NCV behaving badly
by Gudmundur.O.Ingvarsson＠landsbankinn.is 11 Dec '09

Hi, I'm having some trouble with NCV after upgrading from Hobbit 4.2.0 to Xymon 4.2.3 Notably many of my NCV graphs are no longer updating, and these are the kind of errors I'm seeing in my rrd-status.log 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error creating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/lia10bc01.li01r1d.lais.net/bladecenter.rrd: Duplicate DS name: tableborder 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error creating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/lia10bc01.li01r1d.lais.net/power.rrd: Duplicate DS name: TotalAllocatedPower 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error creating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/DS4800_RB_02/perf.rrd: Duplicate DS name: IMGBORDER 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error creating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/DS4800_RB_02/perf.rrd: Duplicate DS name: IMGBORDER 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error updating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/lia10bc02.li01r1d.lais.net/bladecenter.rrd from 172.27.100.236: unknown DS name 'tableborder' 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error updating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/lia10bc02.li01r1d.lais.net/power.rrd from 172.27.100.236: unknown DS name 'TotalAllocatedPower' 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error updating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/lia10bc03.li01r1d.lais.net/bladecenter.rrd from 172.27.100.236: unknown DS name 'tableborder' 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error updating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/lia10bc03.li01r1d.lais.net/power.rrd from 172.27.100.236: unknown DS name 'TotalAllocatedPower' 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error updating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/lia10bc04.li01r1d.lais.net/bladecenter.rrd from 172.27.100.236: unknown DS name 'tableborder' 2009-12-11 08:45:41 RRD error updating /usr/local/xymon/data/rrd/lia10bc04.li01r1d.lais.net/power.rrd from 172.27.100.236: unknown DS name 'TotalAllocatedPower' When the duplicate error is involved Xymon cannot create an RRD file, and the unknown error is when it can't update the RRD because it's parsing wrong from the HTML file.

Hi, I configured downtime for some of my hosts. The red tests become blue, and I'm happy with it. But many tests switch to purple, and I'd like them to go blue during downtime period. Is it possible anyway ? Regards, Damien

Issue with MAILC env variable?
by Tom.Moore＠sas.com 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Actually.. I think I've narrowed it down to this in the hobbitlaunch.cfg file ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg When it's parsing that it gives the error for the MAILC option. The server itself seems to send out emails fine with the syntax on alerts. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Moore Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 3:12 PM To: 'hobbit at hswn.dk' Subject: Issue with MAILC env variable? I'm trying to use the -r option in "nail" to change the from address headers. It works fine if I just have an email address, however if I use the (Name) nomenclature the hobbitd bombs with this error: /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg: line 97: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg: line 97: `MAILC="/usr/bin/nail -r "user at blah.com (Xymon)"" Env is this: MAILC="/usr/bin/nail -r "user at blah.com (Xymon)"" MAIL="$MAILC -s" >From the command line this works fine as well: /usr/bin/nail -r "user at blah.com (Xymon)" myemail at something.com Is there something in Xymon that is interpreting the parenthesis? I've even tried to escape them with \ to no avail. Thx, Tom

monitoring solaris client
by am.srini＠gmail.com 10 Dec '09

Hi, I just installed on a solaris box (SunOS pluto 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250), I have edited ~/etc/hobbitclient.cfg and given xymon server IP and on Xymon server ~/server/etc/bb-hosts and added this sun box ip address and hostname. I can only see conn, info, trends data. others such as cpu, disk, memory, msgs are all empty. Am I missing something basic here or any config changes I had to take care. bash-3.00# MAKE=gmake ./configure.client Configuration script for Hobbit client This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Hobbit Checking your make-utility Hobbit normally keeps all of the client configuration files on the Hobbit server. If you prefer, it is possible to use a local client configuration file instead - if so, answer 'client' to the next question. NB: Local configuration requires the PCRE libs on each host. Server side client configuration, or client side [server] ? client Checking for the PCRE libraries Checking for PCRE ... Found PCRE include files in /opt/sfw/include Found PCRE libraries in /opt/sfw/lib Checking for Large File Support ... ERROR: LFS support check failed for standard file support What userid will be running Hobbit [hobbit] ? xymon Found passwd entry for user xymon:x:60040:1::/export/home/xymon:/bin/bash Where do you want the Hobbit installation [/export/home/xymon] ? OK, will configure to use /export/home/xymon as the Hobbit toplevel directory What is the IP-address of your Hobbit server [127.0.0.1] ? xxx.xxx.xx.x6 Using SunOS Makefile settings Created Makefile with the necessary information to build Hobbit Some defaults are used, so do look at the Makefile before continuing. Configuration complete - now run gmake (GNU make) to build the tools bash-3.00# bash-3.00# gmake bash-3.00# gmake install bash-3.00# vi etc/hobbitclient.cfg "etc/hobbitclient.cfg" 52 lines, 1690 characters # Environment settings for the Hobbit client.

Thanks all for your help, Srinu

"Main View" Help Needed
by wiskbroom＠hotmail.com 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

I currently have 7 sites which I intend to monitor using xymon. I've already configured each site using "page site1group Site1", each including several "group-compress" statements that break down the site for additional items like "Windows Servers", "XP Desktops", "Windows-7 Desktops", "Netgear", "Linux Servers", etc. So far, it looks and works beautifully. What I'd like to do now is to create a separating break followed by additional "pages" labeled "Windows Servers", "XP Desktops", "Windows-7 Desktops", "Netgear", "Linux Servers", etc. The difference between what is contained in the "page" under "XP Desktops" on my "Main View" and Site1's "XP Desktops" are that the one under "Main View" would contain ALL of the firms "XP Desktops" and Site1 would contain only those. My question is, how do I create the separator, and how do I make the pages, grouped by function as I've stated? I know that I can just keep creating more pages, but I wish to have them separate and with a different title as well. Thanks, .vp
