[Xymon] [Possible Spam] Re: [Possible Spam] Acknowledgements Report - No events acked in last 0 minutes

It is acknowledge.log, made a mistake in my reply. We are on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3

One thing we have noticed (and perhaps related to this issue) is that acknowledgements.sh is expecting a certain format for the ack logs and it simply doesn't match

From the code, we see it is supposed to look like this:

"2015-03-07 18:17:03 myserver disk andy 1 1425724570 1425752223 1425838623 testing message"

whereas in our acknowledge.log, we see

"1429794310 932040 1440 932040 np_filename_not_used host.msgs yellow Jobs reconfigured \nAcked by: user (127.0.0.1)"

Not the same amount of fields and using epoch time.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Andy.

Unfortunately, no change. Note that I did (and still do) have a working acknowledgement.log before, just the report is not yielding any data and seems to have an issue with a timestamp.

    Is the Acknowledgements Report working at the moment? I saw it
    was a new feature of 4.3.19.
    We have recently upgraded from Hobbit (2009) to Xymon 4.3.19.

    When I click on Acknowledgements report and select today, this
    week or this month for example, it goes to a blank page and
    always says :

    No events acknowledged in the last 0 minutes.

    Any ideas?

    thanks


Steve,

I cannot find where I read this, but in my tasks.cfg for the startup
CMD for xymond, I think I had to add :-

--ack-log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/acknowledge.log

if I didnt do this, the acks were not written to the log, even
though an empty log exists.

acknowledgement.log or acknowledge.log?? I see it is hardcoded to acknowledge.log (xymon-4.3.19/lib/acklog.c). What platform is this on? I have it working on Solaris 8, Solaris 10, RedHAT ES5 and RedHAT ES6.
