Can't get DOWNTIME= to work
by novosirj＠umdnj.edu 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm using Xymon 4.2.3. Unfortunately, the examples in the documentation don't actually cover the most complicated case, where you define columns, have more than one time period, and define a reason for the downtime. Here's what I have: "DOWNTIME=http:*:0530:0535:BANRECT Scheduled Instance Restart,*:2030:2035:WFWSAPP Scheduled Instance Restart" Looks good to me, according to these rules: DOWNTIME=[columns:]day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:cause] Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I get this error in the "hobbitd" test on my display machine: Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'WFWSAPP Scheduled I' Any help would be most appreciated. Looks like there might be a mistake in the manual (or is there a typo there that I don't see?). - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novosirj at umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuoSAgACgkQmb+gadEcsb5zoQCghXsWBEPQJI4Yq/sbry0m1YIS W3IAoMwBQkW4IoKVuArmRmirapWBsyql =Xo07 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hello, I'm wanting to monitor zpool disks. I'm pushing for each zpool: - the size of the zpool. - the used size of each zfs into it. So I'd like to get a graph per zpool showing this. Can I have more than one graph per test. How can I do to graph this plot ? Currently my data are grouped by zpool in one rrd. Regards cED

a proxy for hobbitd
by vadud3＠gmail.com 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Anyone using a proxy infront of hobbitd ? My hobbitd in non-global zone in solaris 10 seems to have too many TIME_WAIT (hobbit)@hobbit-server:~$ netstat -an | grep 1984 | grep TIME_WAIT | wc -l 333 Should I run bbproxy on port 1984 and hobbitd on a different port ? Will that improve? There are also other options like pound, apache mod_proxy, nginx and others. Any suggestion ? -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

xymon-4.3.0-beta2 unlimfgets error
by sholmes42＠mac.com 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

I'm testing xymon-4.3.0-beta2 on Solaris and I'm seeing the error in the bbtest page for the server: umlimfgets() called with bad input FD [Note: I did not typo the function name - that is the literal spelling in the error message.] Aside from the fact that the name of the function is misspelled in the error message (which should be fixed), what do I need to do to fix the actual cause of the error?

I have tons of files like histlogs/host/files/Tue_Jan_26_05:22:32_2010 with contents just this clear Files status at Mon Jan 25 23:22:30 2010 No files checked Status unchanged in 0.00 minutes Message received from 10.240.93.27 Client data ID 1264483352 They are created every 5 mins like Tue_Jan_26_05:17:32_2010, Tue_Jan_26_05:22:32_2010, .. so for 380 hosts I have 12 of those files every hr. I have 39945600 histlogs/<380 hosts>/files/Tue_Jan_26_05:22:32_2010 files in histlogs in 1 yr. Looking for a suggestion on how not to generate so many files. Currently I am running it like this [bbhistory] ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=stachg --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/history.log hobbitd_history Should I disable BBHOSTHISTLOG and/or SAVESTATUSLOG ?

Removing no longer available services from display
by s.seitz＠netz-haut.de 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi there, I've recently firewalled some services on some machines, now I'm trying to remove such services from xymon display. The services are currently displayed purple. Is there any documented way to remove single services from display? I've already cleaned up bb-hosts. Thank's for any suggestion!
