Alignment of Server names different on IE versus Firefox
by thomas.andersen＠morganmanagement.com 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

I recently installed Xymon 4.3.0-o.beta2 on my Ubuntu system. The pages look great on Firefox. However, on IE all the servers are centered. I need them to be left justified like in FireFox. What do I do to fix this? Thanks!

[hobbit] Question about RRDTOOL Graphs in Xymon
by fredbo＠club-internet.fr 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Thanks for your help, the biggest difficulty for me is to be understable in english;) in fact I know how to fetch data from rrd files but I would like to know how is the most simple procedure to calculate avg/max/min that RRDtool prints in graphs. Fred Check where you have $INSTALLDIR/data/rrd on your hobbit server and you will find these rrd files for each server in their own directory. They are NOT in text format and you need to use the rrd tools to access the raw data. See the section on custom graphs for an example on how to dump one of these files. ......Bruce Bruce White Senior Enterprise Systems Engineer | Phone: 630-671-5169 | Fax: 630-893-1648 | bewhite at fellowes.com | http://www.fellowes.com/ Disclaimer: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.

Building hobbit-nkview.cfg from cmdb (Critical systems view)
by franchu.garcia＠gmail.com 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hi all, I'm trying to generate the hobbit-nkview.cfg file from an external source (our CMDB) and not using the Critical systems editor, hobbit-nkedit.sh . As I've being unable to find docs on the format for the hobbit-nkview.cfg file, I'm just hoping you help me to gather the relevant into. The requirements are: - All monitored hosts are subject to appear in the Critical systems view. - All hosts are applied Prio3 by default. - Some checks (columns) may have higher priority than host's default. ie: load-balanced host is prio3 but http check in that host is prio2. Playing around with the editor, I've being able to produce this : # fake host definition that all unix hosts inherit dummy_unix_template|content||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|cpu||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|disk||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|files||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|fullduplex||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|hardware||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|http||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|info||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|memory||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|meta||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|msgs||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|network||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|ntp||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|ping||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|ports||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|procs||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|raid||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|ssh||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|sslcert||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|temp||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|timediff||||2|Group in charge|| dummy_unix_template|updates||||2|Group in charge|| # real servers actual_unix_host1|=dummy_unix_template actual_unix_host2|=dummy_unix_template ...etc However this has a number of drawbacks : - I've being unable to find a regexp to match all columns. Then it makes necessary to know in advance all the columns that all hosts can have (and involve the development team each time a new column is required). - It's also a problem since most of our HTTP checks are named content_* , ie: content_InternalURL , content_APP1, etc). any ideas? best regards

Hi all, In Xymon normaly we can see some statistics in each graphs , example for load average on last 48 hours, we have : max min average. My question : Is Xymon or Rrdtool store these results in a text format file or it is "dynamic" ? My conf is Solaris 10 / Xymon 4.2.3 and Rrdtool 1.2.9 Thanks Best Regards, FB

BBWin Question
by andreas.sin＠itc.alstom.com 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hello In the Hobbit Webinterface when you click on the "trends" icon you get an overview of different diagrams for the last 48 hours such as CPU load, Disk utilisatization, memory utilization, etc. There is also one diagram for "users and processes". Actually the amount of users is permanently at 0 (zero) although it's a terminal server, where I have up to 40 users working concurrently day by day. Does somebody know, based on what hobbit is gathering the informations about the # of users? I mean based on which command? It would be perfect, if hobbit would be able to count the ica sessions. Is there a possibility to get those informations monitored? cheers Andi Kind regards / Freundliche Grüsse Andreas Sin, System Engineer ALSTOM (Switzerland) Ltd.

MEMPHYS went nuts
by jkikpole＠cairodurham.org 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

I've been setting up Xymon since I heard about it a couple of days ago. So far, its fantastic. Unfortunately, after a UPS malfunction that caused a whole room to restart, I have an inexplicable alarm. Take a look at this red alarm: Memory Used Total Percentage Physical 4294964640M 4084M 4294967231% Swap 0M 4096M 0% This is from a FreeBSD 7.x box that has 8GB of physical RAM and 4GB of swap. According to "top", the physical memory is still about 6.75GB free. I've restarted the daemon on the host in question as well as on Xymon's GUI/web server. I've even tried a bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME memory" just to see if it would help. I'm not even sure where to start on this. It was working well for a day or so before going bad like this. My best guess right now is some kind of "wrap-around" problem with an integer or something like that causing bad data in memory. Suggestions? Thanks in advance, Jaime P.S. - The alarm is at the following URL, if that helps: http://cns.cairodurham.org/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=cerberus.cairodurh… -- Network Administrator Cairo-Durham Central School District http://cns.cairodurham.org
