TS - Why does ACK fail sometimes?
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

I am running xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on a Dell R-610 on CentOS 5.5. When I try to ACK say a Disk Drive, the message is: Then I get: The Icon never changes from the RED face to the RED check mark. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Is there a patch for this problem? I have never had to patch the system over the last year and a half. I have noticed this on-and-off for the last year - after a reboot, the device can be ACKed. That is why I REBOOT every week. Other than this problem, I have not had any problems with the code - hope support continues. I am monitoring over 1,000 devices, including mibs on Cisco devices for cpu, temperature, fans, power supplies, memory, and system description. Using Net-SNMP for the mib walks.

CSS within xymon

Hello all, The below message was pulled from the xymon mailing list. Does anyone know if the code changes mentioned below were ever made available anywhere? Cheers Phil ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Taylor, Robert <Robert.Taylor at hendrickauto.com> Date: 5 July 2010 21:32 Subject: [hobbit] RE: Input needed from all of you. To: "hobbit at hswn.dk" <hobbit at hswn.dk> Here is a screenshot of mine. I've re-written nearly all of the code to base everything on CSS, created new images and replaced the menu. I was next going to undertake replacing the tables with DIVs, but that was a little more daunting especially since I know nothing about C. As it is, it took me a TON of trial and error, but I'm reasonably happy with the output. I did this last summer.

Hi All As we are in a planning stage I need YOUR help. One of the things we have on our hit list is the web interface(might be for a later release). Here is how you can help. Send me the resolutions of the screen you most commonly use to view your Xymon pages. This information will help greatly with the development going further.

Can Hobbit detect when a RAID disk fails on a Windows box? If so, how does it show up? Thanks, Larry Barber

Hi, I didn't want to hijaak someone elses thread so creating a new one. If i understand the documentation correctly (regarding 'depends') 196.28.159.50 testswitch # 196.28.159.41 testcase1 # depends=(conn:testswitch/conn) Is the above syntax correct? When the testswitch is unplugged, testcase1 still goes red. What am i missing / what other information should i be proving? Cami

Clean and simple, Thanks Camelia -----Original Message----- From: Tim McCloskey [mailto:tm at freedom.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 2:29 PM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: [xymon] RE: setting up orasys alets If it's just the listener that can be done with a network test (don't even need that roacle stuff). Add this to your bb-hosts file: 10.10.10.100 hostname # oratns:1527 "DOWNTIME=*:*:2300:2330:Scheduled Downtime,0:*:0300:0310:Scheduled Downtime" Downtime is optional and syntax is from hobbit-4.2.0.

Thinking of updating my existing "Hobbit" install to latest "Xymon" 4.3.0... Any gotchas?
by spa＠syntec.co.uk 29 Oct '10

Hello, I hear a new Xymon beta of 4.3.0 is not far away so I'm thinking of updating my existing "Hobbit" install (running old "Hobbit Monitor 4.3.0-0.20080929" from subversion) to latest "Xymon" 4.3.0 from subversion... Any there any known gotchas relating to: 1. updating an existing install (done that before, but it's been a while) 2. the name change from Hobbit to Xymon 3. changes that have been made between these two releases 4. anything else And what gotchas are there likely to be, what do I need to look out for, test, etc.? Is it wise to backup my existing install first (I'm guessing 'yes'), and if so, which parts do I need to back up and which parts can I skip backing up (since I expect all the history is rather large and if I don't need to back that up, that would be nice). If there are likely to be a lot of update issues, are there any plans to document the update process, and/or produce an update script to help the process? I don't want to spend a long time updating my Hobbit install, but I'm also aware that filing bug reports (or feature requests on features that don't quite work as they should in my book, but are not really bugs either) on a 2 year old version is less than ideal! Cheers, SebA

Remove the "see" links at the end of mail alert
by meepmeep＠fantasya.org 29 Oct '10

Hi I use xymon to monitor multiple servers and services. A friend ask me if I could monitor some of her process on another server with my beautiful tools ;) The only problem is that I don't want to him to be able to see my xymon web page because it contains a lots of confidential information (list of process running, etc.). So, I want him to only get the notification through email (X is up, X is down, etc.). But, in each email, Xymon add a 'see' link at the bottom : > See > http://server-hosting-xymon-server/xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=Friend-Host… As I don't want him to know my secret url, is it possible to remove it from the email ? (I know it's not a real problem/bug, I could use a lot of different method, like using htaccess, installing his own xymon server, etc. but maybe something is already hidden on xymon option) Have a nice day. -- Nicolas G. / meepmeep [EuropNet.org Admin] * * "Procrastinators: Leaders of Tomorrow" * *
