Hi guys,
does anybody know, if its possible to make the "check columns" at the vertical and not horizontal? Its kinda of unhandy when you allways have to scroll to the left when you want to see all your checks.
Thanks, Cayo
nobody knows?

I do not believe it is possible in the current version(s) of Xymon. The Web page generation code would have to be redone in order to put hosts in columns and tests in rows. And it would only be effective in cases where you have more tests than hosts, which will only be true if you have a small monitoring system or if you are into heavy grouping.
Are all of your columns populated? Do you have more tests than you have hosts? There are strategies that you can use to reduce the column count so no scrolling is needed.

Thx for the reply Greg.
we are monitoring a medium network with +/- 200 Hosts. Some of the hosts have a lot of external scripts running and these hosts makes the webpage too large. One option is to isolate these hosts into a separeted group, but they are the principal ones and should stay at the main page.

Cayo,
Are you aware of the "all non-green" and the "Critical systems" views? The "non-green" view provides you with a condensed view of current problems across everything you monitor, and it reduces the column count. It also shows a list of recent transition events so you can see what you might have missed.
The Critical systems view is even more configurable but you have to take the time to enter information about each of your hosts and assign them the correct tags. If you take the time to do this you can provide another nice display that is somewhat tailored to show the importance of what is being monitored.
I generally watch the non-green view myself because it provides me "at a glance" status.
I know you were after something else, but I thought I might share these thoughts with you in case you are really searching for a way to show operators "what's important" and the notion of exchanging columns and rows was just a technique that you wanted to explore...

thanks again for the answer Greg.
you are right, these views are a way better then the normal one, because you only see whats wrong in your system. I usually use the "all non-green" view and Im happy with that. The "Critical systems" view seems to be nice, but I never took the time to lern more about it.
I was only looking for a solution to the people who likes to watch all hosts in the main view. I really though this would be easier, because I saw one "hobbit tunning" topic, where an user made an amazing GUI for hobbit, which is controlled by css.
Thanks anyway!

The email address it is sending from may not be what you need to send it to. The user part is probably right - that is an easy check.

You need to make sure that the reply e-mail is sent to the Xymon server. If you, for example, have xymon at yourdomain.com<mailto:xymon at yourdomain.com> as sender for alerts, you need to forward it to Xymon at xymonserver.yourdomain.com<mailto:Xymon at xymonserver.yourdomain.com> in exchange. You also need an MX record for xymonserver.yourdomain.com in DNS, and you need to configure the MTA on your Xymon server to accept mails for @xymonserver.yourdomain.com domain.

Ok, I finally got my xymon server to accept outside mail. Since I am using sendmail and the man page has procmailrc, is there a standard configuration to use with sendmail?
all my alerts send from xymon at example.net
( hobbitserver.cfg: MAIL="mailx -r xymon at example.net -s" )
any reply to it goes back to xymon @mx.example.net
mx.example.net then sends it to xymon.example.net, using .qmail.
xymon.example.net's sendmail allows inbound email only from mx.example.net using tcpserver on xymon.example.net
xymon on xymon.example.net then works w/ hobbit-mailack to ack the alert

Barring that (in my case, changing MX records and mail routing was not allowed), you can use fetchmail to pull mail from a valid account on your e-mail server and acknowledge based on that. I have done that before.

You only need to configure procmail according to the man-page, and it works out of the box.

Are you looking for a procmailrc example? I imagine there's one in the man page for hobbitd-mailack or whatever it was called (earlier in the thread).

You need the procmail package installed. You need
define(PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',/usr/bin/procmail')dnl
FEATURE(local_procmail,',procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u')dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl
in your sendmail.mc file (and regenerate sendmail.cf with make). Or if you're editing sendmail.cf directly, you need
Mprocmail, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=DFMSPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, A=procmail -Y -m $h $f $u Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, A=procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u
in there. I think having procmail enabled is the default with most sendmail installs, so it's probably already there.
Then according to the hobbit-mailack manpage you need in ~xymon/ a .procmailrc file with
DEFAULT=$HOME/Mailbox LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log :0 | $HOME/server/bin/hobbit-mailack --env=$HOME/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
Where in the sendmail.cf file would I put that?

I don't think it's position sensitive, you could put it at the bottom.

Is hobbit-mailack a binary? I don't recall.
In any case, it seems like the environment executing this program doesn't know about the library path. You're not running this from the command line, right?
What OS is this? "crle" might be an easier/better way to deal with this if it's Solaris (I seem to remember it being).
