Josh,

How would I test? From what I can tell, I have pcre installed:

Guys, he just said he had that (pcre and devel), and I see nothing that indicates he's missing pcre libraries. Further, it would have failed during configure. Let's try not to give bad advice.

I don't actually know what's going on here so I can't be more helpful than that unfortunately. Looks like maybe a platform-specific thing. I'd Google for the compile issues you're seeing -- often someone's solved it before, maybe for a different piece of software.

David: I'm curious, do you have an rpmbuild environment set up on the system? If so, would you be able to try to rebuild this SRPM on the box:

http://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/el6/xymon-4.3.12-2.el6.src.rpm

In theory all the BuildRequires are called out, so it should either a) work, b) indicate the -devel package that's missing, or c) die in the same way. It's possible there's an architecture-specific issue going on, but either way it might provide some insight.

The "client side" version behaves like legacy Big Brother in that settings for monitoring the client are made on each individual client, as opposed to the config files residing on the server. The client-side config version/build I've been told before is not well maintained (as in may have been broken by recent code changes). The reason for this is that for virtually all use cases, the server-side config client build is superior (who wants to log into 50+ clients to change their configs vs logging into one server to do the same)?

I didn't notice you were doing this before and suspect you'd be better off doing the server-side client build. Honestly, though, there are src.rpm's for this too which are also a better choice in most cases.

Japheth,

I'll give it a try and let you know.

It could very well be that the client piece is not compatible with a RHEL 6.2 z/OS port (this has happened before with other applications).

What puzzles me is that the server piece installed without issue.

I'll let you know what I find out.

Thanks,

Hi Josh,

It is RHEL 6.2 for z/OS.

The funny thing is, I was already able to install a server... my issue now is with the client.

Thanks

David

I don't actually know what's going on here so I can't be more helpful than that unfortunately. Looks like maybe a platform-specific thing. I'd Google for the compile issues you're seeing -- often someone's solved it before, maybe for a different piece of software.

I still don't think you're understanding this.

Xymon has the centralized server, which has a network component that polls other servers on network-related matters and the clients that report in on their host's local resources. That is true in all cases, and was true of Big Brother. What was added in Xymon/Hobbit or maybe somewhere in between is the ability to configure the alerting thresholds on the server side (analysis.cfg is it?) rather than keeping that information on likely a large number of client hosts, making changes tedious. This new way has been the default and preferred for some time. I don't think the client-side ought to be offered and broken, but I've heard it may be.

Hi Jeremy,

I just assumed that was the proper way of setting up Xymon. One machine playing the role of the central server while the others are the clients. I noticed that the server does utilize more CPU cycles, in my case they share CPU resources.

I will do the server side configuration instead.

Thanks,

David Diep

^^^

Any reason why you opted for client-side configuration instead of the (default) server-side aka central mode? I think if you build it with server-side config, it will work.

The reason it's failing is there seems to be a bug in the makefile creation that sets PCREINCDIR to "-l" instead of a valid directory or empty. You can probably get further with this:

$ make PCREINCDIR=""

But there seems to be other problems. So I'd recommend using server-side configuration.

You are still confused.

There is the server build, you only need one. Then there are two client builds. Our theory is the only client that builds is server side. You do NOT need to run a server on every client.

David,

The server and client are delivered in the same tarball. When you build the client you have a choice of where the configuration is done for that client. Local, or server. If you choose local, then you have to configure each client machine individually. If you choose server, then you configure your clients settings in one place on the server. There are reasons for either method, you'll figure out how you want to do this after you've worked with it for a while.

Ryan already said this, I'm just trying to clarify it a bit for you.

Did you configure it as a server or did you turn off "client side config"?

I’m not sure if that’s what I did, but I configured my second machine as a server. I then went to the first machine and changed the hosts.cfg and added both machines there.

It looks good… I can see both machines. Good start… I’ll start playing with the other functions now.

Thanks for all your help!

I think the only thing that is broken is the build process (makefiles, etc). If you make a client with server-side configuration (central mode) and then install it, you can still change it over to client-side configuration, and vice versa.

