Xymon4.3.10 Menus
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Under 4.3.0-0.beta2, the menus were located and easy to add your own area under /home/xymon/server/www/menu In the menu.css menu_items.js menu.js and menuy_tpl.js files. How do you add your own menu location like: Additional Menus ? I placed all the items that I added under this main menu heading with some going multiple levels down. Is there a document explaining the menu setup? Thanks, Tom Schmitt Senior IT Staff - R&D L-3 Communication Systems West 640 North 2200 West P.O.

Xymon report start time outside of range of requested report
by robert.herbstzuber＠bc.edu 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Hello there. I'm just a user of our Xymon system not an admin. We monitor about 800+ systems and on a few when I ask to see the report from 1-12-2012 to 1-31-2012 there are few machine reporting the CONN and VMWARE test being for 1-28-2013 which is the current date. We are looking to compile SLA uptime stats and I do no have confidence in the fact that these numbers are outside of the given range I'm asking for. Thanks Robert

analysis.cfg ignoring file existence
by Michael.Beatty＠sherwin.com 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Is there a way to check an MTIME on a file, AND ignore its existence. In other words, I don't care if the file exists or not, but I want to be alerted if the file does exists AND was last modified over 24 hours ago.

TS - Other web pages and cgi scripts ?
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

I have multiple custom web pages on 4.3.0.0-beta2. The .html files are in the /var/www/html directory The associated cgi-bin files are in /var/www/cgi-bin/kw/xymon directory or /var/www/cgi-bin directory If I place a simple test web page env.html that just lists the environment variables that apache know about in my new Xymon 4.3.10 server, I cannot get the screen to come up. If I place the web page in: /home/xymon/server/www directory, (linked it) the screen will come up just fine. But the env.sh and proccgi.c files are not available to the script so the interaction will not work. 'proccgi.c' program is called in the env.sh script and it gathers the POST variables and passed them to your script env.sh as FORM_variable1 ... FORM_variable2, etc. If I place the cgi-bin program and script in the /home/xymon/cgi-bin directory, the web page cannot find the cgi script env.sh. Is there a way to modify the httpd.conf to allow it to see both locations for web pages and for cgi-bin script? This has brought my porting of the system to a halt! :=( All assistance is greatly appreciated! I know that there must be some simple way to modify the apache configs files to allow this to happen, but I have not found it yet. If anyone wants to try the simple script, I can send them: env.html env.sh and proccgi.c I use this simple script for testing first. It works just fine on my older Xymon servers and my Asterisk VoIP (PiaF) servers, etc. All are CentOS servers. I have even use it to test PBX-in-a-Flash(PiaF) VoIP Servers on the Raspberry Pi with success. Thanks, Tom Schmitt Senior IT Staff - R&D L-3 Communication Systems West 640 North 2200 West P.O.

Understanding the alerts.cfg file
by Martin.Ward＠colt.net 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Hi all, I have still not sorted out my alerts issues so thought I would ask a few simple questions in the hope of getting more understanding of the way it works. Are the HOST and PAGE keywords in the alerts.cfg file mutually exclusive or can they be used in combination? In other words can I have: PAGE=p1 HOST=h1 SERVICE=ssh SCRIPT /opt/xymon/server/ext/restart.sh HOST=* SERVICE=ssh SCRIPT /opt/xymon/server/ext/email_p1.sh PAGE=p2 HOST=* SERVICE=ssh SCRIPT /opt/xymon/server/ext/email_p2.sh to run a restart script if ssh dies on h1, run the email_p1.sh script if ssh dies on any other server on the page and run email_p2.sh if ssh dies on any server in p2? |\/| [Description: Colt email signature FINAL] Martin Ward Manager, Technical Services Service Operations DDI:+44 (0) 20 7863 5218 / Fax: +44 (0)20 7863 5610 / Mob: +44 (0) 7971 97 77 21 / www.colt.net<http://www.colt.net/> Colt Technology Services, Beaufort House, 15 St. Botolph Street, London, EC3A 7QN, UK.
