Hi All, Please advise if there is some sort of plugin/script that will send a message from the client when my backup application sends me an successful/unsuccessfule email after my backups and update the Xymon page. Im currently using Attix 5 as my backup application. Is this possible ? Thanks -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

flapping status color

Is it possible to make network tests report "yellow" when flapping occurs? This would solve a problem I've been having, seems some admins here don't think flapping is a problem. I disagree, but if I could make it flapping a "yellow" event I think I could make everybody happy. Thanks, Larry Barber

!http, and other http-related questions

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, Read the docs and it's not clear to me -- is there a way to specify that http should be down? Similarly, is there some kind of way to say that https should be available on one port, but another port should not be? Would I have to instead use the ports test (undesirable here -- load balanced host and nothing to run an agent on). Thanks for your help in advance. I run 4.2.x but info about 4.3.x if different would be helpful too. - -- - ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Sr. Systems Programmer |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novosirj at umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST-Academic Svcs. - ADMC 450, Newark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk25m+0ACgkQmb+gadEcsb5JOQCfeTVGEXjaHbN/1yw9l1/O76l0 El0An09VVLMIYq1smIyq1yzB4orJ+Sbj =3ioM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Is it possible to make a custom 'simple view' for non-technical users?
by docuprompt＠gmail.com 19 May '11

19 May '11

My first post- so, of course, it is a question... I'd like to make a simple version of the pages that xymon displays the icons in. A subset that only includes the core items such as cpu, memory, disk and services. What is the best way to do this without affecting the existing pages? It doesn't look like critical host pages will do this, and I want to use that to show critical hosts anyhow. I just loaded xymon and am very impressed. Have used OpenNMS in the past, and it does very well in comparison. It seems to me to be very practically (and nicely) crated :) Many thanks in advance!

Problem with MAXMSG_DATA, possible bug?
by betsy.schwartz＠gmail.com 19 May '11

19 May '11

I'm having trouble with a server not reporting procs, and I'm seeing this error in hobbitd.log: 2011-05-18 22:46:55 Oversize data/client msg from 10.100.32.150 truncated (n=877375, limit 524288) Now, I've played around with MAXMSG_DATA and MAXMSG_CLIENT, always restarting xymond, but I cannot get that limit above 524288. If I set very low values, I get a lower limit, but I can't seem to set higher values and get a *higher* limit. Right now I've got MAXLINE="1572864" MAXMSG_STATUS="4096" MAXMSG_DATA="4096" Am I missing some dependency? (this is xymon 4.3.2 on Oracle Linux) thanks Betsy

Elegant way to run an aggregate ext test over multiple clients?
by betsy.schwartz＠gmail.com 18 May '11

18 May '11

Suppose I have a five-server cluster, and on each server there's a calculated value, call it Q, and an ext test "qlength" that operates on Q and returns a color and a message containing Q. We want to make a server-side test that does some alerting based on aggregate values of Q across all five servers in the cluster. Not a combo test, we want to do math, like Sum (Q1...Qn) >Threshold. *One* way to get Q for each server is to write a server-side ext test that loops a wget over each host, something like: wget /dev/null http://xymon/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh\?HOST=myhost.example.com\&SERVICE=qleng… then parse each server's Q info out of the html and do my arithmetic, but is there a more direct way? thanks for any pointers clues or code snippets Betsy

Chris has updated his wonderful script that was written for hobbit ############################## # bb-hosts.cgi # Written by: Chris Naude # Purpose: Provides a basic web interface to edit bb-hosts. # Uses a lock file and md5sums to keep things sane. # Requirements: md5sum # File permissions should be setup so that the web user can write to $xymon_hosts_file # Hint: Use chmod, chown, setfacl, or sudo. ;) # Tested on Red Hat AS 3 with Apache2 # # Version 1.3 - Left justify textarea for IE # - Fixed menu # Version 1.2 - Now supports Xymon 4.3.2 and greater. # Version 1.1 - Added Xymon support. Enjoy! # ############################## go take a look and check out his script section from the menu to view the source https://cnaude.mdns.org/xymon2-cgi/bb-hosts.cgi Thanks Chris our enviroment uses this alot for multiple pages.
