Hello, When I try to compile the client with gmake -s or gmake, even if I use command line I have the following result.

PORT check based on running PROC
by vadud3＠gmail.com 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

How do I do PORT tests as a condition to running PROC ? In other words do the PORT test and alert me only if PROC A is running. Otherwise ignore. -- 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?

Using dispincludes with subpage and subparents - not working - please help...
by wiskbroom＠hotmail.com 28 Jan '10

Hello All; My bb-hosts file does not actually contain much in terms of hosts, or IP addresses, instead I've opted to use "dispinclude" statements which inject data in the "IP-ADDRESS HOSTNAME" format. The problem is that it either does not work at all, or just works on just the second "dispinclude" for the same file. I.e., I am using "includes/S1/s1wintelAD.txt" in two locations below. Are my statements missing something? Do I have my order incorrect perhaps? Thank you, .vadim ---------START OF includes/S1/s1wintelAD.txt FILE------ 192.168.1.200 client200 192.168.1.201 client201 192.168.1.202 client202 --------------START OF bb-hosts FILE------------------- page s1servers Site 1 group-compress Site1 Xymon Server 192.168.1.100 xymon1.example.com # BBPAGER BBNET BBDISPLAY bbd http://xymon1.example.comm/ title Building 1 Site # ############# # NETWORK # ############# # subpage s1network Site1 Network Equipment title Site1 Network Equipment # subparent s1network s1networkROUTERScores Core Routers group-compress Site1 Core Routers dispinclude includes/S1/s1networkROUTERScores.txt # subparent s1network s1networkROUTERSswitches Core Switches group-compress Site1 Core Switches dispinclude includes/S1/s1networkROUTERSswitches.txt # subparent s1network s1networkSWITCHES Network Switches group-compress Site1 Network Switches dispinclude includes/S1/s1networkSWITCHES.txt # # ############# # WINDOWS # ############# # subpage s1wintel Site1 Wintel Servers title Site1 Wintel Servers # subparent s1wintel s1wintelEXCH Exchange Servers group-compress Site1 Exchange Servers dispinclude includes/S1/s1wintelEXCH.txt # subparent s1wintel s1wintelAD Wintel AD Servers group-compress Site1 Wintel AD Servers dispinclude includes/S1/s1wintelAD.txt # subparent s1wintel s1wintelFS Wintel Fileservers group-compress Site1 Wintel Fileservers dispinclude includes/S1/s1wintelFS.txt # ################################# # All AD Servers (All-Sites) # ################################# # page allwintelad All AD Servers title All Corporate AD Servers dispinclude includes/S1/s1wintelAD.txt dispinclude includes/S2/s2wintelAD.txt dispinclude includes/S3/s3wintelAD.txt # --------------END OF bb-hosts FILE-------------------

Alerting rules - covering 24h interval.
by kii.noda＠gmail.com 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Hi everyone, In our journey towards completely and successfully deploying Xymon on our machines we've come over this situation: we want to have an alert coming to us if the duration is over 30 minutes between 0800 and 2259 AND every 60 minutes between 2300 and 0759 the next day. They need to be repeated every 120 minutes in both cases. The following group of 3 rules obviously covers what we want to accomplish, right? --- cut here --- MAIL email at recipient.tld DURATION>60 REPEAT=120 RECOVERED NOTICE TIME=*:0000:0759 MAIL email at recipient.tld DURATION>30 REPEAT=120 RECOVERED NOTICE TIME=*:0800:2259 MAIL email at recipient.tld DURATION>60 REPEAT=120 RECOVERED NOTICE TIME=*:2300:2359 --- and here --- However, we're looking to write the most simple set of rules that would cover our requirements and would therefore welcome your answers regarding the following possible variants: 1. Would the following set of rules work given a setting like "TIME=*:2300:0759"? --- cut here --- MAIL email at recipient.tld DURATION>30 REPEAT=120 RECOVERED NOTICE TIME=*:0800:2259 MAIL email at recipient.tld DURATION>60 REPEAT=120 RECOVERED NOTICE TIME=*:2300:0759 --- and here --- 2. Or maybe would the following work? In this case, wouldn't this duplicate alerts that happen to have a duration of 70 minutes, for example? --- cut here --- MAIL email at recipient.tld DURATION>30 REPEAT=120 RECOVERED NOTICE TIME=*:0800:2259 MAIL email at recipient.tld DURATION>60 REPEAT=120 RECOVERED NOTICE --- and here --- 3. We have also been considering using "STOP" as below but this won't work when we need to alert 3 similar recipients. Any thoughts? --- cut here --- MAIL email at recipient.tld DURATION>30 REPEAT=120 RECOVERED NOTICE TIME=*:0800:2259 STOP MAIL email at recipient.tld DURATION>60 REPEAT=120 RECOVERED NOTICE --- and here --- We are definitely looking forward to see the answers that users more experienced than ourselves would provide. Thanks in advance for your help. -- kN

