RRDtool include- or library-files not found.
Hi Jayanta,
I need to do ./configure inside the xymon login. am i correct?
No, not at all. The xymon account is only for the already installed system, not compiling.
It is odd that those rrd directories are not world readable, but anyway run configure and make as root.
The rrd.sh already has /usr/local/rrdtool* - that is enough, you don't need to modify the file at all. Try running as root.
cheers, Phil

Thanks for you reply. I tryed what you mentioned in the following mail. It is not working. I opened the file named "rrd.sh" which is present in the path "/home/xymon/xymon-4.2.3/build" and kept the "rrd.h" file path(/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.50/include/) and lib path (/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.50/lib/) as well. But problem is both the path we can not go via xymon login because both path belong to root privilage.

You need to ensure the headers are there, whereever they are: use something like rpm -ql rrdtool-whatever-it-is
If no headers there is probably an rrd-devel package - I'm not using redhat so don't know exactly.
Anyway the rpm -ql gives you the lib and .h locations. The file that does the rrd testing is ~/xymon-4.2.3/build/rrd.sh (as for pcre, ldap, etc)
In that file you can just insert the directory above where the lib and include directories are, ie /usr for /usr/lib64 and /usr/include
cheers.

Now i open the file "configure.server", but i can't understand where i need to assign the above mention path. Also where can i find the "rrdinlude" and "rrdlib" path.
Kindly help me out for the same.

Hi Phil,
Actually previously(very first time once i unable to do it via xymon login) i did like that what you said("./configure", "make" and "make install" for xymon-4.2.3 installation) need to do in root login. But problem is i am unable to show graph as well unable to active "conn" column(it is always showing white color).
Anyway once again i did same ("./configure", "make" and "make install") in root login only. Client and Server folder got created. I can able to connect between agents to collector server. XYMON Page is displaying properly, Everything is fine except "trends" graph is not displaying.
Kindly put some info regarding the same.
With Thanks & Regards, Jayanta.

Hi Jayanta,
Xymon is not a turnkey system, it is fairly complex (though well designed) and you will really need to learn how it works to be able to use it. You need to be able to interpret the config and log files or you will be constantly hitting issues, let alone be able to use its many features.
What I suggest is to delete any installation you have (the /usr/local/xymon, not the source stuff) and follow the documented steps
- http://xymon.org/xymon/help/install.html , in your case from where it say to run "make install". Go slowly and understand each part before moving on. For example, once you get it installed and running, it shows the xymon server on the main page. Try adding one non-production host without a client runing on it. Get some network tests working - first the conn, then say DNS, or FTP or whatever. Try turning the service off and see if xymon responds. Work out where the log files are, look at the entries for that host and look at the server logs to see how the host events are represented. Play around with the alerts subsystem and get that working with alert times, groups, etc. Add another test host with different services and see that it behaves as you expect. If not check out the logs and config files and get it working correctly. Get a feeling for how an event passes through the system. Once you are comfortable with these network tests, try installing a client on one of these test hosts and go through the same familiarisation process.
So the idea is to gradually build up a system that you fully understand, then you will be able to work out what is going wrong and you can fix it yourself. Otherwise you will just get frustrated and won't have a viable monitoring system
regards, Phil
