Hello there.
I have installed xymon version 4.3.0.0 beta2 on Suse Enterprise 10. I want to use it monitor Oracle and Mysql databases. I have tried to use the *hobbit-perl-client* scripts but they all seem not to work at all.
Going to have to be more specific than that, I think, if you want some help. I have to imagine that they work for someone or they wouldn't be up there, so it's probably a config error. With that amount of information, however, I don't know what someone would be able to tell you.
Could anyone be having a *step by step manual* on installing the script and they help me out? Am really a newbie at scripting in linux. Why do most of deadcat scripts require bbdef.sh file which is missing in my xymon installation?
Because Deadcat.net is for BB scripts, not Xymon. Most scripts work with a little bit of finagling, but from a step-by-step perspective, that may be beyond the scope of this mailing list. If you're going to be running a Xymon installation, I have to imagine you'd benefit from learning something about shell scripting too as it will help you going forward.
As an aside though, I've found that Deadcat scripts tend NOT to need bbdef.sh -- I've been migrating from BB to Xymon and I have a half-dozen BB external scripts working. If you look at the manual where it tells you how to add an external script to the clientlaunch.cfg file I believe it's called, you see that an environment config file is called that provides most of the environment variables needed by Deadcat scripts. If they don't suffice, I'd imagine adding the additional ones would do the trick.
