updating XymonPSClient
by CROBLE＠milwaukee.gov 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hello, I want to update our clients to the latest build of XymonPSClient. Do I need to follow the uninstall procedure from the documentation or can I just stop the service, and replace XymonPSClient.ps1 with the new one and then startup the service? Trying to go from version 2.37 to 2.41. Thanks.

Merging some add-ons into Xymon source code
by spah＠syntec.co.uk 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

I think merging some add-ons into the Xymon source code should be considered where those add-ons would be widely used, subject to licensing restrictions. For example, and I have not yet tested this add-on, but a way to alert on processes using too much memory looks increasingly useful to me (together with graphing of memory for certain processes): http://tools.rebel-it.com.au/xymon-procmem/ Ideally the shell code that add-on uses would be converted to support in the C code so that this could be configured in analysis.cfg rather than hosts.cfg though. Another example is Xymondash: https://github.com/daduke/Xymondash I haven't used it yet either, but it sounds good. Having said that, development on that shouldn't be stymied by locking it to Xymon releases - and it requires Python >= 3.5 (or 3.4). Maybe as a post-installation task Xymon could ask if you wish to install it, check dependencies, ask a few questions, download and install it? It would be good to be able to present a more modern GUI as part of Xymon. Kind regards, SebA

Morning or Evening, Everyone. I am looking at deploying Xymon, through the Google Cloud Compute service, I sadly have no space for a physical server and was wondering if can Zymon can run on an low amount of ram and CPU.

[External] Windows XymonPSClient feature request
by zak.beck＠accenture.com 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hi Interesting, yes, we don’t have any guards against that and it does happen (I've seen it too). Quick dump of my thoughts: Firstly, this should only be an issue for async tasks. The client blocks for sync tasks and so you shouldn't get them stacking up - this is a potential solution for your issue which then becomes why do I have so many purple clients 🙂. However, you might want to add a timeout for sync tasks and the way it's written should make this reasonably easy. For tasks with a maxtime, we're going to need to store the process object along with the start time and duration. In fact to keep things simple, I would suggest storing this anyway even if maxtime = 0 (which I'd use to mean indefinite). One consideration is that by default, the client only runs every five minutes - so the shortest duration we can act on is five minutes or multiples of. For that reason I'd suggest that maxtime should be an integer expressed in minutes without further suffixes.

Hi Zak and others, I have been discussing a forthcoming implementation with some Windows admins and they already have a bunch of externals which we are talking about scheduling for them via remote client-local.cfg configuration items. They have been bitten previously by some of the scripts hanging on a network response issue and subsequent runs hitting the same fate until the box hangs with memory issues or whatever. I think it would be relatively straight forward to implement something like this that wouldnt break existing configurations :- external:PRIORITY:SCHEDULE:METHOD(|MAXTIME):SCRIPT|HASH|HASHVALUE|PROCESS|ARGUMENTS where the MAXTIME keyword sets a maximum time that the SCRIPT may run; if exceeded, XymonPSClient will kill the SCRIPT. The time is in seconds by default, you can specify minutes, hours or days by adding an "m", "h" or "d" after the number. By default there is no upper limit on how long a SCRIPT may run. [description lifted from tasks.cfg for a Unix client.] I am not a powershell programmer but I would be willing to give it a go if anyone thinks this is the right way forward? -- Andy ________________________________ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise confidential information.
