problems with Xymon SSL

Hi, I am trying to install Xymon version 4.3.10 on CentOS CentOS Linux 6.3 Linux 2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.x86_64 on x86_64 there is a problem with SSL installation. I am running ./configure.server script When do it comes to SSL section it says: ..... Checking for OpenSSL ... Compiling with SSL library works OK Linking with SSL library works OK Checking if your SSL library has SSLv2 enabled Will support SSLv2 when testing SSL-enabled network services Xymon can use the OpenSSL library to test SSL-enabled services like https-encrypted websites, POP3S, IMAPS, NNTPS and TELNETS. If you have the OpenSSL library installed, I recommend that you enable this. Do you want to be able to test SSL-enabled services (y) ? y ... All installation process runs without problem, however after starting Xymon it cannot do any SSL based test. Like for example: Sat Nov 3 16:00:46 2012: Server timeout https://mail.bussq.com.au/ - Server timeout When I am checking /home/xymon/server/bin/xymonnet --version xymonnet version 4.3.10 LDAP library: OpenLDAP 20423 and no information about SSL, which means it is installed without SSL support. (is it correct?) OpenSSL package is installed and I can execute commands related to it. Can anyone point me out what I am doing wrong? Or what else I need to check? Thank you -- regards Leszek G Geba

Non-green page listing not complete?
by David.Mills＠ngc.com 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi! I need a hand here: when I run xymon <server> xymondboard" /usr/bin/awk -F\| '$3 !~ /green/ {print $1, $2, $3}' I get a huge list of non-green hosts. Even filtering out "clear", "blue" and "purple", I get well over 140 hosts listed. However, the current number of hosts on our "Non-green" report page is only around 20! Can anyone help me start tracking down the discrepancy? Thanks! david ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Mills Systems Administrator Northrop Grumman 512-595-1238 david.mills at ngc.com

I'm not sure to stop this, but it is becoming an epidemic for all of our hosts. The message is clearly being mis-parsed, restarting the client send a clean disk message. I have a very large message size allowed and I'm not getting warnings about messages over the limit.

Database Monitoring
by Venkatesh_S04＠infosys.com 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Hi All , We have implemented db monitoring using dbcheck.pl for our Oracle and SQL Server databases which requires the database user id and password to be stored in dbcheck.ini (its config file) .However the security team has raised concerns about this and proposed that we instead go for a agent based model like say leverage the BBWIN agent for windows to perform the database monitoring as well . Can you please let me know if this is possible to implement .If yes ,please provide some details /sample scripts for implementation .

Repeat Column Headers (names)
by ray.reuter＠gmail.com 31 Oct '12

Is there a way to have the column names repeat throughout a large list of hosts? There are 200 hosts in one sub page and it would be nice to have the column headers repeat every 20 hosts or so.

Disable standard client test?
by Johan.Sjoberg＠deltamanagement.se 31 Oct '12

Is it possible to disable one of the standard xymon-client tests? I would like to stop the ports test from running on a number of clients, since the message gets oversized, and I don't monitor anything in the ports test anyway. Regards, Johan Sjöberg

Xymon client version missing
by Rolands＠logicaltech.com.au 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

Hi, Xymon 4.3.10 running on Solaris. Is there somewhere on the xymon webpage that shows which xymon version the client has? I can't find that anywhere! My guess would be on the info page, but nothing. In the hostdata the info is not there? Should it be there? -bash-3.00$ tail -10 hostdata/host01/1351472446 atime:1351472445 (2012/10/29-12:00:45) ctime:1348161000 (2012/09/21-03:10:00) mtime:1348161000 (2012/09/21-03:10:00) [clientversion] [clock] epoch: 1351472445.982928 local: 2012-10-29 12:00:45 EST UTC: 2012-10-29 01:00:45 EST -bash-3.00$ - Roland

inode test

Hello All, Should the inode test display on the clients automagically as it does on the xymon server display or am I missing a help page? Thanks, Jim -- "If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich." ~ John Kennedy
