You need to ensure the headers are there, whereever they are: use something like rpm -ql rrdtool-whatever-it-is If no headers there is probably an rrd-devel package - I'm not using redhat so don't know exactly. Anyway the rpm -ql gives you the lib and .h locations. The file that does the rrd testing is ~/xymon-4.2.3/build/rrd.sh (as for pcre, ldap, etc) In that file you can just insert the directory above where the lib and include directories are, ie /usr for /usr/lib64 and /usr/include cheers. >>> On 4/7/2011 at 12:46 AM, in message <BANLkTin0sSCk6nKPZwLNOBQQfdzX1+Pakw at mail.gmail.com>, Jayanta Kundu <jayantak007 at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5. > I installed rrdtool-1.0.50 successfully with steps(#./configure, # > make, # make install). > Similarly i installed pcre-8.12 successfully with steps(#./configure, # > make, # make install). > > Finally once i try to install xymon-4.2.3 with first step $ ./configure > Following error showing: > > Checking for RRDtool ... > RRDtool include- or library-files not found.

Finally once i try to install xymon-4.2.3 with first step $ ./configure Following error showing: Checking for RRDtool ... RRDtool include- or library-files not found. These are REQUIRED for hobbitd RRDtool can be found at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/ If you have RRDtool installed, use the "--rrdinclude DIR" and "--rrdlib DIR" options to configure to specify where they are. [xymon at t1vl001 xymon-4.2.3]$ Now i open the file "configure.server", but i can't understand where i need to assign the above mention path. Also where can i find the "rrdinlude" and "rrdlib" path. Kindly help me out for the same. With Regards, Jayanta.

alert question - duration?
by betsy.schwartz＠gmail.com 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

We had an alert that was yellow for several hours, then turned red. It immediately paged *all* the way up the food chain. The rules seem to be correct, see tests below; "alert1" through "alert4" are SMS aliases. Does length of time an alert is yellow count towards the duration when it turns red? And if so, can I change this, and/or is there a better way? In this case, it was a disk filling up... disks can often stay yellow for several hours. Having a disk go from 94% full to 95% is something we want to alert the tech on duty about, but not wake everyone up for.

Xymon 4.3.1 released (security fixes)
by henrik＠hswn.dk 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, I have released Xymon version 4.3.1. It is available from Sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/ now. The main reason for a release now following the 4.3.0 release just a month ago is to fix a security issue that was reported to me two days ago. David Ferrest reported that the Xymon web interface was vulnerable to "cross-site scripting" attacks. After the initial report, I have gone through the web UI code and fixed several identical vulnerabilities leading to this release. For those unfamiliar with cross-site scripting, here is the Wikipedia description: "Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications that enables malicious attackers to inject client-side script into web pages viewed by other users. An exploited cross-site scripting vulnerability can be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same origin policy. Cross-site scripting carried out on websites were roughly 80% of all security vulnerabilities documented by Symantec as of 2007. Their impact may range from a petty nuisance to a significant security risk, depending on the sensitivity of the data handled by the vulnerable site, and the nature of any security mitigations implemented by the site's owner." (From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting ) Regards, Henrik
