Installin xymon on Solaris10

Hello, I installed xymon on linux--no problems. Now I was asked to install it on Solaris 10, no so easy.. I've run one time the "./configure.server" in the end there was a message about "not finding ar" so added the /usr/ccs/bin to the $PATH I deleted the MAKEFILE and run again the "/configure.server" I am getting this error message. "# MAKE=make ./configure.server Configuration script for Xymon This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon Checking your make-utility GNU make is required to build Xymon. If it is available as "gmake", run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake ./configure.server' " If I run the "make" again I am getting " make: Fatal error: No arguments to build" Any suggestions? Thanks Camelia

Clearing "errors in" on cisco 3500XL
by brian.daly＠criticalpath.net 16 Dec '09

Hi Guys, I am not sure if this is a devmon or hobbit question so I am mailing both parties. I am currently monitoring a Cisco 3500XL which is showing alot of "erros in" under the if_err section. When I clear the counters of the switch, everything returns to zero except "errors in" which still remains at the same level it was before clearing the counters. Does anybody know how to clear these values? Brian

dbcheck 1.21 vs xymon 4.2.3 (tablespace graphs)
by bgmilne＠staff.telkomsa.net 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

I have previously used dbcheck version 1.15, but with local hacks in dbcheck to get it to report tablespace data in a format for which the Hobbit 4.2.0 built-in disk check could collect RRD data (as at the time I didn't have time to get a change approved on the production monitoring environment). I recently had a requirement to monitor database servers in a new environment, and used dbcheck 1.21 (as support for different thresholds for tablespaces with autoextend enabled or not will be useful). However, as far as I can tell, the RRD collector shipped with Xymon 4.2.3 is only going to work with dbcheck 1.15. So, I patched Xymon 4.2.3 with the patch-4.2.3 shipped with hobbit-perl-cl 1.21. For these tests, I have RRD files and graphs, but they are all NaN: Session TblSpace For these tests, I have RRD files, and graphs with values: InvObj MemReq For these tests, I have a broken graph (no image): HitCache Now, I would prefer to have graphs for all the tests, but immediately, graphs for TblSpace would be most useful. Unfortunately I don't have a test/dev environment with a full Oracle installation (I will try and get an OracleXE into my usual Xymon dev environment, but I don't know if that is sufficient), so I can't debug this sufficiently. The Xymon host in question is running CentOS 5.3 x86_64 at present. So, some questions: -Does the RRD collector that ships with Xymon 4.2.3 support dbcheck 1.15 ? -If not, does the RRD collector patch for 4.2.3 shipped in 1.21 support x86_64? Will these changes be merged into Xymon SVN any time soon? I prefer not to apply patches which aren't going to find their way upstream. Otherwise, I will try and test this with some dumps from hobbitdlog on the production environment on my test environment .... Regards, Buchan

Monitor vfiler with Netapp.pl
by linuxmasterjedi＠free.fr 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Hi, I'm using the Francesco Duranti Netapp.pl perl script to monitor Netapp filer. I would like to know if it's possible to monitor Vfiler via this script too ? Instead of launch command with "rshcommand = /usr/bin/rsh -l root" for regular filer, it will be "rshcommand = /usr/bin/rsh -l root "vfiler context $MYVFILERNAME" then, the command. Any advice is welcome
