Hi Guys, Just wanna find out how I can get Xymon to send SMS. Which tool I should run? Which GSM modem(if that's the correct device) I should use?

Specify DNS timeout ?
by kconnell＠ryerson.ca 11 Oct '11

Can I increase the timeout for a DNS test for just one particular server ? We currently monitor 3 in-house and a 4th sits off-campus which timeouts sometimes...which I'm too worried about...

old hosts.cfg tag "login"
by rolands＠logicaltech.com.au 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hi, I got this old tag "login" on all my servers. It has been there forever and upgrading from bb to xymon and a couple of xymon versions later I can't find the source. What is this login and can I remove it? Can't find any references to why it is there or it's purpose. Must be some inheritance from bb I guess. As it is production I don't dare to remove it either. Anyone that knows what it is? ie. 192.168.0.1 myhost # login Cheers, - Roland

xymon client resource usage
by tjyang2001＠gmail.com 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hi, All This is a question we got asked a lot when trying to deploy a xymon/hobbit client onto a production system. How much system resource(cpu/memory) will xymon/hobbit client consumes ? Any one has a script or C program on doing this measurement ? Procedure: 1. Deploy xymon client 2. Run this program for 3 days. 3. Here is the report of xymon cpu/memory usage for past 3 days. I am interested to tackle this task but hopefully some one already did this work and willing to share. Regards tj -- T.J. Yang

How to setup SMS service?

I used to use QPAGE as well, but ATT Wireless took away that function. They like to charge for BOTH sending AND receiving text messages, so I have a pair of serial port GSM modems to send text messages.

It is easy-cheesy if your providers will give you their “TAP” phone number. I’ve never had a problem with getting that info…just a few phone calls.

Visiting Florida (USA) in March, any Xymon users who want to meet up ?
by henrik＠hswn.dk 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi, some Xymon users occasionally ask me if some kind of get-together could be arranged so they can meet me IRL - and perhaps also meet with some other Xymon users. I will be in Florida next year in the beginning on March - most of the time in Orlando, but I may also go to Miami for a few days. So if anyone is interested, perhaps we could arrange some sort of informal meeting one evening ? Regards, Henrik

How to tell if Xymon OpenSSL is enabled?
by tsztur＠gmail.com 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

still no luck. Does anyone have the proper attribues for on Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 SSLINCDIR = -I/usr/bin SSLLIBS = -L/usr/include/openssl/ -lssl -lcrypto RPATHVAL += /usr/include/openssl/ The above doesn't seem to do the trick. I even tried ./configure.server --sslinclude /usr/include/openssl --ssllib /usr/lib/ both times configured , make and make install on a new xymon folder, nothing. GCC just shows: SSLFLAGS="-DHAVE_OPENSSL=1" SSLINCDIR="-I/usr/include/openssl " SSLLIBS="-L/usr/lib/ -lssl -lcrypto" LDAPFLAGS="" LDAPINCDIR="" LDAPLIBS="" DOSNMP="no" NETLIBS="" XYMONHOME="/home/xymon/server" ARESVER="1.7.3" RUNTIMEDEFS="" PCREINCDIR="-I/usr/include" PCRELIBS="-L/usr/lib64 -lpcre" LIBRTDEF="-lrt" make -C xymonnet all make[1]: Entering directory `/home/xymon-4.3.5/xymonnet' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. as if everything is fine. still no SSL support. tia On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 2:02 PM, Root, Paul <Paul.Root at centurylink.com>wrote: > Remove xymonnet and do a make again. **** > > ** ** > > See what the output looks like.**** > > Are these config lines in the gcc lines?**** > > ** ** > > You might try re-doing ./configure**** > > ** ** > > I compiled on CentOS, and had the similar problem of not having the > development (include files) package installed the first time.

Re-add a dropped test
by wesley.knox＠siemens.com 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

So I removed a test from bb host and the columns would not disappear. At this point I did the bb drop command and they went away. Now I want to add them back and when I add them back into the bb host file they won't appear. Is there a cmd to Un-drop a test or a file I can edit which lists drop tests?
