file configurations. client send the data in NCV format, eg. ApacheIdleThread: 50 xymonserver.cfg: - if_load=devmon,*IdAp=ncv*,temp=devmon,paging,mdc,mdchitpct,cics,dsa,getvis,maxuser,nparts,xymongen,xymonnet,xymonproxy,xymond" NCV_IdAp="ApacheIdleThread:GAUGE" graphs.cfg: - [IdAp] TITLE Apache Idlethrd info YAXIS Idlethreads DEF:ApacheIdleThread=IdAp.rrd:ApacheIdleThread:AVERAGE LINE1:ApacheIdleThread#44CCAA:ApacheIdleThread GPRINT:ApacheIdleThread:LAST:Idle Threads \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:ApacheIdleThread:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:ApacheIdleThread:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:ApacheIdleThread:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n

Feature request: text-searchable trends page
by jlaidman＠rebel-it.com.au 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hi Because Xymon is so awesomely extensible, I now have dozens of graphs on the trends page for many of my servers. That makes it time-consuming to find what I'm looking for. The text in the graphs is not searchable, of course, but there's no actual text on the page. Would I'd really like is to have a text label next to each graph, so that I can do a browser search for the graph I'm looking for. Even better might be a graph index at the top, to click down to the desired graph. While it would be nice, the text string doesn't have to be the text from the graph, just something consistent and sensible, such as the "ALT" text (eg "disk" or "la") which is essentially the stanza name in graphs.cfg (eg [disk] and [la]).

Compiling a static linked xymon client for RHEL 6.x
by gjs＠sonnit.dk 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hi all I have searched the archives for a solution to this problem, but none of the discussed issues helped me with a final solution. My goal is to monitor an appliance which is based on RHEL 6.x and for that reason I have tried to build a static linked xymon-client on CentOS 6.4 The client compiles just fine when using dynamic linked libs, but when trying to compile a static linked with "CGLAGS = -static" in the Makefile it fails with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[1]: *** [test-endianness] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gjs/Downloads/xymon-4.3.10/lib' gmake: *** [lib-build] Error 2 Any wise ideas on how to proceed with this ? :) Best regards /Gorm

CONN status clear on only one host
by minaqva＠hotmail.com 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hello, I am using xymon server on Centos 5.7 machine for monitoring 15 Centos machines. On every machine there is xymon client installed. Everything works fine, except on one machine host1 at domain1.com (Centos 6.0) conn status shows white face, but the message is Service conn on host1 at domain1.com is OK (up). Also, if I try fping host1 at domain1.com, from the machine with xymon server, I get: host1 at domain1.com is alive. All other services (cpu,memory,procs..) shows green face. Thank you for your help Milana

I am not very familiar with CGI, but knowing that it is possible we can do it. Thanks a lot!

xymon mail service
by A.Chervonets＠cominder.eu 29 Apr '13

You need just regular sendmail working on the host. If You can send e-mail from OS with mail or mails - then it should work for XyMon too (sometimes You may also need to adjust sendmail configuration for masquarading, SMTP gateway etc). Contact Your system administrator or check web for "how to setup sendmail on linux or unix". Best regards, Andrey Chervonets ---------------------- SIA CoMinder http://www.cominder.eu/

Web UI security - how to implement access filter per group/host
by A.Chervonets＠cominder.eu 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Good day! Now web-page is protected at web-server (Apache) level only. I see we can protect exact directory and may be file/script like: http://host:port/xymon/p_cominder/p_cominder.html so we can allow some users see only some group pages. But this does not protect direct metric links like: http://host:port/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=miminos.cominder.eu&SERVICE=di… if I know other (not my) host name I can get this information event I am not in group of that host. And also at non-green Systems report user see ALL non-green hosts http://host:port/xymon/nongreen.html Question: Does XyMon team have plans to implement groups/pages protection? Or may be somebody know how to protect it with current version? At present moment the only idea I see to have XyMon web UI as backgroud service and have foreground application with it's own authorisation - which will then request background XyMon service/web-page, filter out only what is required and return results to end user based on user's permissions and groups. It will take time, but I can write such application. But, as result we have 2 applications instead of one. May be there is more simple solution?

by giovanni.mf＠gmail.com 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hi! It is possible to use the directive "include FILE" in analysis.cfg? I'm already using it in hosts.cfg but would be very useful to use in analysis.cfg as well, since its very easy to this file get very big. Maybe some patch available. Thank you

how to get the alias (diff hostname than the actual) in mail alert?
by deepakdeore2004＠gmail.com 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

we are using NAME for the odd hostnames on amazon EC2, NAME:server01-prod But when we get the mail alerts, the actual servername comes which is confusing, how can we set the same name of the host in mail which is set in NAME option in hosts.cfg. Thanks, Deepak
