problem with LOG and IGNORE in analysis.cfg
Hi,
I have a server running Xymon 4.3.4 with a pretty basic analysis.cfg:
DEFAULT
# These are the built-in defaults.
UP 1h
LOAD 5.0 10.0
DISK * 90 95
MEMPHYS 100 101
MEMSWAP 50 80
MEMACT 90 97
LOG /var/adm/messages %ERROR|WARNING COLOR=red IGNORE=TESTHowever, the IGNORE doesn't seem to work for the LOG line:
(xymon)@xymon:~$ /home/xymon/server/bin/xymond_client --test
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: hostname.domain.com
Hosttype []: sunos
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): log
log filename: /var/adm/messages
To read log data from a file, enter '@FILENAME' at the prompt
log line: ERROR this is just a TEST
log line:
Log status is red
&red ERROR this is just a TESTWhat's funnier is that the log lines that should trigger a red alert are turning out to be green:
(xymon)@xymon:~$ /home/xymon/server/bin/xymond_client --test
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: hostname.domain.com
Hosttype []: sunos
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): log
log filename: /var/adm/messages
To read log data from a file, enter '@FILENAME' at the prompt
log line: this ERROR should be red
log line:
Log status is greenAm I not using the LOG and IGNORE correctly in analysis.cfg, or is this a bug?
Thanks, Ray

I think your regular expressions are not right. Try runnign them through pcretest.
LOG /var/adm/messages %ERROR|WARNING COLOR=redIGNORE=TEST
I think that should be %(ERROR|WARNING)
[Raymond Lee]
pcretest checks out fine:
(xymon)@xymon:~$ pcretest
PCRE version 7.8 2008-09-05
re> /ERROR|WARNING/
data> this is an ERROR
0: ERROR
data> this is a WARNING
0: WARNINGAnd the man page for analysis.cfg has this example:
Example: Trigger a yellow warning on all occurrences of the word "WARN‐
ING" or "NOTICE" in the "daemon.log" file, except those from the "lpr"
system:
LOG /var/log/daemon.log %WARNING|NOTICE COLOR=yellow IGNORE=lprThis communication is the property of CenturyLink and may contain confidential or privileged information.

I am going to install Xymon on Solaris 10. Are there instructions on how to install Xymon on Solaris 10, what are the pre-requisites that need to be in place before the installation begins.
Is there a way to install xymon without root or is root a requirement?
I installed BigBrother 1.9 on solaris 9 and it was a grulling process in finding all the required libraries for the open source to be installed. Is the process similar to that for Xymon.
Are you installing xymon agents or server ?
I've compiled agents on Solaris 10 ( both x68 and SPARC ) without any problems ( if required using libraries from opencsw.org ) and had running server on OpenSolaris - also don't remember any problem with the build.
So the best way to figure out - download, try to compile and ask in case of issues :)

Server but I got them to give me red hat enterprise. So, I think that will be better.

This is obviously old (CentOS 5.1) but should apply very closely if not perfect short of the RPMForge package.
