custom script fails when I add ssh command
by ohemming＠gmail.com 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

I have 6 servers in my hosts.cfg file that use a custom script with a HOSTTAG of cdr The script is located at $XYMONHOME/ext/check_cdr.sh If I make it as basic as possible, it all runs perfectly. For example: ================================ #!/bin/bash -x HOSTTAG=cdr COLUMN=$HOSTTAG $XYMONHOME/bin/xymongrep $HOSTTAG | while read L do set $L # To get one line of output from xymongrep HOSTIP="$1" MACHINEDOTS="$2" MACHINE=`echo $2 | $SED -e's/\./,/g'` COLOR=green MSG="running on ${MACHINE}" $XYMON $XYMSRV "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date` ${MSG} " done exit 0 ================================ I realise the test itself is useless, it's just to demonstrate the problem. Since I have the -x on the first line, I see it iterate through all 6 servers in the log file I specified in the tasks.cfg file This is part of the output, going from the first server to the second + /apps/xymon/server/bin/xymongrep cdr + read L + set 10.64.91.99 as1wdc1 '#' cdr + HOSTIP=10.64.91.99 + MACHINEDOTS=as1wdc1 ++ echo as1wdc1 ++ /usr/bin/sed '-es/\./,/g' + MACHINE=as1wdc1 + COLOR=green + MSG='running on as1wdc1' ++ date + /apps/xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 'status as1wdc1.cdr green Thu Dec 15 20:57:41 GMT 2011 running on as1wdc1 ' + read L + set 10.64.123.67 as2dal1 '#' cdr + HOSTIP=10.64.123.67 + MACHINEDOTS=as2dal1 But if I add the following line to the script, directly above the "$XYMON $XYSERVER... " one, I only see the first server get queried before the script exits and ultimately, my other 5 servers go purple. /usr/bin/ssh bwadmin@${MACHINE} "hostname" With the ssh line, my last bit of output in the log file is: + /usr/bin/ssh bwadmin at as1wdc1 hostname AS1WDC1 ++ date + /apps/xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 'status as1wdc1.cdr green Thu Dec 15 20 :52:37 GMT 2011 running on as1wdc1 ' + read L + exit 0 What is it about the ssh command that causes the "while read L" loop to fail? Thanks

Comments tag?

Did this regress? In 4.3.7 I can’t seem to get the COMMENT tag to show up anymore. Works fine on older version 4.3.0. Does anyone have these showing successfully? example entry: xx.xx.xx.xx server.xxx.sas.com # CLIENT:server ssh COMMENT:"APP #1" prefer Doesn’t show “APP #1” on the GUI like it used to. -- Tom

How to have XYMON show FULL logs of client server? also how to show different logs for different servers?
by tsztur＠gmail.com 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

So I am using this method on client-local.cfg to show the logs: [linux] log:/var/log/myapp/my.app.log:90240 ignore MARK However even if i increase the MAXDATA (90240) it still only shows the last hour or so of logging. - under 'msgs' . I would like to to show more than that. how is this possible? eg. /var/log/myapp/my.app.log has logging from midnight, but only shows from the last 20 minutes. I would like it to show at least 2 hours worth of logging. Also, I would like to have different logs show for different client systems. I have tried this method: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Other_Docs/FAQ#Ho… but I don't see anything with hohbbit-clients.cfg - Can I not use the HOST=<client hostname> in the client-local.cfg ? tia

Xymon does not display any information about windows client
by y.goudetsidis＠mail.cryst.bbk.ac.uk 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hello again When you say "xymon is not running", do you mean "xymon.sh" or "hobbitd", because xymon.sh is running but "hobbitd" is not. If I do: "ps -ef | grep hobbitd" l only get: "root 30114 5880 0 14:28 pts/1 00:00:00 grep hobbitd". I tried to start the service using: "service hobbitd start" but I get the "not recognised service" message. Xymon is installed on Centoos and firewall is disabled on the windows client. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi everyone I have setup xymon and I am trying to add a windows XP client. This client is already monitored by big brother(old version) and it has bbwin.exe version 0.12 installed. How can I make this particular windows XP client to be also monitored by xymon? I have added a second line in the BBWin.cfg inside C:\Program Files\BBWin\etc\BBWin.cfg <setting name="bbdisplay" value="IP_Address" /> but xymon does not display any information. Could someone please let me know if I am missing something?

zonestat.sh
by Dave.Munro＠rwe.com 15 Dec '11

Hi Folks, I'm running Xymon 4.3.3 on Solaris 10 and have now rolled it out on all the servers/LDOMs/zones that I have and all the basics are working well. For the past hour or so I have been trying to get zonestat working; On the Client I have put the zonestat.sh script in /opt/xymon/client/ext and have modified the clientlaunch.cfg with # Zone Monitoring Script. [zonestat] ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/zonestat.sh LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTLOGS/xymonclient.log INTERVAL 5m On the server side I have modified the /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg with [zonestat] ENVFILE /opt/xymon/client/etc/xymonclient.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD /opt/xymon/client/ext/zonestat.sh LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonclient.log INTERVAL 5m In the /opt/xymon/client/tmp I see the file being created with the prstat information in it. /opt/xymon/client/etc -bash-3.00$ cd ../tmp -bash-3.00$ ls -l total 576 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 1082 Dec 13 12:02 hobbit_zonestat.su01sa000.26814 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 71 Dec 13 12:02 logfetch.su01sa000.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 60 Dec 13 12:02 logfetch.su01sa000.status -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 29 Nov 28 20:37 logfetch.su12sl001.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 53 Nov 28 20:37 logfetch.su12sl001.status -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 172781 Dec 13 12:02 msg.su01sa000.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 35 Dec 13 12:02 xymon_iostatcpu.su01sa000.26819 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 36 Nov 28 20:37 xymon_iostatcpu.su12sl001.21068 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 36 Nov 28 20:37 xymon_iostatcpu.su12sl001.21124 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 14979 Dec 13 12:02 xymon_iostatdisk.su01sa000.26819 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 187 Nov 28 20:37 xymon_iostatdisk.su12sl001.21068 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 187 Nov 28 20:37 xymon_iostatdisk.su12sl001.21124 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 233 Dec 13 12:02 xymon_vmstat.su01sa000.26819 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 234 Nov 28 20:37 xymon_vmstat.su12sl001.21068 -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon xymon 234 Nov 28 20:37 xymon_vmstat.su12sl001.21124 -bash-3.00$ I see the hobbit_zonestat file there but have no graph data visible, what have I missed, ihave modified the /opt/xymon/server/etc/hosts.cfg file with 10.182.46.10 su01sa000 # ssh TRENDS:*,vmstat:vmstat3|vmstat6|vmstat7|vmstat8|vmstat0,zonestat:zonesta tcpu|zonestatmem|zonestatnproc|zonestatsize|zonersssize I know I've probably done some thing dumb - just not sure what!
