Hi all,
is there anyone that is using one script to check if root user is logged on Unix/Linux machines? Or is there anyone that is using "xymond_rootlogin.pl" and can explain me how to use it? Thanks in advance for the support.

Hi,
I have tried to use "xymond_rootlogin.pl" but w/o any result.
I have copied it in .../xymon/server/ext/ and I have added the following to tasks.cfg.
[xymond_rootlogin] ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/xymond_rootlogin.pl LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond_rootlogin.log INTERVAL 1m
After these actions nothing happens that is no result at all (neither new login test, nor xymond_rootlogin.log file).
Where am I wrong? Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to do with this test. Wouldn't it normally be run on each client machine you're checking? In any case, my guess is another logfile is logging something about it (maybe xymond.log -- I forget the names off the top of my head).

Massimo,
I'm unfamiliar with this extension, but all of the extension scripts I've worked work essentially the same way -- you install the client and then add them to the client as per the documentation. Rehashing the documentation is not something I'm planning to do on the mailing list, but I'm happy to help if you read it and something is unclear.

Actually, what you may be missing is that some external scripts are run on the server, or the machine doing the network tests (they tend to be scripts to test network services remotely). Most external scripts I think, however, run as part of the Xymon client (which is installed per machine). The internal tasks to check the disk space are an example, and any others that require commands to be run on each machine (as I'd guess this one does). It's in the documentation though.

The xymond_rootlogin.pl script is an example of a server-side external script. It runs on the server at a single point and listens to the incoming "client" stream. When it sees relevant data, it then fires off a "status" command with details about that test.
In this respect, it's identical to how xymond_client works, and an example of munging the raw data coming in in new and creative ways w/o having to modify the client reporter.
[xymond_rootlogin] ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/xymond_rootlogin.pl LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond_rootlogin.log INTERVAL 1m
Change CMD to CMD xymond_channel --channel=client $XYMONHOME/ext/xymond_rootlogin.pl
...and remove the INTERVAL line.
From the perl source, you should start seeing "login" statuses show up as soon as the clients next report in.

Actually, what you may be missing is that some external scripts are run on the server, or the machine doing the network tests (they tend to be scripts to test network services remotely). Most external scripts I think, however, run as part of the Xymon client (which is installed per machine). The internal tasks to check the disk space are an example, and any others that require commands to be run on each machine (as I'd guess this one does). It's in the documentation though.

Massimo,
I'm unfamiliar with this extension, but all of the extension scripts I've worked work essentially the same way -- you install the client and then add them to the client as per the documentation. Rehashing the documentation is not something I'm planning to do on the mailing list, but I'm happy to help if you read it and something is unclear.

What are you trying to do with this test. Wouldn't it normally be run on each client machine you're checking? In any case, my guess is another logfile is logging something about it (maybe xymond.log -- I forget the names off the top of my head).

Hi,
I have tried to use "xymond_rootlogin.pl" but w/o any result.
I have copied it in .../xymon/server/ext/ and I have added the following to tasks.cfg.
[xymond_rootlogin] ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/xymond_rootlogin.pl LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond_rootlogin.log INTERVAL 1m
After these actions nothing happens that is no result at all (neither new login test, nor xymond_rootlogin.log file).
Where am I wrong? Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I can't imagine it would be much different than any other external client script. What is the real question? What have you tried?

Hi all,
is there anyone that is using one script to check if root user is logged on Unix/Linux machines? Or is there anyone that is using "xymond_rootlogin.pl" and can explain me how to use it? Thanks in advance for the support.

Here's a stupid question...is the script actually executable by xymon? at the very least r-x------? (more likely rwxr-xr-x)
=G=
NB: cut the ever-growing, unnecessary quoted content...
Hi,
I have changed CMD line as suggested and it works now!
ROOT login active red ROOT login detected! root pts/0 Apr 18 10:22 (<... machine name ...>)
Thank you so much for your support.

IMHO, this script seems overkill, given what's now possible within Xymon these days. The "who" output is already available in the client data, and could be extracted and analysed server-side with something like:
#!/bin/sh
HOSTLIST=xymongrep rootcheck
for HOSTNAME in $HOSTLIST; do
WHO=xymon localhost 'clientlog name.of.server section=who"
[ "$WHO" ] || continue # skip hosts without [who]
if echo "$WHO" | grep "^root" >/dev/null; then
MSG="status $HOSTNAME.root red root logins detected"
else
MSG="status $HOSTNAME.root green no root logins detected"
fi
xymon $XYMSRV "$MSG
$WHO"
done
This just finds all the hosts.cfg entries with "rootcheck" present, and reports where "who" shows that root is logged in. This would be run from tasks.cfg.
Another way to do this, without having to create and maintain an actual script file, is to use backticks to create a virtual log file entry in client-local.cfg, like so:
log:exec 2>/dev/null; { grep '^$' /tmp/who.log >/dev/null && >/tmp/who.log || echo "" >>/tmp/who.log; } && who >> /tmp/who.log && echo /tmp/who.log:10240
This collects lines from a virtual logfile /tmp/who.log, that contains the who output. This allows you to monitor the who logfile with analysis.cfg, like so:
HOST=* LOG /tmp/who.log %^root COLOR=red TEXT="Root login detected"
This backticks scriptlet is a little complicated because it needs to make sure the virtual logfile size changes every time, otherwise Xymon's logfetch process might not detect any difference in the file and not report anything.
