Brothers,
I found that the information returned by
xymon 127.0.0.1 "hostinfo"does not honour tags by.default..Steps to reproduce:
root at pi3:/etc/xymon# egrep -i 'default|pi3' hosts.cfg 0.0.0.0 .default. # nosslcert 127.0.0.1 pi3 # bbd http://pi3/
root at pi3:/etc/xymon# xymon 127.0.0.1:1984 "hostinfo host=^pi3" pi3|127.0.0.1|bbd|http://pi3/
(note the missing
nosslcert-tag)Not using
.default.the correct set of tags is returned:root at pi3:/etc/xymon# egrep -i 'default|pi3' hosts.cfg 127.0.0.1 pi3 # bbd http://pi3/ nosslcert
root at pi3:/etc/xymon# xymon 127.0.0.1:1984 "hostinfo host=^pi3" pi3|127.0.0.1|bbd|http://pi3/|nosslcert
This makes
hostinfonot a usable source for getting the monitoring configuration for hosts or prevents the use of.default..All the best Thomas
Hi,
By default, 'hostinfo' does only show the specific entries for that host. I believe it could be reworked to walk through the included default config as well, though I'm not sure if there would be any side impacts there (I don't think so).
As a workaround for now, for a specific host you can issue a "hostinfo clone=<name>" request, which should actually include the .default. entries applicable to it. The output format, however, is one-per line. (This is the interface used by certain binaries when they're doing a one-off lookup for a specific host from xymond.)
