Changing the default xymon port

You probably want the SERVER to listen to port 1985 too...
[bb at iris etc]$ pwd /usr/local/xymon/server/etc [bb at iris etc]$ grep 198 hobbitserver.cfg BBPORT="1985" # Portnumber where hobbitd/bbd listens

Hi,
I'm running Hobbit server version 4.3.0-0.beta2 on Solaris 10 X86. I'm running Hobbit client version 4.3.0-0.beta2 on Solaris 9 SPARC. Currently we have a BB server running on port 1984 To test and migrate to Xymon I tried to run Xymon on port 1985 But it doesn't seem to work.
It uses default 1984 even though I specify port 1985.

Hello all,
Did anyone build an initscript for Suse 11.x for the Xymon Server? Unfortunally the Debian Scripts are a little bit different from the Suses Way.
If not, we'll try to make one.
Thanks

I use CentOS and just made the init script call hobbit.sh as the xymon user. Seems to work perfectly. Apart from the chkconfig commented section it's a one-liner.

please mind my not standard installation of xymon in /opt/monitor/xymon. This requires some editing.
You can install it using insserv or chkconfig:

From your script:
start() { # Check if xymon is already running echo -n $"Starting $prog: " su - xymon -c "/opt/monitor/xymon/server/hobbit.sh start" su - xymon -c "/opt/monitor/xymon/client/runclient.sh start" }
Isn't the Xymon client configured to start from your hobbitlaunch.cfg then?

Ah, slightly different to CentOS/Redhat - with those you don't need the "Starting Xymon" / "Stopping Xymon" as these are displayed anyway.
What's the reason for changing directory? What's rc_status in this context? Is there a reason for not using "./hobbit.sh restart" instead of "stop / start"?

I just 'borrowed' another script and tailored it to work the way I needed. As to the display of messages at boot time, I don't recall checking if they come out without the echo statements. I've been using this script for several years.

- cd? hobbit.sh lives in $HOME/server
- rc_status? I don't know.
- hobbit.sh restart? Because at boot time I want Xymon to start (./hobbit.sh start) and at shutdown I want xymon to stop (./xymon.sh stop).

Hi all, I have a ext script that runs on the central hobbit server and reports NTP offsets for all clients.
It outputs to a column called ntp and looks like:
Tue Jan 26 10:01:12 CST 2010
NTP Info (/usr/sbin/ntptrace -n ip_addr) NTP server is up OK Clock Offset: (-0.000296)
Ip_addr: stratum 2, offset -0.000296, synch distance 0.035976
So I added ntp=ncv to TEST2RRD and ntp to GRAPHS and added the line NCV_ntp="Offset:GAUGE,*:NONE" in the hobbitserver.cfg
I also created a graph entry in hobbitgraph.cfg, see definition below: [ntp] TITLE NTP accuracy YAXIS Offset (us) DEF:offset=ntp.rrd:Offset:AVERAGE LINE2:Offset#FF0000:Offset (us) COMMENT:\n GPRINT:Offset:LAST: \: %7.6lf us (cur)\n GPRINT:Offset:MAX: \: %7.6lf us (max)\n GPRINT:Offset:MIN: \: %7.6lf us (min)\n GPRINT:Offset:AVERAGE: \: %7.6lf us (avg)\n
and then I restarted hobbit.
The problem is, I'm not getting any RRDs. I see the graph link on the page, but with a white box and red x, meaning no graph to display. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I'm doing wrong regarding getting this data to dump to an rrd file?
Thanks, Taylor

