Perl script to monitor EMC Celerra in Xymon
by betsy.schwartz＠gmail.com 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Here's my first crack at a script to test EMC storage in xymon. I plan to expand it to take a list of exceptions to customize disk full alerts for different volumes. I think it needs more error checking and a way to check xymon env variables and get them from the client dir if they aren't set. But so far it works. Comments very welcome. It's my first real perl script. http://www.well.com/~betsys/storage.1.pl

Custom graph interval
by ger.maguire＠arra.ie 11 Nov '11

Hi, I have a custom script that is working fine and graphing with no problems when I have the test launch interval set to 5m but if I change this to 10 or 15m then the graph stops updating, attached below is my graphs.cfg entry. Can someone assist me in the correct setting I need to look at for changing this correctly to update at 10 or 15 minute intervals ? Thanks.

Can xymon do an ISP speed test
by paul＠shadowsoft.com 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

I have a need to know if my bandwidth has degraded. I have 3 bonded t1's and if one goes out, I have no way to know (other than walk up and look at the lights on the providers router) until people start complaining. Is there any kind of plugin for xymon that periodically will do a speed test? Thanks Paul Jordan

XymonQV v0.2.0 with support for appfeed.sh
by Rense＠multiscan.nl 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

I'm using 4.3.5 and the app was working for me without the appfeed.sh files in my Xymon. At first I had problems with the app because I'm running Xymon from a sub directory (http://ip/xymon:82/) so it was searching for http://ip:82/xymon/xymon-cgi/ instead of http://ip:82/xymon-cgi/ but that was an easy fix in apache by using a redirect. Now I dropped the files in my Xymon after building them and the app starts giving the error circular connection from appfeed.sh and it can't update anymore. If I type the url http://ip:82/xymon-cgi/appfeed.sh it does show me the feed. Any thoughts? Regards, Rense Roskam -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: xymon-bounces at xymon.com [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] Namens Henrik Størner Verzonden: woensdag 9 november 2011 22:48 Aan: xymon at xymon.com Onderwerp: Re: [Xymon] XymonQV v0.2.0 with support for appfeed.sh > Does it require 4.3.5? I'm on 4.3.4. No, you can drop it onto any 4.3.x installation. Just copy the appfeed.cgi to ~xymon/server/bin/ and the appfeed*.sh to your cgi-bin directory.

http test question
by tlewick＠tradebotsystems.com 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Hi all. Is it possible to control the times an HTTP URL test is performed? I know I can add http://www.sample.com and use regexs to look for an occurrence of the word Fail, but we would only like it to check once or twice per day, say at 7:45 and then once more at 8:25. I know its easy to control the timing of when the alert is sent. But can I limit when the test is run? Short of creating an ext-script, not sure how I do that in xymon. Thanks, Taylor

Can Alerts Be Configured Based on Page-->Group?
by Ed.Stuart＠austinenergy.com 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Is there a way to configure alerts based on membership in a group on a page? There is a page qualifier, but we would like to apply specific rules for servers in particular groups on pages. If not, is there a way to apply rules to particular hosts on a page? **Please apply a generous amount of all the usual disclaimers here.**

Would like to create a custom non-green screen
by scerydog＠gmail.com 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

We are running xymon 4.2.3 on Solaris 10 within a data center of about 1000 servers. Would like to create a custom non-green screen that has only certain servers on it. I found a previous email about it, but it doesn't explain it fully. Wondering what steps I am missing! I have add this script to the cgi-bin directory, but not seeing any on the web page. #!/bin/sh # Pick only hosts on the "windows" page PAGE="windows" # Get red ones as priority 1 xymon 127.0.0.1 \ "xymondboard color=red fields=hostname,testname page=$PAGE" | \ awk '{ print $1 "||||1|||" }' > /tmp/crit_$$.cfg # Yellow ones get priority 2 xymon 127.0.0.1 \ "xymondboard color=yellow fields=hostname,testname page=$PAGE" | \ awk '{ print $1 "||||2|||" }' >> /tmp/crit_$$.cfg # Build the webpage . /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/cgioptions.cfg $XYMONHOME/bin/criticalview.cgi $CGI_CRITVIEW_OPTS \ --config=/tmp/crit_$$.cfg rm -f /tmp/crit_$$.cfg exit 0 Thanks -Scott
