Xymon 4.3.10 released - bugfixes and inode checks
by henrik＠hswn.dk 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hi, looking for a fresh beginning of the week ? Or perhaps an easy job to get going after the summer holidays ? Then upgrading to Xymon version 4.3.10 is just the thing for You. It is of course the best Xymon version ever released, and is just what you need to keep your systems happy. Grab it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/files/Xymon/4.3.10/ The "killer feature" of this release is the addition (finally!) of inode-checking on all major platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OSX, Solaris, HP/UX and AIX. The build scripts have been vetted thoroughly, and Xymon 4.3.10 will build without any problems on Debian Linux, RHEL Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris. If you run into problems, have a look at the new, detailed instructions on building Xymon on various platforms, available at http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/install.html#commonsystems - it will tell you everything you need to know about what pre-requisites are required, and what special options you may need to configure. And to prove it, you can now download pre-built versions of Xymon for most platforms directly from Sourceforge. There is also a demo-installation VM image available, if you'd like to try it out first. (One note about the RPM-packages: They don't handle all issues automatically; you can use them, but some manual setup will probably be needed to fix SELinux issues and such. More advanced RPM-packages are available at http://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/ although 4.3.10 isn't there yet). Regards, Henrik

Issue with xymongen?
by Tom.Moore＠sas.com 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

I want to make sure I’m not crazy.. but when I run the following command, I indeed get a “csv” file at the requested location. However, it apparently then overwrites everything in my xymon homepage with availability reports (like if you generated a report from the menu and it stuck it under /rep). xymongen --reportopts=1348200000:1348258672:0:all --csv=/tmp/report.csv I ran it with the debug option and indeed it is writing out all the status files in the XYMONWWHOME directory. Am I missing something on using this command? Thanks, Tom -- Tom

Clariion monitoring
by everett.vernon＠gmail.com 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi all Has anybody done any work on monitoring an EMC Clariion system, that they are prepared to share? I have no idea what I need to monitor yet, and we have nothing in place at the moment, so anything is better than what I have now. All assistance appreciated.

Has anybody found a good way to monitor jboss servers? I have a bunch of jboss installations and need some way to monitor their performance. I checked Xymonton but couldn't find anything useful (the jmxstat project appears to be dead, at least the link leading to the download is dead). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Larry Barber

24/7 OnCall Tech Rotation Web App for XYMon
by sanderson＠CORNETSER.com 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Fellow Xymoners, I am interested in getting some information from the users of XYMon on who uses Digium SwitchVox or Asterisk as a PBX platform? The reason I ask is.. Some of you out there know me as Cubert, the developer of the BBWin GUI application freely available for the BBWin Client used on Windows systems to send data to the XYMon server. I am working on a new application that uses Switchvox as a notification medium for XYMon alarms and would like to see who else (how many) out there might use the same systems and would like to see a free application that will control your oncall tech rotations and notifications? We currently have our Alpha.01 about ready for wide spread testing and will be releasing it under GPLv3 and could uses a few testers. Who uses Switchvox or Asterisk and would find calls for alarms as good notifications for alerts. Cubert Www.squidworks.net
