Interestingly, emails from my work address don't seem to be making it to the list...
Hey,
I'm at a loss here. I'm using the Terabithia RPM for my Xymon server and the links that are provided in emails only use the shortname of my xymon server. For example,
instead of
https://shortname.example.com/xymon
I've dug through the xymonserver.cfg file to see where this is being set and I can trace it to
XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # The name used for this hosts' webserver
where XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME is defined as
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="$MACHINEDOTS" # The hostname of your server. In the RPM, xymoncmd sets this before we get here
I have FQDN="TRUE" set as well.
Any idea where I can set this to give me the actual fqdn of the server? I'm assuming that 'xymoncmd' is just pulling in 'hostname' rather than 'hostname -f'. I must be missing something.
Anyone have any insight into what I may be missing?
=G=
$MACHINEDOTS should be being set in xymonserver.cfg, I think. In my installation (xymon-4.3.12) I have it the other way around:
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="server.domain.com" # The hostname of your server MACHINEDOTS="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # This systems hostname
And for some reason I don't remember, the WWW name is set explicitly:
XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="server.domain.com" # The name used for this servers' webserver

Yeah, I thought that was odd, too. I checked my old configs (non-terabithia) and they are set exactly like you mention. Are you using the terabithia rpms? I suspect it is something specific to those.

I knew there was something else...the disk tests are also picking up fake disks...like /run on my Centos instance. I've added an exclude but it still seems wrong.

Well, it's wrong until a really vital tmpfs partition fills up on you at 2am =/
This change is actually in 4.4 (Effectively excluding devtmpfs, but not tmpfs), but I didn't want to alter expectations in 4.3 -- https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7932/
I could see adding /run/ on some distros to an exclude list that are *very* unlikely to fill up, but it's more a matter of cleanliness than safety.

Mine is old-school, built from source. Everything's under /home/xymon, where I can find it... :)
I also have a xymonnet-only server running terebithia-4.3.12, which has the same format as the source-built. Maybe the variables switched around some time after 4.3.12?

Yeah, this was a change around 4.3.18:
From: xymon.CHANGES.terabithia
- On new server installs, $XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME will be set to the
MACHINEDOTS value
given by xymoncmd (which derives it from $HOSTNAME or
uname -n). $XYMONSERVERWWWNAME will be set to the XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME value.
I believe this was related to the migration of settings from wrapper scripts to xymoncmd settings, as how $MACHINEDOTS was needed to be inverted in systemd-land...
This *should* have been handled by the RPM upgrade process around this time... Not sure why it wasn't in this case :/

This was a fresh install (switched over when I replaced the old Centos 6 server). It started fresh with 4.3.27. Both hostname and uname -n provide the shortname.

Ahh, that'll do it then.
IIRC $HOSTNAME is used if available, but the uname syscall, followed by
a fork to uname -n itself, are then used to derive the local name.
Just modify XYMONSERVERWWWNAME by hand in xymonserver.cfg to whatever the external view of the WWW address should be and it should work.

Ok...adding to /etc/hosts made no difference. I had to set the hostname to the fqdn so it would get picked up by uname -a and hostname as the fqdn. Of course, I had to restart xymon server to get that picked up correctly (I always forget to do that).

Interestingly, emails from my work address don't seem to be making it to the list...
Hey,
I'm at a loss here. I'm using the Terabithia RPM for my Xymon server and the links that are provided in emails only use the shortname of my xymon server. For example,
instead of
https://shortname.example.com/xymon
I've dug through the xymonserver.cfg file to see where this is being set and I can trace it to
XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # The name used for this hosts' webserver
where XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME is defined as
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="$MACHINEDOTS" # The hostname of your server. In the RPM, xymoncmd sets this before we get here
I have FQDN="TRUE" set as well.
Any idea where I can set this to give me the actual fqdn of the server? I'm assuming that 'xymoncmd' is just pulling in 'hostname' rather than 'hostname -f'. I must be missing something.
Anyone have any insight into what I may be missing?
