remote/commandline Acknowledge Alerts
by martin.flemming＠desy.de 18 Mar '09

Hi ! I've got some colleagues who don't want to use the Webinterface to disable/enable Alerts or send Acknowledge Alerts for 30 or 50 machines at once ..... so, is there any chance to do that, remote ( with wget or curl .. maybe ..) or per commandline on the hobbitserver ? thanks & cheers, Martin

Hobbit server/client, Nagios server ?! (fwd)
by martin.flemming＠desy.de 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hmm, please don't be angry, that's my very last attemp ... >>> "Hobbit Server/Client and Nagios Server" >>> >>> I need something which triggers an alarm from an >>> hobbit-client or hobbitserver (prefer) to our NAGIOS-Server .. >>> I will be very happy, if only one hint came around .. Now, it's a very favorable moment for this, because we've got a student for some months, who can spend time for it ... It should not a be a pro/contra-discussion of Nagios vs. Xymon, which will be always on side of Xymon, won't it ? :-) It's only the technical question of the possibility .... Unfortunately, Nagios is in our IT-Department the political first Montitoring-Tool, but i want to share my advantage wit Xymon to the rest of our group ... thanks Martin ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:10:22 +0100 (CET) From: Martin Flemming <martin.flemming at desy.de> To: Hobbitmon-developer <hobbitmon-developer at lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Hobbitmon-developer] Hobbit server/client, Nagios server ?! Hi, again :-) At the time i've got the answer from Martin Ward, that it will be trickier as his Nagios-client-to-Hobbit-server-proxy (but not impossible), but probably nobody has the time or pressure to develop it ... Now, we've got possibly a student, who could take this theme and make some deployments ... Can somebody give me some hints or possible method of resolutions which we can give him in the hand ... thanks in advance & cheers martin On Wed, 12 Nov 2008, Martin Flemming wrote: > > Hi, and sorry for mailing again ... > > .. only want/need an hint or short answer, if it will be possible, > not now, in this moment but in the future .. :-) > > The original thread with Nagios-client and Hobbit-Server, > is also nice but no solution for my "problem" alternatively my IT-Department > Headquarters ... :-( > > > thanks & cheers > > martin > > P.S.: > .. or should i posted another once to the list again, > maybe the euphoria of the Development and Status of Xymon and so on .. cover > some questions ... > > ______________________________________________________ > Martin Flemming > DESY / IT office : Building 2b / 008a > Notkestr. 85 phone : 040 - 8998 - 4667 > 22603 Hamburg mail : martin.flemming at desy.de > ______________________________________________________ > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:03:53 +0100 (CET) > From: martin.flemming at desy.de > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: Hobbit server/client, Nagios server ?! > > > Hi ! > > ... some spinning around this quite recently thread .... > >> RE: [hobbit] Nagios client, Hobbit server anyone? >> >> http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/11/msg00212.html > > > "Hobbit Server/Client and Nagios Server" > > I need something which triggers an alarm from an > hobbit-client or hobbitserver (prefer) to our NAGIOS-Server .. > > .. the reason ? > > Our Operating-Crew and our hole IT-Division (execept me and my > Admin-Colleagues) > > are using NAGIOS as our first Monitoring-Tool, but i for my own use > Hobbit/Xymon ... :-) > > So, after Hobbit is monitoring, maybe less fewer (?), the half of our 3000 > Machines, > > Hobbit/Xymon is switching from "My" to "OUR" Tool ... that's means > more,authoritative and accurate work for me ... > > .. and using the big advantage of Hobbit/Xymon to adavance the Monitoring > of our whole Division "against" our Customers ... > > ... maybe something trigger an alarm while sending alarm-mails > or something around, as told several time before, i'm not a brillant coder > :-( > > .. or maybe traps .. ? > > Some suggestions ? .. are very welcome :-) > > > thanks & cheers > > martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.

Hi, I'm running a windows 2k3 server french edition, and bbwin is running on it. It reports ports status using localized french caracters (é, à ...) So, how may I configure my monitoring system to deal with it ? Do I have to change the way windows answer commands ? Or do I have to configure something in bbwin or xymon server (4.2.3 running on debian) Tks for your help

SMS alert on reboot
by Jarrod.Hodder＠pmg.net.au 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hey Guys, I am trying to find a way I can get a SMS notification to be sent out when a computer has been rebooted. My SMS gateway is working fine. The indepth report on the CPU says that the machine has been rebooted, but the status of the CPU never goes off green. How do I set it up to tell me when it has been rebooted when the status doesn't change? Cheers Jarrod Hodder

monitoring services
by johan＠matrix-data.co.uk 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

I must be missing something very basic here, but I cannot get hobbit to monitor a specific service on some Windows 2003 servers. In bb-hosts I use the PAGE directive to split up Linux and Windows servers. In hobbit-clients.cfg I want to check just the Windows servers for a service called fstats.exe: PAGE=Windows PROC fstats.exe But this just doesn't work. I'm 100% sure that is the name of the service, and I already do something similar (albeit not on the same network) to monitor sqlservr.exe on some Windows servers but from another hobbit server. Any ideas what I'm missing? Thanks.

File Monitoring (MTIME & SIZE)
by MFisher＠hra.com 17 Mar '09

17 Mar '09

Hi All, I am trying to monitor files which should NOT be modified. If have the SIZE and MTIME parameter setup as follows: HOST=testhost.test.com FILE /etc/passwd TYPE=file OWNER=0 GROUP=0 MODE=644 SIZE=123456 MTIME>86400 red This basically means that if the file is modified within the last 24 hours, or if the SIZE is different than 123456 it should go red... It never goes to any other status other than green. I also have the /etc/passwd entry in the clients-local.cfg file as well\ Any Ideas?

XYMON Connection test
by mv652＠softhome.net 17 Mar '09

17 Mar '09

Hi, I am just getting started with the Xymon 4.2.3, and am very pleased with that the trending and graphing I've been looking for comes pre-built ready and working immediately after install. I have a couple questions that I wouldn't mind to be answered though... In the "conn" section of each host, the Y-Axis is in seconds, however the results seem odd as they are showing in milliseconds rather than microseconds. testing from the command line, the results are all under 500us. I opted to use hobbitping, but can move to fping if that may be the problem. Thanks, Mario