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I'm doing wrong regarding getting this data to dump to an rrd file? In the RRD you refer to Offset, while there is no such name in the status message. Moreover, the value is written between parenthesis. In the manpage it says:
The "ncv" module will automatically detect all occurrences of a "NAME : value" or "NAME = value" string in a status message, and generate an RRD file holding all of the name/value data found in the message. The colon- or equal-sign must be present - if there is only whitespace, this module will fail.
In case of NCV, I replace all occurrances of ":" and "=" by ":" respectively "=". It wil give you more freedom in formatting the status message, without NCV misinterpreting it as a value to be recorded. You could place the actual value in HTML comment, causing it not to be shown. Rewriting the message above results in:
Tue Jan 26 10:01:12 CST 2010
NTP Info (/usr/sbin/ntptrace -n ip_addr) NTP server is up OK

Thanks for the suggestion, I will test that. I got the graphs and rrd files to show up, but what is odd is that the graphs have exactly one entry, and one data point on them, and they haven't updated the graph lines or graph values, but a strings of the rrd file shows that the data is up to date.
Don't know where to go on this, rrd file being updated, graphs exist, but graph lines themselves are no longer being updated...

Thanks for the suggestion, I will test that. I got the graphs and rrd files to show up, but what is odd is that the graphs have exactly one entry, and one data point on them, and they haven't updated the graph lines or graph values, but a strings of the rrd file shows that the data is up to date.
Don't know where to go on this, rrd file being updated, graphs exist, but graph lines themselves are no longer being updated...

Hi all, I have a ext script that runs on the central hobbit server and reports NTP offsets for all clients.
It outputs to a column called ntp and looks like:
Tue Jan 26 10:01:12 CST 2010
NTP Info (/usr/sbin/ntptrace -n ip_addr) NTP server is up OK Clock Offset: (-0.000296)
Ip_addr: stratum 2, offset -0.000296, synch distance 0.035976
So I added ntp=ncv to TEST2RRD and ntp to GRAPHS and added the line NCV_ntp="Offset:GAUGE,*:NONE" in the hobbitserver.cfg
I also created a graph entry in hobbitgraph.cfg, see definition below: [ntp] TITLE NTP accuracy YAXIS Offset (us) DEF:offset=ntp.rrd:Offset:AVERAGE LINE2:Offset#FF0000:Offset (us) COMMENT:\n GPRINT:Offset:LAST: \: %7.6lf us (cur)\n GPRINT:Offset:MAX: \: %7.6lf us (max)\n GPRINT:Offset:MIN: \: %7.6lf us (min)\n GPRINT:Offset:AVERAGE: \: %7.6lf us (avg)\n
and then I restarted hobbit.
The problem is, I'm not getting any RRDs. I see the graph link on the page, but with a white box and red x, meaning no graph to display. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I'm doing wrong regarding getting this data to dump to an rrd file? In the RRD you refer to Offset, while there is no such name in the status message. Moreover, the value is written between parenthesis. In the manpage it says:
The "ncv" module will automatically detect all occurrences of a "NAME : value" or "NAME = value" string in a status message, and generate an RRD
file holding all of the name/value data found in the message. The colon-
or equal-sign must be present - if there is only whitespace, this module
will fail.
In case of NCV, I replace all occurrances of ":" and "=" by ":" respectively "=". It wil give you more freedom in formatting the status message, without NCV misinterpreting it as a value to be recorded. You could place the actual value in HTML comment, causing it not to be shown. Rewriting the message above results in:
Tue Jan 26 10:01:12 CST 2010
NTP Info (/usr/sbin/ntptrace -n ip_addr) NTP server is up OK
Ip_addr: stratum 2, offset -0.000296, synch distance 0.035976
<!-- Offset : -0.000296 -->

Hello all,
Did anyone build an initscript for Suse 11.x for the Xymon Server? Unfortunally the Debian Scripts are a little bit different from the Suses Way.
If not, we'll try to make one.
Thanks
Ralf

My manual test still didn't work. The manual test fault was because the hobbitclient.cfg don't exportvariables and so didn't get the BBPORT setting. Just a simple "export BBPORT=1985" made the trick.
Or like I said, specify the port as well as the IP address on the command line:
bin/bb --debug 192.168.34.72:1985 test
