Need Help Setting up Two PAGERS/DISPLAYS/Xymon Servers
by wiskbroom＠hotmail.com 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hello; I am trying to setup 2 now, possibly up to 4 later, Xymon servers. Each server would be located at one of several data centers, each would be receiving data from clients located at their own sites. I am trying to eliminate having to go to each Xymon server individually for data and was wondering if perhaps there is a better way to show reports for the others? I've read this: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Administration_Gu… Unfortunately this doesn't explain how it was done, especially the bbproxy part, nor how to configure my clients (BBWin, and various unixes, and a few Cisco devices later). By the way, I have a test XP workstation with BBWin and IP's for two of my Xymon servers, one is showing no data at all for this workstation. Finally, I am of course very interested in holding a setup that does not page/email/alert for each other, except for when the other/peer is down? Thank you all in advance, .vadim

Xymon Stornext Monitor
by questy＠gmail.com 25 Jan '10

Hey everyone.. I just created a new Stornext fsstate monitor for Xymon. I uploaded it to Xymonton, and if you're running Stornext filesystem + the HSM, I'd like you to give it a try. It essentially makes sure you have a sane number of fsstate processes running, and then graphs the number of tape drives in use on the system, and their state: DELAYED, IN USE, or FREE. It's my first one, so there may be an issue or two you happen to see, but it's been working here for nearly a month with no issues. Documentaiton on Xymonton and in-script. --- Jerald M. Sheets jr.

LIFETIME, purple statuses & check intervals
by kii.noda＠gmail.com 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hi everyone, We're in the process of moving away from Zabbix and have been considering Xymon/Hobbit for this move. We do, however, have a few things we need to clear up. We've been deployng Hobbig on a Debian Lenny box and have a few Debian (Sarge, Etch, Lenny) and a few Fedora clients. We are, at this point, wondering about the reasons behind having a LIFETIME of 30 minutes for checks. The way we see things, we'd rather have this as 6 minutes considering a 5 minute interval for the checks. Can anyone please explain why this has been setup as such and if/how this can be changed? Been going through /etc/hobbit files, read man pages and exercised our Google-Fu but could not come up with a solution. Also, could someone please suggest a reason for not moving interval checks to lower values, such as 1 minute? Zabbix has been spoiling us with very small check intervals, giving us the feeling of staying on top of things. Thank you very much in advance, -- kN

BBWin and purple alerts
by Galen.Johnson＠sas.com 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Well, I wrestled with the problem in this thread, http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2009/06/msg00069.html and I think I've finally figured out why my test kept turning purple. It would appear that BBWin expects additional content after the "color+delay" component. I had set my script to put that on a line by itself but only after I went down the rabbit hole of the thread above did I connect the fact that Graeme was not adding a newline but just making it part if his message. I wanted to put this out there in case anyone else ran into and got frustrated like myself because there appeared to be no resolution in the archives (nor on the bbwin site...is it even still being maintained?). =G=
