Hello Sometimes, it is a pain to search the "info" colomn specially when you have many many other columns. This info columns is particular, it is vital information inside like Adresses IP, alerting rules, etc. So, i was wondering if it is possible to change the order and to set it AT FIRST position in the hobbit page overview (?). Thanks Cheers Nico

Server itself is a ghost client
by Paul.Root＠CenturyLink.com 28 Oct '12

You probably didn't restart the xymon client (on a server it is run by the server) after you changed the name of the server.

Server itself is a ghost client
by pacsot＠vipmail.hu 28 Oct '12

Dear Xymon community I'm a newbie to Xymon, to monitoring, and in general to Linux. Until now I was able to avoid asking questions, but now I'm stuck. 1. I installed a debian linux, Hostname: debian 2. I installed apache 3. I installed Xymon 4. I changed the hostname to "Xymon" - Now I have a ghost client called "debian", sending data from 192.168.1.105 (the actual IP address of the server) - And I have a "Xymon" called host. and I have a conn test from 127.0.0.1, a bbd and a http test, all showing green. But no cpu/disk/memory tests. Frankly I'm lost. As I'm a rookie I can't find the file to edit in the vast webs of the sybolic links in the linux filesystem :) CLIENTHOSTNAME="Xymon" but wich file to edit? -- Tengermély Tisztelettel: Pacsó Tamás

Netbackup client status script?
by stella＠rider.edu 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

We are finally migrating out of Tivoli to Symantec's Netbackup. We currently have a backup tab for each client which would report some stats - number of files, number of bytes, and status. Looking at doing something similar, however, it seems that most of the status commands are only available to be run on the netbackup master or media servers. I've found the following nagios script: http://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=2566… But in order not to reinvent the wheel, does anyone have something similar? Further, our master and media servers are running windows, which makes scripting a little more challenging. If not, if I install the media server bits on a linux box (without registering it on the netbackup domain) would this be enough to query the DB and produce reports? If so, perl or bash would do it. Thanks in advance... -- °((( = (( ===°°° ((( ================================================

Tests for the xymon-server
by Rolands＠logicaltech.com.au 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hi, I am a bit confused on how to add extra tests to the xymon-server itself. In server/etc/tasks,cfg I run the [xymonclient] If I would like to add some other tests like ZFS and prtdiag I would have though I add them as in any client in client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg But to get these tests work I have to add them in server/etc/tasks,cfg What am I missing? - Roland

Uptime in Central Mode
by sanderson＠CORNETSER.com 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hey fellow Xymoners, I am switching over all servers from local to central mode and somewhere I must have miss read how to test for uptime. The page looks like ::: Wed Oct 24 17:03:48 2012 NOT ok [yellow] Machine has been up more than 0 days 17 days 16 hours 28 minutes 33 seconds In analysis.cfg I have the monitor set to "UP 15m 365d yellow" Which in my understanding should denote that alarm yellow if system is less than 15 minutes after a reboot and alarm again if uptime is over 365 days. Is this not correct?

Flat cpu graph for hostgraphs.sh
by David.Mills＠ngc.com 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

All - Hi! Have a situation where several of my hosts are graphing "CPU utilization (multi)" under the "Metrics" report - running hostgraphs.sh with the "testname=la1" parameter - at 100%, constantly. Other CPU graph reports ("cpu", "sar") for the same hosts show a normal, reality-based CPU usage pattern. If I've understood correctly, the data for this graph is located under $XYMONRRDS/<hostname>. When I list out files in that directory, I don't see a file containing the name "la1". Is this the problem, or ... ? ls $XYMONRRDS/cwg605 total 2930 drwxr-xr-x 2 hobbit monitor 23 Oct 24 00:31 ./ drwxr-xr-x 1787 hobbit monitor 1.7K Oct 24 09:53 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 19K Oct 24 13:23 clock.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 38K Oct 24 13:23 disk,etc,svc,volatile.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 38K Oct 24 13:22 disk,export2.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 38K Oct 24 13:23 disk,root.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 38K Oct 24 13:27 disk,tmp.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 38K Oct 24 13:32 ifstat.aggr1.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 38K Oct 24 13:23 ifstat.aggr2.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 38K Oct 24 13:23 ifstat.igb0.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 38K Oct 24 13:23 ifstat.nxge3.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 19K Oct 24 13:23 la.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 75K Oct 24 13:23 mem2.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 19K Oct 24 13:23 memory.real.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 19K Oct 24 13:32 memory.swap.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 297K Oct 24 13:23 netstat.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 19K Oct 24 13:23 procs.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 75K Oct 24 13:23 sar.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 19K Oct 24 13:26 tcp.conn.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 19K Oct 24 13:23 tcp.ssh.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 19K Oct 24 13:32 tm.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 19K Oct 24 13:23 users.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit monitor 297K Oct 24 13:23 vmstat.rrd Thanks! david ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Mills Systems Administrator Northrop Grumman 512-595-1238 david.mills at ngc.com
