Hi all, There's definitely a problem and I think it's in client_config.c but not sure how to fix it. Xymon 4.3.4 server, using BBWin 0.12 in central mode to monitor Windows services, I have in analysis.cfg: HOST=%.*-ni[1-3] SVC NetWitness_Informer_Service startup=automatic status=started color=yellow On the webpage I get: Fri Sep 02 13:24:54 2011 - Services OK NetWitness_Informer_Service is stopped/automatic - want started/automatic Name StartupType Status DisplayName NetWitness_Informer_Service automatic started NetWitness Informer Service The problem is stopped/automatic, should be started/automatic and I think it's in the case C_SVC: block around line 3419 in client_config.c Anyone know how to fix it? There's too many '->', I feel like I should be out hunting :) Thanks Greg Shea EMC Corporation

TS - Problem ignoring 'mem' from Quest Windows Client 4.00
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Team, I am at a loss. I am running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on a Dell R-610 running CentOS 5.x. I have a pair of them. We have multiple virtual Exchange servers on Win2003 server. All are reporting 'mem' problems up to 104%. We currently use the Quest BB 4.00 Windows client as I converted the main server from BB to Xymon over 2 years ago. This was the best plan for the conversion as our Windows admins already were acquainted with the GUI setup. Since we pay for maintenance from Quest on the client, I opened a case with them but cannot tell them that the server is Xymon. Currently we want to stop the client from monitoring the 'mem'. The GUI says to set the value above 100% for the alerts. The GUI will not let you set the values above 100 and 100 for yellow and red respectively. P.S. This does work for disk drives though. Quest says to add this parameter to the bb-host file of 'nomem' - this does not seem to do anything. The also want to change the bbwarnrules to: *;;*;*;mail at mail.com Not sure what this is accomplishing? I still need alerting for all the other items from the current client. Disabling the test, is not the answer as it bounces up and down all day long. I also tried to add an entry for each host in the /home/xymon/client/etc/localclient.cfg and to hobbitclient.cfg at the bottom of the file: HOST=slxcg01.csw.l-3com.com MEMPHYS 110 120 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97 HOST=slxcg02.csw.l-3com.com MEMPHYS 110 120 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97 HOST=slxcg03.csw.l-3com.com MEMPHYS 110 120 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97 Still seeing RED for 'mem' Icon J Thanks, Tom Schmitt Senior IT Staff - R&D L-3 Communication Systems West 640 North 2200 West P.O.

Fwd: [hobbit] zonestat : where are graphs ?

https failure in 4.3.4, not in 4.2.3
by Paul.Root＠CenturyLink.com 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

I upgraded my last xymon server from 4.2.3 to 4.3.4 this morning. It went well, except for one little thing. https tests. I found that my proxy machines just ran http tests, but my main server runs https tests. An oversight I'm now correcting. How I found this is that my tests are now failing: red Wed Aug 31 09:21:47 2011: red https://iadnasp1.mns.qintra.com/ - Seconds: 0.06 If I run a curl on the site, I get: $ curl https://iadnasp1 curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option. If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option. Using the --insecure works correctly. So, we have an internal CA. So I'm guessing I need to install the CA's certificate of authority to clear this issue up? Where do I do that? Paul.

29 Aug '11

I don't know if anyone needs these, but here are a couple of things I added to my protocols.cfg file over time. Is there a repository for things like this? It seems like the perfect thing for a wiki. # Retrospect 6.x daemon test [retrospect] options telnet port 497 # FileWave Server [fwserver] options telnet port 20016 # FileWave Booster [fwbooster] options telnet port 20013 Jaime -- Network Administrator Cairo-Durham Central School District http://cns.cairodurham.org
