Hi.
From the documentation around the xymonclient.cfg config file it is supposed to set up the environment for client-side scripts so that they can get hold of environment variables such as XYMON and XYMSRV (BB & BBDISP in Hobbit days)
I've just moved from Hobbit to Xymon and I am getting errors on the results of my scripts because the environment variables I used in Hobbit are not defined in Xymon.
I think the reason is as follows:
In xymonclient.cfg under Compatibility Settings, BB is defined here:
BB="$XYMON"
Earlier on in the file XYMON is defined here:
XYMON="$XYMONHOME/bin/xymon" # The Xymon client "xymon" utility
And looking further back XYMONHOME is defined here:
XYMONHOME="$XYMONCLIENTHOME" # Directory for the Xymon client files
But XYMONCLIENTHOME is not defined anywhere I can find in xymonclient.cfg, which means ultimately BB is not defined. Therefore I get the following from my Perl scripts:
Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"BB"} in concatenation (.) or string at ./CurlFile.pl line 144.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./CurlFile.pl line 144.
sh: 8: status Internet.Perf green Sat Sep 7 14:15:16 BST 2013 - OK
This string breaks the logic of the BB messaging and results in a RED alert on my monitoring.
I know that XYMONCLIENTHOME is defined in xymonserver.cfg as
XYMONCLIENTHOME="/home/xymon/client"
Am I right that I should define XYMONCLIENTHOME somewhere in xymonclient.cfg and that it should be the same as XYMONCLIENTHOME="/home/xymon/client" or is some other logic broken between xymonserver.cfg and xymonclient.cfg?
Cheers
Martin
