httpstatus issues

Hi all I'm trying to work out why httpstatus is not working as I intend. 0.0.0.0 servera # bbd httpstatus; https://servera.example.com:443/xymon/;2..|3..|401; NOCOLUMNS:files,ports 0.0.0.0 serverb # httpstatus; https://serverb.example.com:443/xymon;2..|3..|401; NOCOLUMNS:files,ports 0.0.0.0 serverc # httpstatus; https://serverc.example.com:443/xymon;2..|3..|401; NOCOLUMNS:files,ports I get a red 401 error message for servera & serverb but serverc works in that it has a green status. servera is an old Xymon server that will soon be replaced by serverb. Serverc is another Xymon server in a different datacenter. Any ideas? Thanks

Alert script "BBCOLORLEVEL" is red when recovered
by kspringer＠innovateteam.com 27 Aug '20

I know this is old, but it's still an issue.? I have a script that uses $BBCOLORLEVEL that works great, except the RECOVERED messages come in as Red.? They don't say 'Recovered', they say 'Red'.? I'm not much of a coder, but is there perhaps some way to have my bash script figure out if the message is a 'recovered' message and print that as the BBCOLORLEVEL instead of printing Red? -- Kris Springer

Startscript xymon-client
by Christoph.Mueller＠dwd.de 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

Hi to all, I've the problem that I can't find a seperate start/stop script for the xymon-client on a xymon-server. If I understand right, when starting the server with xymonlaunch not only the server is started. The client is started too. Is there a solution to stop the xymon-server and start only the xymon-client again? Best regards Christoph Christoph M?ller DWD Offenbach

Feature request (SNMP)
by colin.coe＠gmail.com 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

Hi all (particularly the devs) I've set up a new Xymon server running on RHEL8 and found that devmon really doesn't work well at all, so I've been trying hard to get the Xymon native SNMP features working for me. Could there be a "snmpmibs.d" directory? This will be so users can add custom stanzas without having these clobbered if the file snmpmibs.cfg is updated by the Xymon devs? Thanks CC

Service Unavailable 503
by rodbass63＠gmail.com 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Hi, I typically use my xymon server to test if URLs are up and serving pages and external scripts. I do not have any xymon clients. There is one URL that I test by adding this to the hosts.cfg file, nothing out of ordinary xxx.64.8.xx New-xxxx #xxxx-api xxxxapitest https://xxx-xxxxx.xxxxx.org NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,clientlog,ports,procs,files,inode,conn This site, every now and then, will have issues and customers will get 'Service Unavailable' 503 error. What happens is that after 5 minutes, I will get the white circle but apache is still up and running. I never get alerted because of the white circle. Is xymon able to alert on 'Service Unavailable 503' page either in the hosts.cfg or another file on the xymon server? Thanks in advance. Rod

how to represent status of something not associated with a single host?
by rlhamil2＠gmail.com 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Let's say I have something, in this case DHCP server failover status, that although the parts of it run on two or more hosts, isn't strictly associated with either one (ideally if both DHCP servers are up, they'd both show the same failover status for each other). It could be some other distributed processing state that doesn't depend on any single system to still be available. Let's say even that I can write a server-side script for it. Where the heck should I show the information? Maybe make up a fake host for global state like that, suppress display of all the usual probes for it, and only show the ones I want?

Limitation on the number of lines to display on Xymon
by kern_doe＠yahoo.com 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Hello Xymon gurus, What is the limit? What parameter that control this? It looks like my Xymon limits to around 1800 lines, it actually does not send, it fails with this error: /usr/libexec/xymon-client/bb: Argument list too long I have `cat abc.out` in the command, to get around I have to use `head -1800 abc.out` Thank you in advance.

Sorry to be a pedant...
by bscott＠bunyatech.com.au 21 Aug '20

Hi all, I know this is very minor and wasting your time a little, but: The man page for hosts.cfg lists the tab character as being 8 (back space) rather than 9. My OCD or something has kicked in so here is a diff. Sorry (it does make me feel better though), Brian P.S. Not sure if the man page drives the html version of the other way around. I patched both but expect there is something creating one from the other in the release process.

grown tests not alerting every 5 minutes
by rodbass63＠gmail.com 20 Aug '20

20 Aug '20

Hi, I wrote a script test and it's not sending the emails every 5 minutes. It sends the first email as soon as I initiate the false positive and it will send the email when it recovers but nothing in between -- sometimes I leave the false positive for 20 minutes. I looked in the mail logs and I see the same thing: the email on the first false positive and the email on the recovery but nothing in between. The default conn test does send the email every 5 minutes as expected but. Here is what my alerts.cfg looks like for that host: HOST=New-xxxxx-Patient-Portal SERVICE=new-xxxx-patient-portal,http,sslcert,conn MAIL rod.xxxxx at xxxxxx.com COLOR=red RECOVERED MAIL rod.xxxxx at xxxxxxx.com COLOR=yellow RECOVERED MAIL nur.xxxxx at xxxxxxx.com COLOR=red RECOVERED MAIL john.xxxxx at xxxxxxx.com COLOR=red RECOVERED MAIL oleg.xxxxxx at xxxxxxx.com COLOR=red RECOVERED MAIL pm_xxxxx at xxxxxxx.com COLOR=yellow RECOVERED Here is the tasks.cfg [new-xxxxxx-patient-portal] ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg CMD /usr/lib/xymon/server/ext/States/nm/xxxxxx.pl LOGFILE /var/log/xymon/xxxxxxx.log INTERVAL 5m Here is the hosts.cfg part: xx.192.160.xx <hostname> # new-xxxxxx-patient-portal sslcert https://xxxxxxxx NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,clientlog,ports,procs,files,inode Any help will be appreciated.
