iostat fix in 4.3.0
by rolands＠logicaltech.com.au 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hi, I just wonder if the iostat will be fixed in 4.3.0? I'm interested in the Solaris one. Many others also would like to see the linux iostat. It seems that the client correctly sends the data to the server but the server doesn't take care of it. iostatdisk.rrd is not created. There is a command I forgot that actually displays this data but I can't find the command again... Something like $ xymond_hostdata --hosts=sunws1 --tests=iostatdisk (doesn't work) I find this in /usr/local/xymon/data/hostdata/sunws1/1290476142 [iostatdisk] extended device statistics device,r/s,w/s,kr/s,kw/s,wait,actv,svc_t,%w,%b, sd2,a,0.6,3.0,70.4,84.7,0.0,0.0,7.8,0,1 sd2,c,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.6,0,0 sd2,i,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.4,0,0 sd2,q,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.2,0,0 sd2,r,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 nfs1,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 nfs2,26.1,3.1,27.9,73.2,0.0,0.1,4.3,0,4 extended device statistics device,r/s,w/s,kr/s,kw/s,wait,actv,svc_t,%w,%b, sd2,a,4.9,5.7,196.2,301.6,0.1,0.0,16.9,2,3 sd2,c,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 sd2,i,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 sd2,q,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 sd2,r,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 nfs1,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 nfs2,0.8,2.8,4.9,41.3,0.0,0.0,14.6,0,1 - Roland

alerting with combo question
by martin.flemming＠desy.de 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi ! I've got an difficult problem with an alerting-rule, which my customers expect .. .. unfortunately i'm afraid that it couldn't work, maybe someone on the list got an idea .. :-) I've got a lustere-quota-check which should run on 4 host for reliability reasons ... If everything is ok, the output looks on each host like Tue Nov 30 11:13:35 CET 2010 - LUSTRE Mount(s) on tcx060 OK filesystem summary: 78.2T 58.0T 16.3T 74% /scratch/hh/lustre/atlas filesystem summary: 19.9T 18.7T 233.8G 93% /scratch/zn/lustre/atlas If the quota will be reached, the output got additional informations of all user-directory and there size ... till this point all easy .. Now, my customers wants to get only one alert with the additional informations of all user-directory and there size and not four times for each host I've tested it with the bbcombotest.cfg like e.g. AtlasLustre.lustre-atlas = (tcx040.lustre\-atlas + tcx060.lustre\-atlas + tcx080.lustre\-atlas + tcx120.lustre\-atlas ) >= 4 This Alarm works of course, but i've got only this alert-message Red Mon Nov 29 14:37:07 2010 (tcx040.lustre\-atlas+tcx060.lustre\-atlas+tcx080.lustre\-atlas+tcx120.lustre\-atlas)>=4 = (1+1+1+1)>=4 = 0 &green tcx040.lustre-atlas &green tcx060.lustre-atlas &green tcx080.lustre-atlas &red tcx120.lustre-atlas Without the additional informations of all user-directory and there size, and thats logical of course .. but didn't solve my problem :-( Any hints are welcome ! Thanks & cheers Martin

Official Version

Firstly can I say it is great that Henrik is back and xymon seems to be moving forward again. Can I ask why the beta release is 4.3.0-beta3? What happened to the 4.4.0-1 version I downloaded in March and have been running with since then? What are the major differences/developments since then? I have been out of thhe loop as I tried unsubscribing my old email and subscribing with the new one unsuccessfully several times!!

Brief red alarms
by jkikpole＠cairodurham.org 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

We recently had a major change in our network's design. The entire topology had the change, including IP addresses of servers and the "routes" through switches between things. Ever since then, Xymon is reporting very brief (10-20 seconds) outages of one server or another every 30-60 minutes. I tried this suggestion: http://xymon.sourceforge.net/docs/known-issues.html#netfail No luck. A few minutes later, the server Xymon is running on allegedly failed the "conn" test for about 1 second. Any other ideas? If you want to see the symptoms, look at my Xymon instance at http://cns.cairodurham.org/hobbit/bb2.html. This will show the brief outages that I'm talking about. Thanks in advance, Jaime Kikpole -- Network Administrator Cairo-Durham Central School District http://cns.cairodurham.org

hobbitgraph.cgi: Attempting to reuse 'mysqlht'
by skliarie＠gmail.com 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi, Initially I filed my problem as a bug over here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3116811&group_id=128058&at… but now I am not sure it is a bug, so posting it here for more lively discussion: I created a custom mysql parameters check that shows graphs on one server, but not on the other. hobbitgraph.sh (hobbitgraph.cgi?) kept sending following error instead of the actual image: <html><head><title>Invalid request</title></head> <body>Attempting to reuse 'mysqlht'</body></html> If I request the same image for different server, same service - I get the image. If I copy the mysql.rrd file from the /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/atl-db01/mysql.rrd into the /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/pa04, then the image for pa04 shows graph for the atl-db01. Could be that dash in name of that particular server was affecting the hobbitgraph.cgi somehow? I can attach the hobbitgraph.d/mysql.cfg and hobbitserver.d/mysql.cfg if that would help. -- Arie

TRACKMAX feature in 4.3.0b3 - help/info wanted
by Stephen.Mullin＠usa.net 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

First, thanks for the new release! I ask for more detail and maybe procedural examples to the TRACKMAX feature. Built-in TRACKMAX is something I hope will solve the beating I've been taking. QUESTIONS: -"This only works for the NCV backend" .... does this mean only the addition client tests we add, not the CPU/Mem/vmstat built-ins ? -Do we have to loop through out RRD files and resize, it it advisable to do so? (I'm thinking I should) -Do we have to loop through our RRD files and mod settings to match/sync with TRACKMAX settings? The referenced link to a note and discussion don't work, but I did find some discussions, and sorry to say I wouldn't be able to figure out what to do from them. My goal is to have 60days of detailed data without too much granularity loss or smoothing. I got space and plenty of horsepower. Anything to get the suits off my back about the "bad data" (their words!). Thanks, -Steve ==============================================================