rrd 10 minute intervals
by scottlryan＠gmail.com 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

I have a custom check that I have integrated into xymon. The data for the check I want to graph using NCV/RRDtool as COUNTER/DERIVE data (as it is an ever increasing number) Problem I am having is that the data is only updated every 10 minutes. I configured the graph in /etc/xymon/hobbitgraph.d/somegraph.cfg - you can see I added the --step 600 option. [sms] TITLE SMS Statistics YAXIS No_SMS DEF:Failures=sms.rrd:Failures:AVERAGE DEF:Successes=sms.rrd:Successes:AVERAGE AREA:Failures#00cccc:Failures:STACK AREA:Successes#FF0000:Successes:STACK COMMENT:\n --step 600 GPRINT:Failures:LAST:Failures \: %5lf%s (cur) GPRINT:Failures:MAX: \: %5.0lf%s (max) GPRINT:Failures:MIN: \: %5.0lf%s (min) GPRINT:Failures:AVERAGE: \: %5.0lf%s (avg)\n GPRINT:Successes:LAST:Successes \: %5.1lf%s (cur) GPRINT:Successes:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max) GPRINT:Successes:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min) GPRINT:Successes:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n In the hobbitserver.cfg as well as adding sms=ncv to get the graphing to work - I added: NCV_sms="*:DERIVE:600" My script runs every 10 minutes from the hobbitlaunch.d directory. The data in the rrd file does not tie up though from the rrdtool dump. The last_ds is correct, but the actual value keeps returning NaN - and hence the graph does not generate. <ds> <name> Failures </name> <type> DERIVE </type> <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat> <min> 6.0000000000e+02 </min> <max> NaN </max>  <last_ds> 2252 </last_ds> <value> NaN </value> <unknown_sec> 138 </unknown_sec> </ds> If I decrease the step or the hearbeat to the default of 5 mins, then the graph looks completely wrong. I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas. -- Scott Ryan

"absolute values" in RRD graph
by ipnd-alerts＠logicaltech.com.au 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hi, I want to get statistics about up/down time on our Solaris cluster in a graph form. I would like to see 4 states in a graph. 3 - UP 2 - FAILED OVER 1 - PLANNED DOWNTIME 0 - DOWN I got the cluster script that reports these states to BB or Xymon. But I can't find a way to do the graph. RRD graphs seems to always average out data. The problem is that I want to report the absolute values and not the averaged out data that seems to be default. For instance if the cluster is DOWN ( 0 ) for 10 minutes I would like that state to remain and not to averaged out to 2.5 after an hour. Is this possible? - Roland

group-only|group-except on alternate pagesets
by bb4＠richter-it.net 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there everyone, is it possible to use the group-only/group-except directive also for alternate pagesets? Background: I have a few servers that appear on a subpage twice (once with all the system tests and the other time with the application tests) Now I created a view for another department for these machines. And they want to have the same segmentation as on the operating view. But on their view the servers appear twice with all tests.
