bb-rep.sh & bb-snapshot.sh
by R.Biesbroek＠icts.utwente.nl 27 Jan '11

After debugging together with some colleagues, I found a solution for this problem. In the source code of report.c and snapshot.c (in the map ./web) there is a declaration in the main function: "char htmldelim[20];". In the same main function we can find: " sprintf(htmldelim, "xymonrep-%u-%u", (int)getpid(), (unsigned int)getcurrenttime(NULL));" Because the size of "char htmldelim[20];" is not sufficient enough (requires around 25 or so) this process will crash. I changed this char value into 100 and after a "make && make install" command the issue seems to be resolved!

All graph titles missing
by rrdansmith＠gmail.com 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

I just did a fresh install of 4.3.0-RC1 last night and copied over just my custom graph definitions from hobbitgraphs.cfg. The graph data itself looks great, and I am getting all of my original graphs. The problem is that I don't see anything in the title areas around the graphs. Has anybody seen anything like that? I am sure it's something I did in the upgrade, but I can't find anything like it in the docs. -dan

Hi, We would like to have no recovery message when status go from yellow to clear. OKCOLORS="green,blue" was set in xymonserver,cfg (using 4.3.0.beta3), but this does not work. Are we missing something? Dominique

I wonder if it would be possible on the All Non Green View to have instead of gifs how long the service has been in that state with the relevant colour. Thanks.

icon animation
by mmoldvan＠csc.com 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

If you right click on the image and select "Open image in new tab" you'll get the full name of the GIF your web browser is pointing to. Generally the gifs are in "/usr/lib64/xymon/server/www/gifs", but may be different in your Apache config. When you open the image in a new tab, does it flash (i.e. green-recent.gif for a flashing green)? If not, you can replace the file called green-recent.gif in the path above to change the image that is loaded by default. Hope that helps, Matt.

Network Bandwidth monitoring
by mike＠terrapintesting.com 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

I plan to incorporate my MRTG system into Xymon. I would like to know if I can have a "Red" alert appear when my bandwidth utilization of a particular interface exceeds a certain amount over the 5min interval? Is this possible? If so, can you point me in the right direction so I can research how to set it up? I have a DSL circuit I need to alert when it reaches the 500Kb upload rate. Thanks, Mike

Hi, It's not a big deal, but since a wild, the icon animation still static. For example, the red icon after 24h is just a big "x", no flashing. Anyway to put it back? David Raymond
