BIND Graphing
by novosirj＠umdnj.edu 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I took a look through the mailing list archives and found an old thread about BIND graphing for performance purposes. As this is of interest to me, I would like to know if anyone has a script that could be used to add a performance graph to either the dns test, or the trends page (or both). It appears as if this is not handled internally at this time (or at least wasn't in 2006 when it was asked), but that there were people who had handled this problem another way. Thanks in advance for the shared scripts or advice. - -- - ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Sr. Systems Programmer |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novosirj at umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST-Academic Svcs. - ADMC 450, Newark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzdg2QACgkQmb+gadEcsb4OKQCgwI2cGXAXFnquBmaCbHhB4Hwm 4mcAoJF8JIL538lVB+TpusM6f7hBn7i6 =g3Tv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hi ! I also use the smsplus script for sms-alerting http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/alerts:smsplus but i notice that the alert-option "RECOVERED" didn't exist in the sms-message, so nobody knows if it's now a regular alert or a recovered mail .. :-( Have somebody a hint or what is wrong in my enviroment ? cat /usr/lib/hobbit/server/ext/smsplus.sh #!/bin/bash msg=`echo "${BBALPHAMSG}" | egrep "&yellow|&red"` msg="${msg}" # CODE: #======= subject="!HB ${ACKCODE}" alert="${BBHOSTSVC} ${BBCOLORLEVEL}" message="${alert}${msg}" /usr/sbin/sendmail -f flemming at mail.desy.de "$RCPT"<<EOT From: <martin.flemming at desy.de> To: ${RCPT} Subject: ${message} ${message} EOT Thanks & Cheers, Martin

Xymon : how is data flow in case of xymon
by akshar.bhosale＠gmail.com 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Hi, i have one doubt regarding data flow (communication) in case of xymon in the sense that server-client architecture of xymon follows push or pull of data ? In case of xymon as how data flows from server to clients or clients to server ? How the data of external ( extention/ custom scripts ) scripts is available with server. How xymon handles all tests data? does it (server) pulls all data from clients or clients sends their data to xymon? or there is two way data flow? Akshar

Aggregation of data from multiple machines in to a single graph
by Martin.Ward＠colt.net 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hi all, I've had a dig around but have not found a solution to this problem, is it even possible? I have a number of mail servers and I have tailored the Xymon client config on each server to return the number of emails in the deferred mail queue. What I would like is to have a single graph that displays all these values together (in the same way that it displays graph for all the different disks on a single server). I know that the graphs can be created as I run an external command to generate the graphs and display them in a web page outside of Xymon. It would be nice to be able to have a configuration item for a given Xymon page and data value such that it creates an RRD graph for every server on that page which has that data value in its RRD file. Any thoughts or suggestions as to how I might be able to show this? |\/| [Colt Disclaimer] The message is intended for the named addressee only and may not be disclosed to or used by anyone else, nor may it be copied in any way.

Red HTTP test with "DNS failure" after BIND install
by Munsch＠phillycarshare.org 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hello, As the subject. I found this tantalizing tidbit in the archives: > Argh, see here for workaround. > http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/known-issues.html#dnserror > So DNS server change failed the ares library. But sadly that link is dead. Given the mention of ares, I tried --no-ares in the hobbitserver.cfg and restarted, but that seems to have had no effect. The current Xymon sourceforge known issues doesn't seem to have this. Anyone remember what the solution was?

CLASS parameter in bb-hosts and hobbit-client.cfg
by heeb＠phys.ethz.ch 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi I am trying to use the CLASS parameter as described in bb-hosts(5) and hobbit-clients.cfg(5) without success. Specifically I have the following entries: in /etc/hobbit/bb-hosts: 192.33.96.71 dumbledore # ntp badntp:0:1:3 ssh CLASS:lucid in /etc/hobbit/hobbit-client.cfg: CLASS=lucid PROC gdm-binary 1 1 red The xymon/hobbit server is running Debian lenny 5.0.6 with the hobbit package version 4.2.0.dfsg-14lenny3 The client is running Ubuntu lucid 10.04 (hence the CLASS name) with the xymon-client package version 4.3.0~beta2.dfsg-5 On the info page for the client the entry "Other tags:" at the bottom clearly shows CLASS:lucid whereas on the proc page there is no mention of a gdb-binary process as I would expect. All I can find in the mailing lists are references to other people's problems with CLASS. Is there something I should configure differently or is there any version of xymon that supports the CLASS parameter? Regards, -- Elmar References: http://hobbit.phys.ethz.ch/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/bb-hosts.5.html http://hobbit.phys.ethz.ch/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/hobbit-clients.cfg.5.h… http://www.xymon.com/archive/2008/09/msg00095.html http://www.xymon.com/archive/2009/11/msg00261.html -- Dr. Elmar S.

Removing alert from "current non-green" view ?
by tseglard＠wat.tv 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hello, I'm supervising a lot of Virtual Machines (VMware ESX 4.1) with Xymon and of course everything is ok. But I noticed an annoying behaviour with this setup : I got many alerts from the NTP test (flip-flop). What is the best solution to prevent this behaviour ? Cheers, ThomaS

Getting Xymon alerts to the desktop
by s.seitz＠netz-haut.de 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi there, we've got wall monitors showing different xymon status pages, email and pim notification configured. But, often when it comes to failures, no one notices this instantly because of doing work and having the focus on it. For this reason, I decided to write a desktop notifier. A small icon at the system tray shows the current color of the configured xymon page, if the color changes, a balloon message pops up and virtually any command can be triggered. As this might be useful for someone else, I've published it at freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/xymon-alert Well, It's licensed under the GPLv2 and available for free, so hopefully this mail doesn't count as advertising.

Hi, SSL does work, If you install OpenSSL for Windows. An MSI Installer w/ included OpenSSL Libraries is planned. If BBTray works for you, why do you bother about Xymon Alert? I was not aware of that project.
