Hi all, I am trying to get Apache RRD graphing work i xymon 4.3.0, but it looks like apache.rrd is not updated with data. I have verified that example.com/server-status?auto returns info, but according to "rrddump dump apache.rrd", only values I can see are NaN. According/var/log/xymon/rrd-data.log (xymond_rrd with --debug option), 8225 2011-04-15 13:27:37 Want msg 103, startpos 154010, fillpos 154010, endpos -1, usedbytes=0, bufleft=374373 8225 2011-04-15 13:27:39 xymond_rrd: Got message 103 @@data#103/XX|1302866859.680847|127.0.0.1||XX|apache|linux| 8225 2011-04-15 13:27:39 startpos 154457, fillpos 154457, endpos -1 .. 8225 2011-04-15 13:31:05 Flushing cache '/XX/apache.rrd' 8225 2011-04-15 13:31:05 Flushing '/XX/apache.rrd' with 2 updates pending, template 'TA:TKB:BW:IW:CPU:REQPERSEC' Any ideas how to debug this further?

Xymon Graphing Assistance
by lanstl＠yahoo.com 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

I wanted to see if anyone could assist me with a problem I am having on graphing in Xymon. I am compiling system disk iostat data on many disk to display on graphs. I know a limitation exists on the # of lines that can exist on a graph. Can you assist me on what needs to be changed in order to list more on a graph? Xymon Version 4.2.3

sar, iostat and subgraphs

Hi all.. I'm probably reinventing the wheel, but i've been looking too long and think i might be missing something. Running xymon4.3.2 server on linux and the client is hobbit 4.2.0 on HPUX 11.11 I need to get some kind of sar -d or iostat graph going, which I've done halfway sucessfully. I don't know whether there already is a scrupt that does this, but the only mention I find is bb-sar which i battled witha bit and then decided to write my own one. I run sar -d for 5 minutes, take the averages, and parse them to the hobbit server like this: c31t6d0 : 98 c34t6d0 : 10 c14t2d5 : 0 c14t2d4 : 0 c14t5d1 : 0 c14t0d0 : 77 c14t0d1 : 63 c14t6d7 : 54 c14t7d0 : 25 c14t7d1 : 98 c14t7d2 : 49 c14t1d2 : 40 c14t5d0 : 0 This is just the "percent busy" on the disk. Currently i'm getting all 13 values in one graph, which is a mess. http://i.imgur.com/ZedTt.png All 13 values are in one RRD file. How do I split them up like the page for disk, where each graph has 4 trends? Also I see mention of iostat here and there, but only in sun-os and irix TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature, apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,files,procs=processes,ports,clock,lines, ops,stats,cifs,JVM,JMS,HitCache,Session,JDBCConn,ExecQueue,JTA,TblSpace,RollBack,MemReq,InvObj,snapmirr,snaplist,snapshot, if_load=devmon,temp=devmon,paging,mdc,mdchitpct,cics,dsa,getvis,maxuser,nparts,xymongen,xymonnet,xymonproxy,xymond,sar=ncv" GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,files,processes,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,ncv,netstat,ifstat,mrtg::1,ports,temperature,ntpstat, apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,clock,lines,ops,stats,cifs,JVM,JMS,HitCache,Session, JDBCConn,ExecQueue,JTA,TblSpace,RollBack,MemReq,InvObj,snapmirr,snaplist,snapshot,devmon::1,if_load::1,temp,paging,mdc, mdchitpct,cics,dsa,getvis,maxuser,nparts,xymongen,xymonnet,xymonproxy,xymond,sar::1" Thanks Stef

noping in bbhost still tries to resolve hostname.
by Alan.FORD＠stanwell.com 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hi all, I am running xymon 4.2.3 and I have found that when I have an entry like this in bb-hosts 0.0.0.0 Blah # prefer noping http://www.stanwell.com it will still try and resolve the hostname Blah This is causing my /var/log/messages file to get heaps of these Apr 15 12:56:18 ictmon02 named[26180]: network unreachable resolving 'West10/A/IN': 2001:500:1::803f:235#53 Apr 15 12:56:18 ictmon02 named[26180]: network unreachable resolving 'Blah/A/IN': 2001:503:ba3e::2:30#53 Apr 15 12:56:18 ictmon02 named[26180]: network unreachable resolving 'West08/A/IN': 2001:500:1::803f:235#53 Apr 15 12:56:18 ictmon02 named[26180]: network unreachable resolving 'East06b/A/IN': 2001:500:1::803f:235#53 Apr 15 12:56:18 ictmon02 named[26180]: network unreachable resolving 'Blah/A/IN': 2001:500:1::803f:235#53 The xymon server is ictmon02, it is also a dns caching server which I have just enabled, hence I spotted the above message for the first time. Obviously the primary dns server was getting this error but probably ignoring it. Is there a way to stop trying to resolve a hostname for a specific host/s??

sslcert question
by Phil.Crooker＠orix.com.au 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hi all, I've been playing with the ssl networking tests and have an issue with a host. I've setup SSL3/TLS1 on this particular server and explicitly specified 256 and 168 bit ciphers. On the sslcert page for that host it lists the following ciphers even though anything less than 168 bits is disabled. I confirmed separately using a browser that you can't connect with the smaller cipher sizes and can with larger ones. We have another site using IBM's version of apache (IHS) which does appear with the correct available ciphers in the sslcert page. Any idea why are the smaller ciphers showing as being enabled?

Redirecting Xymon output
by Wes.Gorham＠corp.eastlink.ca 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hoping to get some assistance. We have 2 Xymon servers running but we would like to see all the output from server 1 integrated into server 2. Normally we would just enter the hosts from server 1 to server2's hosts-BB file but the latency between the 2 xymon servers is bad enough that we would like to continue running server1 onsite and just have the output redirected into server2's Xymon web interface. We have tried the "sending summaries to remote Xymon servers" option which works but only places the output summary in links to separate pages, not integrated into the main hobbit displays. Is there any way to do this? -Thanks
