[Xymon] hosts.cfg and alerts.cfg

*From:*xymon-bounces at xymon.com [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] *On Behalf Of *Raymond, David *Sent:* 16 mars 2011 13:48 *To:* xymon at xymon.com *Subject:* [Xymon] hosts.cfg and alerts.cfg

Hi all,

I use different way to manage my hosts.cfg file. I do include custom hosts file like this :

#Site

include ./site/hosts.cfg

In my “site” folder, I get more hosts again, and I set those like this :

include ./site/hosts-srv.cfg

include ./site /hosts-sap.cfg

include ./site /hosts-usine.cfg

include ./site /hosts-net.cfg

include ./site /hosts-ups.cfg

include ./site /hosts-lab.cfg

The issue is when I want to check in my alerts.cfg for page or subpage, all features are set in all hostname.

How can I fix this ?

Are you using the 'page' or 'subpage' tags in any of the files listed? 'include' is just a process of replacing the line which has the 'include [filename]' tag with the contents of the file specified. If none of the files contain a 'page' or 'subpage' tag, then all the hosts will appear at the top level in the host listing and will not have an associated page or subpage for use in alerts.cfg.

See 'man hosts.cfg'

You can list info about your hosts from the xymon server:

xymon <xymonhost> "xymondboard test=info fields=hostname,XMH_PAGEPATH,XMH_PAGEINDEX,XMH_CLASS"

See 'man xymon-xmh'

David.
