I'm going to guess that the answer to my actual question - is there a way to ignore individual md failures - is "I don't know". To be clear: "I don't know" is acceptable, I read through source-code looking for a way, and I couldn't find one (and so-many bits are auto-loaded that it's super hard to be sure enough to say "no"). I was hoping someone on-list would actually know, but I get why that might not be the case. To the questions: ============================ /proc/mdstat =========================== Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md2 : active raid5 sda5[0] sdc5[2] sdb5[1] 11711382912 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU] md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1] sdc2[2] 2097088 blocks [6/3] [UUU___] md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1] sdc1[2] 2490176 blocks [6/3] [UUU___] unused devices: <none> ============================ /proc/mdstat =========================== I'm using the script here: http://www.it-eckert.com/blog/2015/agent-less-monitoring-with-xymon/ (xymon-rclient.sh). Specifically, the platform is Synology and yes, Synology runs two raid1 arrays over all of the slots (even though some are empty). I could fix this easily by adding hard drives into the empty slots, but I specifically bought this unit so that I could expand it later. That is, I both understand that this is properly showing broken but unmounted RAIDs and I know why those RAIDs are broken (and thus why the errors are nominal in my setup). I am still hoping that a failure state that is nominal would be something I'd be able to ignore (just as I can ignore specific libraries or individual filesystems). The other choice for me is to entirely remove the mdstat portion of Ekert's script. (Sadly, there is nothing else for Synology monitoring that I can get to work at all, and that simple script otherwise covers all of what I need). This means, I won't be notified (through Xymon) if one of my drives does fail, but it's better than getting used to ignoring a RED background. [Archive readers: It is okay to contact me directly with questions about my setup] Thank you, Gary Allen Vollink

Ignore RAID error?
by xymon＠vollink.com 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Hi all, I have a configuration which uses RAID meta-devices set up as raid1 over empty slots for GUI configuration and notification. As such, I have md0 and md1 showing up as fatal errors in Xymon. Again, this setup is standard for this installation. md2 + are all normal normal, valid (and actually hold mounted filesystems). I'd normally expect to be able to set up analysis.cfg to "something something IGNORE" for this machine. Like: HOST=vault.home.vollink.com RAID md0 IGNORE RAID md1 IGNORE Does such a thing exist (and I missed it/have the syntax wrong?) If not, /could/ such a thing exist? I'm starting to become used to just having a RED screen (and that is dangerous). If the answer to the above is all, 'no,' then what is the best way to ignore all RAID for that machine? Thank you much for any thoughts, Gary

History page does not match events and hist files
by rbaker＠paciolan.com 25 Apr '20

25 Apr '20

Hello, I'm a recent migrant from BB to Xymon and things have been fairly smooth. Recently, I've noticed that the history page no longer is showing entries correctly. Or really, at all for that matter. I'd copied history from BB over to Xymon in the correct directory and adjusted permissions as needed. Xymon seems to have no issue with reading and writing to the files. As an example, This is from the recent events on the main page >Sat Apr 25 13:14:22 2020 ca01appmgr21vm svcs red >From -> To This is from the server's histlog file. > cat Sat_Apr_25_13:14:22_2020 > green Sat Apr 25 13:14:19 PDT 2020 Services OK > > &green ManageEngine Applications Manager - Running > Status unchanged in 0.00 minutes > Message received from 172.31.100.21 > Client data ID 1586327155 This is from the server's hist file. > Sat Nov 30 13:50:51 2019 red 1575150651 904 > Sat Nov 30 14:05:55 2019 green 1575151555 2484740 > Sun Dec 29 08:18:15 2019 red 1577636295 11157 > Sun Dec 29 11:24:12 2019 green 1577647452 2343124 > Sat Jan 25 14:16:16 2020 red 1579990576 2578 > Sat Jan 25 14:59:14 2020 green 1579993154 37802 > Sun Jan 26 01:29:16 2020 red 1580030956 3004 > Sun Jan 26 02:19:20 2020 green 1580033960 100201 > Mon Jan 27 06:09:21 2020 red 1580134161 301 > Mon Jan 27 06:14:22 2020 green 1580134462 2875353 > Sat Feb 29 12:56:55 2020 red 1583009815 3279 > Sat Feb 29 13:51:34 2020 green 1583013094 2209312 > Thu Mar 26 04:33:26 2020 red 1585222406 301 > Thu Mar 26 04:38:27 2020 green 1585222707 205241 > Sat Mar 28 13:39:08 2020 red 1585427948 581 > Sat Mar 28 13:48:49 2020 green 1585428529 > Sat Apr 4 09:27:22 2020 1586017642 188529 > Mon Apr 6 13:49:31 2020 green 1586206171 1638085 > Sat Apr 25 12:50:56 2020 red 1587844256 1406 The server is running on CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core) and I'm currently using Xymon 4.3.30-1.el7.terabithia, although I'm open to trying a recompile from source directly if this may be a bug with that particular RPM release.

