As the subject says:If I try to include ~/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg I get 2 errors: ..xymonserver.cfg: line 303 reached EOF while searching for '"'. ..xymonserver.cfg: line 304: Syntax error: unexpected EOF (roughly translated back from german) and then a lot of "Cannot find value for variable XYMON* error messages. Any hints? Hermann-Josef Beckers

BBWIN Alerting on any Service that’s automatic and stopped
by wrichardson＠llbean.com 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

We have all of our Window services that need to be alerted on set to startup=automatic. So any SVC that is set to automatic should be started. Instead of listing every different SVC on every server is there a way to just look for all SVC's with startup=automatic and alert when status=stopped? Something like this: SVC %.* startup=automatic status=started "TEXT=service not started" Thanks Bill

Compling on a mybook world NAS
by lenz.simon＠googlemail.com 10 Jan '11

Hallo again, I'm trying to compile xymon for several days on my mybookWorld white line NAS I tried the stable version and the newest beta of xymon, but everytime the configuration script fails. As you can see(in the following paste), the normal configure script doesn't accept the command line parameters for the pcre and rrdtool folders, so i use the configure.server script directly. http://paste2.org/p/1179839 Compiling the stable version results, that he isn't able to find the zlib.sh, which is really not in the builds folder: http://paste2.org/p/1179843 Downloaded the archive several times, but there wasn't a zlib.sh in the builds folder. Is there a general fault in what i'm doing?:D greetings

test files is white
by doctor＠makelofine.org 09 Jan '11

09 Jan '11

Hi, I got 2 xymon servers. One is running version 4.2.3 (i'll call this server 'old') and the other running 4.3.0 beta3 (called 'new'). On the 'new' server, a client with same version is running and reports its status to both 'old' and 'new'. Everything runs fine but the files test status is ever white on 'new', even if the test report errors. On 'old' the status is OK and color changes when according results. What can make this behaviour ?

how to "escape" a column name
by joe.acquisto＠gmail.com 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Perhaps someone knows offhand, to save me a lot of hacking. Is it possible to "escape" a status message, so as to make a status column heading appear on two lines? such as ~/bin/bb my_host "status 'uname -n'.MyColumn\nName green `date` `cat mytest`" Or like that.

IIS 6.0: No status change to CONT requests
by hj.beckers＠kreis-steinfurt.de 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

xymon version is "xymon-4.3.0-0.20101114.beta3" on openSUSE 11.3 x64. I'm using the following CONT request to an IIS 6.0 server: "10.45.64.61 SSGIS01 # cont=Altlasten; http://SSGIS01.kreis-steinfurt.lokal/ArcGIS/services/Maps/Altlasten/MapServ… ;"www.esri.com" \ cont=Abgrabungen; http://SSGIS01.kreis-steinfurt.lokal/ArcGIS/services/Maps/Abgrabungen/MapSe… ;"www.esri.com" \ cont=Aufschuettungen; http://SSGIS01.kreis-steinfurt.lokal/ArcGIS/services/Maps/Aufschuettungen/M… ;"www.esri.com"" Following is the response, I got once when I had the 2 first CONTs defined. Adding the third made no difference. The difference between the xymon time and the server time should be okay as we are 1 hour off GMT. "Mon Jan 3 13:13:29 2011: OK ; Configuration Maps/Altlasten.MapServer is not started. green http://SSGIS01.kreis-steinfurt.lokal/ArcGIS/services/Maps/Abgrabungen/MapSe… - OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2011 12:14:35 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727 Cache-Control: private Content-Type: text/xml Content-Length: 270681 Seconds: 0.25 red http://SSGIS01.kreis-steinfurt.lokal/ArcGIS/services/Maps/Altlasten/MapServ… - Configuration Maps/Altlasten.MapServer is not started.

SSGIS01.http - color unchanged (purple") xymonnet.log has a warning at 15:07 "Runtime 678 longer than time limit (300)". Do these tests simply not run? Thanks hjb

Hi, On my xymon 4.2.3 server, there is no directory for a client running xymon 4.3.0 beta3. the host reports its data, and is shown on webpage, but no rrd data are stored, hence the graphs are not working

xymongen and xymonnet erratic
by losburn＠thepinnaclegroup.com 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Env: 4.3.0 beta3 on RHEL5 Over a 24 hour period, the xymonnet process spends about 1/3 of its time in purple status, and 2/3 in green. This proportion holds true over a 7 day period too. Xymongen is very similar, with ratios of about 1/4th in purple, 3/4ths in green. When xymongen goes purple, the main web page stops updating, causing people to lose faith in the veracity of the data being reported, leading them to ignore xymon entirely. What log file(s) will be helpful? Thanks!
