Hi Thomas,

Good day!

I am having the same issue, but the problem is that it is my Xymon server that is installed on CentOS that is displaying 'day' instead of 'days' when executing uptime command.

So all my clients' graph are not displaying after the time that you specified on your email.

Can you help me on how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Ryan

I had similar symptoms a while back running Xymon on SLES 10.1 (SuSE Linux).

The rrd graphs would display data for hours 0-24 after a reboot, no data for hours 24-48,

and then be fine again for hours 48+.

I determined that, when running under SLES, the uptime command returns the string:

'day' for uptime >= 24 hours && <48 hours; eg, 1 day

'days' for uptime >= 48 hours; eg 3 days

On the Xymon server, it appears the software is only looking for the string 'days'.

I modified the [uptime] section in ~hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh and added a perl

command to change ' day ' to ' days '.

echo "[uptime]"

uptime | perl -pe "s/^(.*) day (.*)/\1 days \2/"

Hi,

I switch to version 4.2.3 and I haven't see the same issue.

Thanks.

Hi,

I installed and configured xymon-4.3.0-beta2. Everything looks fine. But there is one strange thing beyond my understood. The rrd history chart disappears under tests/columns of conn, disk and memory after running 24 hours. But I can see these charts under column trends. No time effect to the tests/columns of cpu and my custom tests. These rrd charts will stay there as far as time goes.

If I add a new client, I can see these rrd charts under conn, disk and memory during the first 24 hours (or the first day).

Anyone sees the same phenomenon? Did I miss something in configuration?

Thank you in advance.

Ryan,

I don't have a CentOS system to test on.

I would expect CentOS to use the hobbitclient-linux.sh script too, so the fix described below should work for you too.

On the client, edit hobbitclient-linux.sh and change:

echo "[uptime]"

uptime

To

echo "[uptime]"

uptime | perl -pe "s/^(.*) day (.*)/\1 days \2/"

Hi Josh,

I did modify hobbitclient-linux.sh as you instructed but I think there's no change as I tried it manually.
