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)
The hobbitclient-sunos.sh script in ~xymon/client/bin/ does some work to filter out the not-so-interesting filesystems. You can tweak that shell-script to do what you want - if it makes sense to ignore them everywhere, then please send me your modifications.
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?
Delete the corresponding ~xymon/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/disk,<whatever>.rrd files.
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...
Xymon supports the same notes-files as BB. So just put the notes-files in ~xymon/server/www/notes/
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?
The best way would probably be to copy the [ftp] section in the ~xymon/server/etc/bb-services file and create a new entry that expects the "421" response - you would have to call it something other than ftp, though.
