Hello List,
I'm rather familiar with BigBrother but new to Xymon.
My Xymon server 4.2.3 runs on CentOS and my monitored nodes are a mix of Solaris, Windows, Cisco, and NetApp hosts.
Q1. Is there a way to avoid the Solaris 10 virtual filesystems (i.e./etc/dfs/sharetab) from being listed/graphed in the disk test? (possibly via conf setting on the Xymon client, rather than on the server)
Also, the web page shows seven filesystems, whereas the RRD graphs show nine of them... (those 7 plus /devices and /var/run). How do I get rid of them?
Q2. I manage to monitor NFS mounted filesystems (from a NetApp filer) via an external script from deadcat.net, but is there a way to get them show up in the disk test/column? This way I get to: a. save a column ;-) b. have all the filesystems shown under one roof c. have NFS filesystems automagically graphed
Q3. Is there a functionality similar to the BB www/notes html files, and a template that matches the current xymon fonts/style? Or, where can I add custom info about my monitored nodes? I.e. serial numbers, helpdesk contacts, etc...
Q4. I have had to enable ftp on one Solaris 10 box to allow it to just ftp itself (don't ask!), and therefore I configured /etc/hosts.allow as follows:
[actarus]$ grep ftp /etc/hosts.allow in.ftpd: actarus [actarus]$
Now, on the bb-hosts on the Xymon server, if I put: 10.11.12.13 actarus # http://actarus/ ssh !telnet !ftp !smtp it gets RED, telling me that FTP is up and if I put 10.11.12.13 actarus # http://actarus/ ssh !telnet ftp !smtp# it gets YELLOW with the following message:
Service ftp on actarus is not OK : Unexpected service response
In fact, if I ftp actarus from the Xymon server cli, I get:
$ ftp actarus Connected to actarus.boing.com. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection ftp> quit $
Is there a way around this?
Thank in advance for your help
Loris
