sort hosts in group
by vadud3＠gmail.com 06 Oct '10

It would be nice if the hosts within the group can be displayed in alphanumerically sorted. bbgen has a option to sort the test names using `--sort-group-only-items'. Would be nice if there is a switch for hosts as well. So no matter how you entered the hosts in bb-hosts file, the display will always show them in sorted. -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Odd Avail numbers in Disk report
by Munsch＠phillycarshare.org 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hello, The Summary under disk keeps reporting a strange result. What’s especially odd is some days it’s correct, and some days it does something like this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted Summary(Total\Avail) C 12586924 8292776 4294148 65% /FIXED/C 12.03gb\4.97gb The erroneous Avail isn’t always the same number, either. And sometimes it’s correct. I’m worried this is more indicative of something wrong with the partition itself, rather than Xymon. Has anyone seen this before? The monitored system is a Windows Server 2003 box (with bbwin running), and the only similar thread I could find was from May, about Solaris. Unlike that one, this only seems to be affecting the one partition on the box: the D partition, which is on the same array, is reported correctly always, as is the E: drive, which is a different array. I’m confuzzled. ------------------------ Rob Munsch IT Administrator PhillyCarShare 215-495-1040 x131 www.phillycarshare.org Our Vision: A Philadelphia in which non-profit car sharing exceeds the convenience, flexibility, and affordability of car ownership.

Ignoring strings in event logs

Hi all I have the following in my hobbit-clients.cfg on the Xymon server --- CLASS=win32 LOAD 80 90 # Load threholds are in % PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]20000)$" TEXT=RemotelyAnywhere LOG %.* %error -.* COLOR=yellow LOG eventlog:Security %failure.* COLOR=yellow LOG eventlog:Application %warning.* COLOR=yellow IGNORE="%(Warning: IIS log failed to write entry|Many client computers have not reported back|Unsuccessful logon attempt from IP address .* Secure (SSL) Connection).*" LOG eventlog:System %error.* COLOR=yellow --- I'm finding that I'm still getting warnings coming up from the WSUS server regarding the clients that have not checked. Could someone advise what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks CC -- RHCE#805007969328369

sslcert test problem
by doctor＠makelofine.org 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hi guys ! I discovered a strange trouble on my xymon. I'm running server and clients version 4.2.3. My server is monitored by xymon and host several services with SSL. So, xymon do test the ssl certificates using integrate sslcert test. All is OK. The strange part is that another host, a simple client -let's call him "client", is SSL monitored too, but when I check the SSL certificates that are reported, they are the ones hosted on the xymon server. So, i have false positives when sslcert reports something wrong on the server, and I don't get monitoring for the SLL certificates on the client... The 2 hosts are linux debian, and all other tests are OK (i tried to stop services on client, and the alert is OK, i tried to stop services on server, and the alert is OK too) and independants from each other. They are not on the same subnet, there names aren't similar, and I didn't register aliases or anything like this. I tried to "bb drop client sslcert" and "bb drop server sslcert", but nothing changed, after getting new statuses, the sslcert on client just reports SSL certificates on server :/ Anyone has an idea ?

Multiple regex on PAGE line of hobbit-alerts.cfg?
by cade.robinson＠gmail.com 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Is it possible to use multiple regex on a PAGE= line of hobbit-alerts.cfg? EG bb-hosts page prodlinux Linux Servers ... subpage criticalprodlinux Critical Prod Linux Servers ... subpage noncriticalprodlinux Non-Critical Prod Linux Servers ... page prodwin Windows Servers ... subpage criticalprodwin Critical Prod Windows Servers ... subpage noncriticalprodwin Non-Critical Prod Windows Servers ... So what I have is my "prod" servers and then a subpage of critical ones that I want to get sms text pages on and then non-critical prod servers that I don't really need a page at 3am on. In my hobbit-alerts.cfg I want an email if any prodlinux or prodwin goes yellow and a page if the critical ones go red So in hobbit-alerts something like this: PAGE=%prodlinux/.*,%prodwin/.*,someotherpage ... COLOR=yellow ... PAGE=prodlinux/criticalprodlinux,prodwin/criticalprodwin,someotherpage ... COLOR=red ... The red part works but the yellow doesn't. Presumably because I am trying to do two regex in the PAGE line? Thanks Cade

subcolumns and display issue
by akshar.bhosale＠gmail.com 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hi, we have xymon4.2.2 and rhel 5.2 os. we have a server and 100 clients. We have 3 sub clusters and above bb-host file. Now our problem is that we have restriction on subcolumns argument to BBGENOPTS as this is common for all three subcluster pages..so if we want to add one extra test in one of the subcluster, we need to increase subcolumns aruments..e.g.all subclusters have 8 tests, so subcolumns=8, now if we want to configure one more test in subcluster2 only, how we should do that? because if we do subcolumns=9, all our display page will be disturbed as there are 8 tests for subcluster1 and 3 and 9 tests for subcluster2. So how to add or remove any service without disturbing the main display our hostfile is like: page rack001 Compute cluster title Compute Nodes subpage rack900 Row1-Rack6 conn group-only conn 172.29.1.49 node49.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.50 node50.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.51 node51.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.52 node52.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.53 node53.mgmt.acc.in # 172.29.1.54 node54.mgmt.acc.in # subpage rack901 cpu group-only cpu 0.0.0.0 node49.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node50.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node51.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node52.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node53.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node54.mgmt.acc.in # noconn subpage rack904 ssh group-only ssh 0.0.0.0 node49.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node50.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node51.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node52.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node53.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node54.mgmt.acc.in # noconn subpage rack904 ssh group-only ssh 0.0.0.0 node49.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node50.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node51.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node52.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node53.mgmt.acc.in # noconn 0.0.0.0 node54.mgmt.acc.in # noconn ....and so on ?

Wrong (or badly interpreted) http response time with hobbit 4.2.0
by Benoit.Schmid＠unige.ch 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hello, I have monitored machines that are reporting around 3.5 seconds for the HTTP response time during the whole day (curve flat). If I do wgets, from the Solaris machine where hobbit server is installed, I get response times that is lower than 100 ms. Our old BB server reports response times that are also lower than 100 ms. Would you know why my hobbit monitor report such high response times? Thanks in advance for your answer.
