FILES for different hosts
by schritte＠hebis.uni-frankfurt.de 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hi to all, seeming rather simple but I cannot find the solution. I'm monitoring some files with md5 checksum for changes. All those files had the same md5 on all servers: FILE /usr/bin/ps MTIME>600 MD5=facb1ea65094c87058df4f0ffdf7306a red Now a new server has a different installation so I added him in hobbit-clients.cfg above the first entry: FILE /usr/bin/ps MTIME>600 MD5=76b66713137851c1407fd9ea20785bc0 HOST=<new host> red FILE /usr/bin/ps MTIME>600 MD5=facb1ea65094c87058df4f0ffdf7306a red But for the check the old entry is used: File has MD5 hash 76b66713137851c1407fd9ea20785bc0 - should be facb1ea65094c87058df4f0ffdf7306a Could you give me a hint?

4.3.0 beta3 compile problem on solaris 10 sparc

Hi, Can't compile on Solaris 10 sparc with LDAP disabled. I disable LDAP test, SSL tests as I have no ldap server or SSL services.

I know Henrik is about to grill me shortly as soon as I send this email, but I'm having an issue with the 4.3.0 beta 3 upgrade, but here goes anyways So, in my status monitor, I still have my xymon server having a purple status for hobbitd_rrd when I already have a column for xymond_rrd. When I try to drop that service, I get the following. ./xymoncmd 127.0.0.1 "drop construct.geosoft.com hobbitd_rrd" 2010-11-16 14:33:29 Using default environment file /home/hobbit/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg 2010-11-16 14:33:29 execvp() failed: No such file or directory Help?

Managing who gets alerts - shifts and rotations
by betsy.schwartz＠gmail.com 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

We're in the process of migratng from Big Brother to xymon. I'm wondering what folks are doing about handling on-call paging shifts? We have a complex schedule of on-duty techs plus weekly rotations of oncall people for various teams. We've tried to incorporate the schedules into our rule sets and it is getting too complex to manage. What are people using to manage this? In my ideal world, all my rules would be "page tech; wait 30 minutes, page on-call" but we've got to get some sort of scheduling software or script to manage who is at the other end of the email. thanks Betsy

problems with solaris 10 (sparc) + lfs and make install
by soopal＠ice.go.cr 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Hi people: I have the task to make solaris 10 (sparc and x86) packages of the stable version of Xymon. This since not all our machines have the sfw to compile. So I started from scratch with a V210 Machine. My first problem was with the lfs support since by not clear reason always gave me failed. After dig sometime I found that test-lfs-std gave me a bad number but as far I checked the long and therefore off_t is a 32 bit number. So since test-lfs.c isn't clear for me I modified the lfs.sh and here post the modification: ------------begin --- lfs.sh Fri Nov 12 12:05:27 2010 +++ ../../xymon-4.2.3-org/build/lfs.sh Thu Aug 3 03:34:33 2006 @@ -1,7 +1,6 @@ echo "Checking for Large File Support ..." cd build - OS=`uname -s` OS=`uname -s` $MAKE -f Makefile.test-lfs clean OS=`uname -s` $MAKE -f Makefile.test-lfs 2>/dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then @@ -10,21 +9,10 @@ fi STDRES="`./test-lfs-std 4`" - case "$OS" in - "SunOS") - if test "$STDRES" != "4:1:32" -a "$STDRES" != "8:1:0"; then - echo "ERROR: LFS support check failed for standard file -support" - exit 1 - fi - ;; - *) - if test "$STDRES" != "4:1:0" -a "$STDRES" != "8:1:0"; then - echo "ERROR: LFS support check failed for standard file support" - exit 1 - fi - ;; - esac + if test "$STDRES" != "4:1:0" -a "$STDRES" != "8:1:0"; then + echo "ERROR: LFS support check failed for standard file support" + exit 1 + fi LFSRES="`./test-lfs-lfs 8`" if test "$LFSRES" != "8:1:0"; then ----end here After that all stuff got compiled fine. But my problem araises with make / gmake install; since it gave me: cd etcfiles; (echo "bb-hosts"; echo "hobbit-alerts.cfg"; echo "hobbit-clients.cfg"; echo "bbcombotest.cfg"; echo "client-local.cfg") | ../../build/setup-newfiles /trabajo/monitor/server/etc/ ld.so.1: setup-newfiles: fatal: libssl.so.1.0.0: open failed: No such file or directory Killed gmake[1]: *** [install-cfg] Error 137 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/trabajo/tmp/xymon-4.2.3/hobbitd' gmake: *** [install-hobbitd] Error 2 So far the libssl lib really exist and was detected by configure script. the ldd prints ldd build/setup-newfiles libssl.so.1.0.0 => (file not found) libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => (file not found) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 libsocket.so.1 => /lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1 libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2 libmd.so.1 => /lib/libmd.so.1 libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1 libaio.so.1 => /lib/libaio.so.1 libdoor.so.1 => /lib/libdoor.so.1 libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1 libgen.so.1 => /lib/libgen.so.1 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210/lib/libc_psr.so.1 /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210/lib/libmd_psr.so.1 I believe that modify compile proccess of setup-newfiles to detect the libbssl as currently works for the rest of the sfw could be the best way.
