Hi, I got a weird problem on a ping test. Indeed, i got a simple definition in bb-hosts file: 10.204.32.41 plmfwl01 # DESCR:"Poalim,v1:PG,AA01,10" DEVMON When i ping it from Hobbit server, it works: # ping 10.204.32.41 PING 10.204.32.41 (10.204.32.41) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.204.32.41: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=6.18 ms 64 bytes from 10.204.32.41: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=8.87 ms 64 bytes from 10.204.32.41: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=8.38 ms 64 bytes from 10.204.32.41: icmp_seq=3 ttl=254 time=8.15 ms --- 10.204.32.41 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 6.187/7.902/8.877/1.029 ms, pipe 2 But i got a ping alarm: Tue Apr 7 16:57:42 2009 ping NOT ok Service ping on plmfwl01 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping System unreachable for 89 poll periods (21293 seconds) red 10.204.32.41 is unreachable Status unchanged in 5 hours, 56 minutes I checked that the status is sent from this hobbit server and it's the case. I'm using fping in hobbit config but it works too from shell: # fping 10.204.32.41 10.204.32.41 is alive The others devices are pinging correctly, i got only 2 ip in this case. What's going on ? Regards, Nico

to test the non-existence of a dir
by doctor＠makelofine.org 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi, Xymon allow me to test the non existence of file or directory. But I'd like a more complex test. In my case, I don't want any directory named _FIXED_PART_anything in a whole tree. Example : I've /toto/_FIXED_PART_1 -> test is red /toto/a/sub/directory/_FIXED_PART_hello_world -> test is red So, is there a "normal" way to use "files" test included in xymon ? Regards, Damien

Hobbit Email Alert Subject
by merlin_rbs＠hotmail.com 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, I hope I havent missed this somewhere on the forum and that someone can help. I have hobbit 4.2.0 running on Fedora Core 6 and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, monitoring around 400 Servers in our Production and Corporate environments. I setup a number of different groups in hobbit-alerts.cfg and am sending out alerts based on the department responsible and priority. The problem or issue some of the departments / admins have is when they receive alert emails on there blackberries. The email subject is truncated according to the blackberry screen size or font size. They have asked me if it is possible to format the message subject so that they can respond more efficiently without having to scroll through the entire email. As and example: Current alert email subject: Hobbit [604196] SERVER:disk CRITICAL (RED) What I would like the subject to be: SERVER:disk CRITICAL (RED) Hobbit [604196] This may seem a trivial or unimportant, but depending on the event we could receive up to 100 alerts messages from the fallout. It would be handy to scroll through the emails checking the subject without having to open them. Thanks for any help you can provide on this.

4.3.0-beta1 and "Trends Period Update"
by dominique.frise＠unil.ch 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, Beside our 4.2.0 production server we set up a test server with Xymon 4.3.0-beta1 software. Since then, we noticed two problems: 1. The hobbit-holidays.cfg is not installed (this has been already reported) 2. The -very nice- "Trends Period Update" does not work for hostnames where "NAME:hostname" is used. In those cases, the whole name is passed to the wrapper resulting in "No such host" Example for host sila : NAME:"sila [Serval Prod.]" ~xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?backdays=2&backhours=0&backmins=0&backsecs=0&HOST=sila+[Serval+Prod.]&SERVICE=trends&Go=Update Dominique
