Xymon server reporting to itself and another Xymon server
by shea4th＠comcast.net 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi All, I have two new Xymon servers A and B. All clients will send data to both servers excerpt from xymonclient.cfg: XYMSRV="0.0.0.0" # IP address of the Xymon server XYMSERVERS="serverA serverB" # IP of multiple Xymon servers. XYMSRV must be "0.0.0.0". No problem so far. I want serverA to be a client to itself and serverB and vice versa. Modifying the xymonclient.cfg file on the server sends the server (as a client), but also all the client data that reports to it. Xymond excerpt: Multi-source statuses clientA:conn reported by serverB and serverA clientB:conn reported by serverB and serverA clientC:conn reported by serverB and serverA ... Latest error messages: Flapping detected for clientA:conn - 5 changes in 620 seconds Flapping detected for clientB:conn - 5 changes in 620 seconds Flapping detected for clientB:conn - 5 changes in 620 seconds So obviously that's not the way to do it. Do I have to do anything with xymonproxy? I don't want to change all my clients. Thanks in advance Greg Shea EMC Corporation

Alternate view for Management
by hballinger＠heritage-healthcare.com 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Our support staff likes having our monitoring system setup & organized by logical category/type. However, management is more interested in a view that is organized by business impact. For example: IT Top Level View- Hosted Services Corporate Connectivity Corporate Servers Corporate Desktops Remote Laptops Facility Connectivity Facility Desktops Management Top Level View- Email (Subpage containing all dependent hosts/services) HRMS (same as above) Sales CRM i.e. a listing for each "service" provided - possibly even maintained below subpages for each business unit Management wants availability and impact by the specific service and business unit impacted (10,000 foot view showing all dependencies), while IT is interested in the detail of the cogs/gears that make it all work. Do I just create a second listing for all of the hosts on a separate page structure? Would this generate twice as many network tests for the hosts that are listed duplicate times? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Henrik, I just ran into this same problem last week regarding Solaris clients and extra ifstat interfaces from the kstat output from the xymonclient-sunos.sh script http://www.xymon.com/archive/2009/06/msg00204.html I was thinking it would be good to add the fix referenced for 4.3 :-) Thanks, -- Brian Majeska

Anyone else having problems getting a the Metrics Report to display a graph with multiple hosts on it? I get a broken link for the graph for CPU, RAM, Ping, etc... It works for singles hosts, just not when multiple hosts are selected. - Brian Majeska

Problem with DISK IGNORE
by geoff.hallford＠gmail.com 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi All, Hoping someone can help with this issue. I am attempting to use the DISK drive IGNORE statement in the /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg file but I cannot get it to work. I have read the man pages and the previous posts in the list but none of them work. Here are the entries I have and the ones I have tried (note that the LOG entries work perfectly!): HOST=hostname.fake.com DISK /mnt/citrix IGNORE LOG /var/log/mrtg.log %ERROR:.* COLOR=red LOG /var/log/hobbit/citrixlicensing.log %mount:.* COLOR=red LOG /var/log/hobbit/kms.log %mount:.* COLOR=red LOG /var/log/hobbit/iorepl.log %mount:.* COLOR=red DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults. UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK * 90 95 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97 I have a couple of mounts under /mnt and I want to exclude them all but even stating just one exact mount doesn't work. Here are the many I have tried (each time restarting the hobbit server daemon and the hobbitclient daemon): DISK /mnt/citrix IGNORE DISK %^/mnt/citrix IGNORE DISK %^/mnt/citrix$ IGNORE DISK %^\/mnt\/citrix IGNORE DISK %^\/mnt\/citrix$ IGNORE DISK %^/mnt.*/ IGNORE DISK %^/mnt/.* IGNORE DISK %^/mnt.* IGNORE DISK %^\/mnt.* IGNORE DISK %^/mnt IGNORE DISK %^/mnt$ IGNORE Here are the mount points I have that I want to ignore: //server1/c$ 20481580 18329680 2151900 90% /mnt/citrix //server2/c$ 20481584 13885498 6596086 68% /mnt/citrixload //server3/c$ 31455236 10308200 21147036 33% /mnt/kms //server4/d$ 68918816 4486576 64432240 7% /mnt/faxcom Thanks!
