Metrics Reports Date/Time Verses Day Only
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

I've had a lot of users requesting if the Metrics Reports could also utilize a time, instead of the just the Day. Is there a way to change the Metrics Reports to use Times in addition to the Dates? So for example, the user wants to see CPU utilization from 10 am to 4 pm yesterday. Thanks..James

History Custom Script (Client data ID)
by bb＠buglecreek.com 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

We have a custom script that just goes out and grabs a status from a few web sites for a product. It seems to work fine. When we go to the history page for the test, all the change of status is there as you would expect. But when you scroll down and select a colored ball under the status column some of them work and some do not. The ones that do not work generate a browser error that states: File Not Found Firefox can't find the file at https://XXXXXXX/xymon-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=XXXXXXX&SERVICE=customtest&TIM…. The data file is in the histlogs directory and has the correct name. The data in the file is correct. So we copied the line that says "Client data ID 1234567890" in a history file that displays correctly and replaced the line in a file that does not display correctly. It now shows up fine with the correct data. So maybe the "Client data ID" line is the problem. Replace the line with a known good one and all is well. Checked perms and they seem fine. The httpd error log generates the following when a status is selected that does not display correctly: [Tue Jun 23 12:31:14 2009] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Premature end of script headers: bb-histlog.sh, referer: https://XXXXXX/xymon-cgi/bb-hist.sh?HISTFILE=XXXXXX.customtest&ENTRIES=50&I… Error is not generated when a status is selected that displayed correctly. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Not really sure how "Client data ID" line is being used or generated. If in fact that is the issue.

Custom RRD Graph Alerting
by wrichardson＠llbean.com 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

I have several custom graphs being built in Xymon and would like to alert on the values in the rrd files being generated. I first setup the graphs just to get some kind of idea for trending and now after a few months of graphing I see what is good and what is bad and would like to alert. Has anyone been down this road? Just looking for other ways to get alerts without having to build and touch several systems custom scripts. I found a perl script on cpan that should be able to do this. This may be a way to simplify custom graph alerts by just having the Xymon client on the Xymon server run this script every 5 minutes. Thoughts? http://search.cpan.org/~rsoliv/rrdpoller/Threshold.pm Bill

actual memory reporting on AIX
by lebarber＠gmail.com 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Is there anyway to report actual memory on AIX 5.3 clients? The thing is that the old BigBrother client reported actual memory and I have users that don't what to switch to the Hobbit client because of that. I would really like to get those old BB clients off of the system, too. Thanks, Larry Barber

SMART checks for discs
by wouter＠schoot.org 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Dear list, I've been looking for a plugin that reports the SMART status for a range of discs in a system. Using smartctl, a lot of variables can be checked. I haven't found anything like that on deadcat or google using hobbit or xymon. Is there such plugin available ? Thanks in advance. Wouter

Can not clear Missing repeater data problem
by Sherry.Litz＠qwest.com 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

I have a confusing problem. I'm getting white confused faces for one of my devices and I can not clear the problem. The white faces are reporting that I'm missing an OID however I can run the snmpget command from the server and see the OID that hobbit is reporting it can not find. I removed the site from Devmon and we also re-created the hobbit.db and it still is having an issue. We are not seeing any error message in the log files to help. This was setup and working for a long time and I had put a rule in not to alert on if_load because we were testing a new pull and then I enabled the if_load after we got done testing and I have had nothing but problems with getting this devices to be monitored. What else can I try to clear the problem? We are running Devmon 0.3.0-rc1. Errors: Input errors: yellow=5%, red=10% Output errors: yellow=5%, red=10% [cid:image001.gif at 01C9F35E.C3FB1FE0] Missing repeater data for primary OID ifName Devmon version 0.3.0-rc1 running on iadhbtp1 [cid:image003.jpg at 01C9F35E.C3FB1FE0] Thanks Sherry Litz
