Greetings,

I'm looking through the Debian and RPM Xymon-client distributions and I can't seem to find the best place to define CONFIGCLASS to match up with "[class=<expression>]" in client-local.cfg on the Xymon server. Or is it preferred to define CLASS:Classname in the hosts.cfg file?

Both distributions set: CONFIGCLASS="$SERVEROSTYPE" # Default configuration class for logfiles

However with both distributions, clients show up as "fubar.linux linux" in clientlog on Xymon.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage the client-local.cfg file for those distributions since the default log files are different:

Debian/Ubuntu: $ egrep -v "^#|^$" /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog kern.* -/var/log/kern.log mail.* -/var/log/mail.log mail.err /var/log/mail.err *.emerg :omusrmsg:*

RPM/RedHat: $ egrep -v "^#|^$" /etc/rsyslog.conf *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages authpriv.* /var/log/secure mail.* -/var/log/maillog cron.* /var/log/cron *.emerg :omusrmsg:* uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler local7.* /var/log/boot.log local0,local1.* /var/log/localmessages local2,local3.* /var/log/localmessages local4,local5.* /var/log/localmessages local6,local7.* /var/log/localmessages

I'm guessing it should go in: Debian: /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client RPM:/etc/sysconfig/xymon-client

Here's where I've looked:

Debian/Ubuntu: /etc/init.d/xymon-client:# Include xymon-client defaults if available /etc/init.d/xymon-client:if [ -f /etc/default/xymon-client ] ; then /etc/init.d/xymon-client: . /etc/default/xymon-client /etc/init.d/xymon-client:export XYMONSERVERS XYMONCLIENTHOME CLIENTHOSTNAME MACHINE MACHINEDOTS CLIENTOS

/etc/sysconfig/xymon-client does not have a reference to $SERVEROSTYPE. Only XYMONSERVERS,CLIENTHOSTNAME,CLIENTOS

/etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg:include /etc/default/xymon-client /etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg:include /var/run/xymon/bbdisp-runtime.cfg /etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg:CONFIGCLASS="$SERVEROSTYPE" # Default configuration class for logfiles

/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient.sh:echo "client $MACHINE.$SERVEROSTYPE $CONFIGCLASS" >> $MSGTMPFILE

RPM/RedHat: /usr/lib/systemd/system/xymonlaunch.service:EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/xymonlaunch /usr/lib/systemd/system/xymonlaunch.service:EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/xymonlaunch /usr/lib/systemd/system/xymonlaunch.service:ExecStart=/usr/bin/xymoncmd /usr/sbin/xymonlaunch --no-daemon $XYMONLAUNCHOPTS

/etc/sysconfig/xymon-client does not have a reference to $SERVEROSTYPE. Only XYMONSERVERS,CLIENTHOSTNAME,CLIENTOS

/etc/xymon-client/xymonclient.cfg:include /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client /etc/xymon-client/xymonclient.cfg:CONFIGCLASS="$SERVEROSTYPE" # Default configuration class for logfiles