I've also posted on the sourceforge discussion board as well. https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/discussion/435278/thread/3479b2301a/?limit=… If there are any tips or permission issues that could be the underlying cause, please advise.

Hello, We are getting this error I inserted below. This http monitor in question is for the xymon http service itself for our xymon server. Where would xymon be picking up this configuration of http from. Everything seems to be running and functioning properly. Could you provide insight?

help with xymonpsclient
by chrisp＠lightstoneauto.co.za 24 Apr '20

24 Apr '20

Good day I have a windows server 2016 that I use winpsclient to collect the server matrix and send to xymon Problem is the server has 24 cpu's allocated and on xymon it reports only 12 cores if you open the cpu page for the monitored host Looks like this is the part in the xymonclient.ps1 script that collects the cpu count: WriteLog "XymonCollectInfo: CPU info (WMI)" $script:cpuinfo = @(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor) #$script:totalload = 0 $script:numcpus = $cpuinfo.Count $script:numcores = 0 $script:numvcpus = 0 foreach ($cpu in $cpuinfo) { #$script:totalload += $cpu.LoadPercentage $script:numcores += $cpu.NumberOfCores $script:numvcpus += $cpu.NumberOfLogicalProcessors } #$script:totalload /= $numcpus WriteLog "Found $($script:numcpus) CPUs, total of $($script:numcores) cores" How do I modify the script to count the correct number of processors?

makedeb.sh and xymon-client initscripts (and probably makerpm as well)
by Dennis.Ploeger＠kps.com 20 Apr '20

20 Apr '20

Hi there! I've set up a build pipeline to be able to build up-to-date Xymon packages for DEB- and RPM-based systems instantly. Everything is working fine so far, but the init scripts for the xymon-client aren't added to the DEB-packages (and probably also to the RPM-packages; only tried deb so far). It seems, that the deb package build is quite the mess, if I may say so ;-). It builds the server and client packages at the same time but the dh-scripts only recognize the server build (package name 'xymon') so dh_installinit -p'xymon-client' isn't working at all. Maybe the package maintainers can share their script environments to the main project? Thanks!

Ports graph not showing
by sjcarr＠gmail.com 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

Hi guys, Quick question... Do I need to do anything special to have ports graphed? In analysis.cfg I have the following config statement: HOST=host.example.com PROC nginx PROC php-fpm PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]80)$" state=LISTEN TEXT=nginx PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]443)$" state=LISTEN TEXT=nginxssl PORT "LOCAL=%[.:](80|443)" STATE=ESTABLISHED MIN=0 TEXT=http-sessions TRACK=http-sessions On the ports page for the host it shows the following at the top of the page, but no graph is being displayed at the bottom of the page. Tue Apr 7 14:30:32 UTC 2020 - Ports ok green nginx (found 2, req. 1 or more) green nginxssl (found 2, req. 1 or more) green http-sessions (found 11, req. none) If I look at the HTML for the page, I can see that there are references to the graph, but it's not being displayed. If I go into /var/lib/xymon/rrd/host.example.com I can't see any rrd files for ports? Any suggestions on what configuration to look at next? Thanks Steve

XYMon using incorrect certificate for SSL
by freesoftwareservers＠gmail.com 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

I have a server which has both NGinX and Apache2 serving multiple sites. I have "main" domain freesoftwareservers.com and a wildcard cert which is set "globally" with NGinX. Eg: In my freesoftwareservers.conf ##GLOBAL SSL ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/personal/fsws/fsws.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/personal/fsws/fsws.key; server { } But I have another domain using LetsEncrypt and its setup like so (note, all my apache sites are served via nginx redirect to apache): server { listen 443 ssl; server_name domain.tld; ssl on; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/ domain.tld /cert.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/ domain.tld /privkey.pem; } But xymon is only using my wildcard cert for both domains. Is there something setup incorrectly in my setup or a fix for XYMon I can use? Using latest w/ Ubuntu so 4.28. Thanks!

Setting up xymon webpage with apache
by Eric.Robert＠americansystems.com 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Hello, I am trying to install xymon on a Red Hat Entrerprise Linux 7 system and everything seemed to be going fine until integrating it with apache. I have tried to debug the issues and it looks like there the xymon.html file doesn't have sufficient permissions for apache to execute it, but when I try to change the permissions and restart xymon the permissions are automatically restored to the default. I was wondering if you could give me any assistance with this? I am not very familiar with apache, so I have only come to this conclusion from reading the error log, it could be something else that I am missing but I did as the instructions asked and appended the xymon-apache.conf file to the end of my httpd.conf file.
