Hi all,
Another one of those things I keep meaning to ask but keep on forgetting... I'm seeing under the xymond column the following:
Multi-source statuses xymon.url.com:cpu reported by 127.0.0.1 and xx.xxx.226.227 xymon.url.com:disk reported by 127.0.0.1 and xx.xxx.226.227 xymon.url.com:files reported by 127.0.0.1 and xx.xxx.226.227 xymon.url.com:inode reported by 127.0.0.1 and xx.xxx.226.227 xymon.url.com:memory reported by 127.0.0.1 and xx.xxx.226.227 xymon.url.com:msgs reported by 127.0.0.1 and xx.xxx.226.227 xymon.url.com:ports reported by 127.0.0.1 and xx.xxx.226.227 xymon.url.com:procs reported by 127.0.0.1 and xx.xxx.226.227 xymon.url.com:uptime reported by 127.0.0.1 and xx.xxx.226.227
Looking through the archive it makes sense, Xymon is receiving data from two sources, which I guess it is, however the two IPs are localhost and the server IP address.
I'm guessing this is likely to do with how the things are setup on the server rather than Xymon itself (eg in /etc/hosts)?
Can someone point me in the right direction to resolve this? I'm running Xymon 4.3.28
Cheers

It appears that the Xymon server is reporting to itself twice, using its network IP address and the loopback address. The Xymon client that generates the client data messages (from where these metrics come) will use the $XYMSRV environment variable, and send to whatever IP address is defined therein. Sometimes this is set to "0.0.0.0" which tells the Xymon client to look at $XYMSERVERS as a list of multiple destinations. I suspect you have XYMSERVERS="127.0.0.1 xx.xxx.226.227". On a Xymon server these variables are is set in xymonserver.cfg.

That makes a lot of sense indeed, Checking xymonserver.cfg however seems to be correct:
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="my.xymon.url" XYMONSERVERIP="**.***.226.227" XYMONSERVEROS="linux" XYMSRV="$XYMONSERVERIP"
I don't actually see XYMSERVERS in the xymonserver.cfg though

The xymon server starts the xymon client on that machine.
Do you possibly start xymonclient separately as well?

I do have a few custom scripts in my tasks.cfg, nothing that would really affect it though I wouldn't think..
"storestatus" saves status-logs in text- and html-format, like the old
Big Brother
daemon does. Unless you are using add-ons that directly access the
log-files, you
will not need to run this module, and it is recommended that you keep it
disabled /usr/local/xymon/server/bin/xymoncmd /usr/local/xymon/server/ext/wpscan.sh# since storing the raw logs on disk can cause a significant load on your server. [storestatus] DISABLED ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD xymond_channel --channel=status --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/status.log xymond_filestore --status --html
"storedata" saves information sent using the BB "data" protocol, like the
old Big Brother
daemon does. Unless you are using add-ons that directly access the
data-files, you
will not need to run this module, and it is recommended that you keep it
disabled
since storing the raw data on disk can cause a significant load on your
Xymon server.
RRD graphs uses data-files, but since RRD is handled by the xymond_rrd
module, you do
not need to run the "storedata" module to get RRD graphs.
[storedata] DISABLED ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD xymond_channel --channel=data --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/data.log xymond_filestore --data
"storeenadis" updates the files used to indicate that a host or test has
been enabled or disabled.
Unless you are running server side scripts that look at these files, you
do not need this. [storeenadis] DISABLED ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD xymond_channel --channel=enadis --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/enadis.log xymond_filestore --enadis
"storenotes" saves web note-files, that are sent using the BB "notes"
protocol. This is
disabled by default; if you use the Big Brother "notes" protocol, then
you should enable this. [storenotes] DISABLED ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD xymond_channel --channel=notes --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/notes.log xymond_filestore --notes

Looking through the archive it makes sense, Xymon is receiving data from two sources, which I guess it is, however the two IPs are localhost and the server IP address.
I'm guessing this is likely to do with how the things are setup on the server rather than Xymon itself (eg in /etc/hosts)?
Can someone point me in the right direction to resolve this? I'm running Xymon 4.3.28
It appears that the Xymon server is reporting to itself twice, using its network IP address and the loopback address. The Xymon client that generates the client data messages (from where these metrics come) will use the $XYMSRV environment variable, and send to whatever IP address is defined therein. Sometimes this is set to "0.0.0.0" which tells the Xymon client to look at $XYMSERVERS as a list of multiple destinations. I suspect you have XYMSERVERS="127.0.0.1 xx.xxx.226.227". On a Xymon server these variables are is set in xymonserver.cfg.

Just taking another look at this now and I think I may have found the issue.
On the server performing a locate xymonclient.cfg results in two versions of the file in the following locations: /etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg /usr/local/xymon/client/etc/xymonclient.cfg
The first in the list (/etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg) contains the following at the top: # Environment settings for the Xymon client. include /etc/default/xymon-client
So, if I look at the include referenced (/etc/default/xymon-client) # Environment settings for the Xymon client. XYMONSERVERS="127.0.0.1"
Looking at the second in the list ( /usr/local/xymon/client/etc/xymonclient.cfg) # Environment settings for the Xymon client. XYMSRV="34.251.226.227" XYMSERVERS=""
So, it looks like I have two clients sending info about the server to the server? Any idea which I should remove?

At first glance, I would say you have both the RPM and the source compiled versions installed and running. Personally, I would go with the RPMs unless there are specific compile-time needs. It might be worth backing up your configs and re-installing.

Yeah, I think I have some idea what has happened. I think possibly this is to do with having the hobbit-plugins add ons installed, I have a vague memory of having an issue installing these through apt due to having a latest build of xymon (ie not from apt repos), so I think somewhere along the way the client also got installed through apt, even though it was build from source with the server.
I will remove the apt version I think, providing it doesnt kill the hobbit plugins. Will update as I go...

Right so,
I have solved the issue by uninstalling the client through apt, which of course removed hobbit-plugins. Now I have no warnings on the multi-source statuses, though I now only get the default monitors, we do use the additions from the hobbit-plugins package.
If I build the server manually to get the latest version of the server software, this builds the client also. However to have hobbit-plugins working, I need to install this through apt which enforces the xymon-client package as a requirement.
Is it possible to build the xymon server without the client?
If not, is it possible (and how) do I install the hobbit-plugins packages manually?
Cheers