The documents are actually pretty good.

You would run ./configure.client and one the questions asked is:

Server side client configuration, or client side [server] ?

Accept the default of server to allow configuration to be performed in one place on the server, or choose 'client' to manage the configuration on each individual client.

Now, slow down, go read up on hosts, alerts, etc and enjoy :)

Thanks Tim,

Not making excuses, but I’ve only heard about xymon for a couple days, the documentation isn't very clear, so I apologize for any frustrating questions. Your explanation is pretty good... so let me understand this:

[root at vipservd xymon-4.3.12]# ls

build configure CREDITS include README.CLIENT xymond

Changes configure.client debian lib RELEASENOTES xymongen

client configure.server demotool Makefile rpm xymonnet

common COPYING docs README web xymonproxy

· “configure” is this local? Or do you have to specify “./configure --server” or “./configure --client” or “./configure”

· “configure.server” allows for client configurations as well as server configuration all on one machine

· “configure.client” this does not work very well

I did “./configure --server” on two machines. I see now that I only needed it on one machine and one machine only. All I need to do is update hosts.cfg, alerts.cfg, etc…

Right?

David,

The server and client are delivered in the same tarball. When you build the client you have a choice of where the configuration is done for that client. Local, or server. If you choose local, then you have to configure each client machine individually. If you choose server, then you configure your clients settings in one place on the server. There are reasons for either method, you'll figure out how you want to do this after you've worked with it for a while.

Ryan already said this, I'm just trying to clarify it a bit for you.

Ryan,

Sorry, I was confused with what you were asking. I only downloaded xymon-4.3.12.tar.gz

I did not bother with the xymon-client_4.3.12_amd64.deb… I assumed that it was meant for an amd 64 chip? I didn’t even think to give it a try.

You are still confused.

There is the server build, you only need one. Then there are two client builds. Our theory is the only client that builds is server side. You do NOT need to run a server on every client.

Might be time to RTFM, where it's explained pretty well (or at least made sense to me).

I configured it as a server, I wanted to try the “client side config”, but I just didn’t have any time today.

Maybe I’ll give it a try on another machine when I came up for air.

Jeremy,

Tim was very good with the explanation. I went and removed the previous configuration. I then configured it as a client:

./configure.client

./configure --client was what I originally tried, but for some reason that did not find the pcre libraries.

I'm good now... I have one machine configured as the server, with the client information. My second machine is configured only with the client.

Thanks for all your help.

"configure" is this local? Or do you have to specify "./configure --server" or "./configure --client" or "./configure" You can do any of these. When you run "./configure" it simply runs "./configure.server" for you. If you run "./configure --server" it does the same thing also.

If you run "./configure --client" then the configure script simply runs "./configure.client".

So there are several different ways to do the same two things. Running "./configure --client" is the official way.

You can also do the following, which ensures that it builds a client using server-side configuration, without being prompted about it:

$ CONFTYPE=server ./configure --client

•     "configure.server" allows for client configurations as well as server configuration all on one machine

  Yes.

•     "configure.client" this does not work very well

  This works fine, as long as you use "server configuration" (central configuration). If you use "client configuration" (local configuration) then you run into the compile problem.

I did "./configure --server" on two machines. I see now that I only needed it on one machine and one machine only. All I need to do is update hosts.cfg, alerts.cfg, etc... Yes.

The server build also has a client build included (a Xymon server should also be a Xymon client, so that it can watch itself). So another option is to manually copy the "xymon/client" directory from your server to any host you want to monitor, then just create the xymon user/group, make sure the "tmp" and "log" directories are writeable by this user, and create an init script to run the "runclient.sh" script.

Alternatively, after building (but not installing) the server code (./configure --server), you can do a client-only install:

$ make install-client

This will copy only the client parts of the install. You still need to create the xymon user/group and setup the init script for runclient.sh.

I agree that the main install doco is not as clear as it could be, and focuses almost exclusively on the server setup. However, there's a README.CLIENT file in the source that is a much better guide for installing just the client "agent".
