Is the Digest broken for all users on Digest? Has anyone tried unsubscribing and subscribing back up again to see if the Digest is still broken for a new subscription?

Client test problems on Xymon server 4.2.3
by novosirj＠umdnj.edu 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Good morning, Just ran into an odd problem on my Xymon server that I hope someone might help me diagnose. I run the server software on Solaris 9 and I allow the server program to run the client part out of hobbitlaunch.cfg. This has worked in the past. After patching and rebooting, however, suddenly the external tests never make it to the web interface and ultimately turn purple. The processes run, they write to the tmp directory of the client, but that's as far as it goes. All of the built-in tests work fine. Any idea what to look at? Thanks! - -- - ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |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/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxRoHgACgkQmb+gadEcsb4gzACg2xVhE07EpvJ/Vzh2s2w9bIue 4kAAnRpPhAdEWCsGZCfeflsJ1pV+Pcnz =36R/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

This a follow-up on my July 12 message ("Digest message setting"). I subscribe to the list in digest mode. In my opinion, the digests have been broken since the list was changed to xymon from hobbit on July 9. Digests are being sent out with usually only one message in the digest. Here are the subjects for the digest sent yesterday and thusfar today: xymon Digest 29 Jul 2010 16:03:47 -0000 Issue 2066? - xymon Digest 29 Jul 2010 16:03:47 -0000 Issue 2066 Topics (messages 29117 through 29117): Re xymon Digest 29 Jul 2010 15:59:52 -0000 Issue 2065?

xymon-client repo install broken also?
by hobbit＠epperson.homelinux.net 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

After hand-repairing a broken repo install of xymon on a new prototype xymon server, I just attempted a xymon-client install on a prototype client. That was broken, too. Am I doing something wrong, or is the rpm just hosed? This is a fully updated RHEL5 system. Like the server install, the xymon-client install blew up with a rename error and left the already unpacked files in place but with no trace of xymon in the rpm database. I guess I can clean up by pulling a file manifest from the rpm. Here's what happened: [root at utility named.data]# yum install xymon-client.x86_64 Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package xymon-client.x86_64 0:4.2.3-1.rhel5 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: xymon-client x86_64 4.2.3-1.rhel5 Xymon 358 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package(s) Upgrade 0 Package(s) Total download size: 358 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: xymon-client-4.2.3-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm | 358 kB 00:00 warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 60d204a7 Xymon/gpgkey | 3.6 kB 00:00 Importing GPG key 0x60D204A7 "Buchan Milne <bgmilne at staff.telkomsa.net>" from ht tp://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/bgmilne.asc Is this ok [y/N]: y Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Migrating from hobbit to xymon Copying init script settings Copying existing configuration from /etc/hobbit to /etc/xymon /bin/cp: cannot stat `/etc/hobbit': No such file or directory Replacing hobbit with xymon where relevant in config find: /etc/xymon: No such file or directory Moving data files from /var/lib/hobbit to /var/lib/xymon /bin/mv: cannot stat `/var/lib/hobbit': No such file or directory Moving log files from /var/log/hobbit to /var/log/xymon Migration complete Beware, any files reported below as .rpmsave should probably be restored before starting xymon! xymon user present Adding user xymon to group adm Installing : xymon-client 1/1 Error unpacking rpm package xymon-client-4.2.3-1.rhel5.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib64/xymon/client/etc: cpio: re name Failed: xymon-client.x86_64 0:4.2.3-1.rhel5 Complete!

Ignoring filesystems
by mailinglist0＠skurfer.com 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

I’ve added something like this to the DEFAULT section at the end of `hobbit-cleints.cfg`. DISK /mnt IGNORE But if I mount something on /mnt, it still shows up, alerts, etc. Does this have to be specified per-host/per-page/per-class or should it be possible to define such a thing under DEFAULT? Related question: How can I “drop” a single filesystem that I don’t want to see historical data for? Thanks. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> The magnitude of a problem does not affect its ownership.

TS: Xymon and another BB server
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Design question: Currently we have 2 separate networks. We are running BB on both of the networks. The display is on the local network. The separated network can send info to the local network so that the local BB server can display all of the information for us and alert us. There are about 40 servers we need the info from on the separated network. Is there a way to accept the data from the separated BB server into the local Xymon server? We will be replacing the BB server with the Xymon server on the local network. We do not want to punch a hole for each server if we don't have to for security reasons. Additional question: Can an Xymon server on the separated network report all of its info to the local Xymon server for display? Do you need an additional Xymon server on the separated network to just gather the info and forward it to the local Xymon server? All ideas are appreciated!

Fresh server install on RHEL5: source or yum repo?
by hobbit＠epperson.homelinux.net 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

I'm about to begin migrating a hobbit server on Centos5 to an RHEL5 server running xymon. Would like to hear any thoughts/advice on whether to do a source install or a yum repo install. I'm a package management advocate, so I lean toward the yum install, but package management depends on the actual packages in the repo being managed on an ongoing basis. I'd especially like to hear from Buchan M. and Neil F., since Buchan advised Neil about a year ago to do a yum installation.

RHEL5 and xymon client monitoring log files
by cathy.smith＠pnl.gov 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Folks With your help, the RHEL5 server is now showing up in the hobbit display correctly. This is the xymon client reporting to a hobbit server. Now I have a question about monitoring log files. I have included below, my localclient.cfg file. I want to check /var/log/messages for anything with the word ERROR. Hobbit displays a white smiley face in the msgs column with the message: The client did not report any logfile data I'm running all processes as root, so there shouldn't be any permissions issues. Can you tell me what I've done wrong in the config file? Thanks. Cathy --- Cathy L.
