I followed a suggested fix in another thread (RHEL5 client compilation error xymon-4.2.3-RC1) on this list which fixed the compilation error.

Add the following to the Makefile after you run ./configure --client:

clock_gettime() settings

LIBRTDEF = -lrt

I've installed the client on a few test boxes and it appears to be working normally, I'm hoping Henrik will chime in to verify this is an adequate fix?

Version : xymon-4.2.3

When I install Xymon client from sources, the make step crash on following messages:

../lib/hobbitclient.a(timefunc-client.o): In function `getntimer':

/usr/src/xymon-4.2.3/lib/timefunc.c:67: undefined reference to `clock_gettime'

../lib/hobbitclient.a(timefunc-client.o): In function `gettimer':

/usr/src/xymon-4.2.3/lib/timefunc.c:55: undefined reference to `clock_gettime'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: *** [../client/bb] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xymon-4.2.3/common'

make: *** [common-client] Error 2

Bests regards,

I saw a couple of threads on this issue but I'm not clear what the best solution is. When I run a ping to a given host on the same network I see the response in very small ms response times but Hobbit 4.2 reports that they are from 20ms to 40ms. Another poster commented:

"It looks like the delays are coming from the usleep line in send_ping(); this looks like it was put in there to do some network/cpu throttling, which would definitely make the bbtest-net duration longer, but I'm not sure yet why it is affecting the icmp return times.

Running hobbitping with the flag "--max-pps=10000000" seems to fix things."

My question is -- Where do you add that flag?

Also, would it be advantageous to run fping instead of Hobbitping? How many of you are running fping instead of Hobbitping and why did you choose that?

Thanks, Jason

Fping on every server I've done. Just works.

Use fping. Most of us I think. Same reason why you are going to choose it. It is not production ready. Something much better is coming with Xymon 4.3 per Henrik.
