05 Nov '09

Because of some illness and lack of time I haven't tested Xymon for a while. Today I installed Xymon 4.4.0-1 from 2009-10-27. I get no Menu on the different servicepages and no bb-footer. You could have a look at the link below. -- Regards Lars Ebeling http://leopg9.no-ip.org Hobbithobbyist "I am not young enough to know everything." -- Oscar Wilde

Location of the Linux / Unix client software
by d.tom.schmitt＠L-3com.com 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

I know this is a trivial question, but I cannot find the Linux client code. Server is Xymon-4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.3. I am running the Linux client on a test system currently. I cannot find the link to the location of the software on any site. Is there a different software for UNIX vs. Linux? Is it just source or is it compiled? I have the directories on the server but don't want to copy them over to another system. I could not find any links under Help on the web page nor on Sourceforge - must be looking for the wrong thing. I know that the Windows client BBWin has its own site. Thanks, Tom Schmitt Senior IT Staff - R&D D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.com \\\\||//// \ ~ ~ / | @ @ | --oOo---(_)---oOo--

MEMPHYS vs MEMACT?
by dewey＠sasser.com 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Hello all, I'm trying to understand the machine memory graphs -- specifically the differences between MEMPHYS and MEMACT (or "actual" and "real" on the graphs). Is this pretty much straight from vmstat? e.g. Is "actual" the "active" memory from vmstat and "real" the total - free? I recall seeing information on this weeks ago, but my GoogleFu (and Google Desktop) fails me today. Thanks, -- Dewey **

Help with hobbitd_channel and hobbitd_filestore
by tlewick＠tradebotsystems.com 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

More digging, this stems from the fact that I was passing channel=client, and hobbit_filestore doesn't support the client channel, at least in the version I have, i.e. 4.2.0 I just tried running: bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=data --log=/home/hobbit/data/logs/clientcpu.log hobbitd_filestore --data and that did work. So now it's a question of, how do I get hobbitd_filestore to work with hobbit_channel --channel=client? Modify hobbitd_filestore.c? -----Original Message----- From: Taylor Lewick Sent: Friday, October 30, 2009 10:58 AM To: 'hobbit at hswn.dk' Subject: RE: Help with hobbitd_channel and hobbitd_filestore I think this is a problem with hobbitd_filestore getting/reading the correct file I changed the hobbitd_channel command to: ./hobbitd_channel --channel=client --log=/home/hobbit/data/logs/logfile.txt get_channel_data.pl The get_channel_data.pl was a very simple perl script I wrote just to see if it was getting data from Standard Input. And it worked. The perl script is just: #!/usr/bin/pl $FH="/home/hobbit/data/logs/clientchannel.log": open (OUTFILE, ">$FH"); while ( <STDIN> ) { chomp $_; print OUTFILE "$_\n"; } close (OUTFILE); So clientchannel.log has the output I'd expect to see. And the logfile is no longer being populated with "Our child has failed and will not talk to us... Cause bad file descriptor" messages The only similar post I could find on this was the following thread, http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/08/msg00326.html But that was back a few years and was for someone who was running on AIX, and it looked inconclusive. FYI, I'm running hobbit 4.2.0 on a Suse 10.2 server.

[hobbit] Garbled http test.
by mmoldvan＠csc.com 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

What is the destination web site intended to look like? Is it all just plain HTML, is it replying with some fancy HTTP Headers, or maybe launching a Java app? My suggestion would be to install FireBug under Firefox (http://getfirebug.com) if you don't have it already, and analyze the HTTP Request/Reply and headers that come back from that URL. Also, is there anything in your Xymon logs or syslog/messages on the Xymon server? Might be some clue there as to what's going on ... Good luck, Matt.
