Hi everyone I am junior sysadmin at a college and after a few failed attempts I successfully installed Xymon. No errors appeared after running 'make' and 'make install'. At the moment I am trying to configure my web server(Apache/2.2.3 ) (which is located on the same machine as xymon) and I am following the instructions on the "installing Xymon" link (http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/install.html) but I can not really understand what changes I have to make. It says on the link that I have to make the necessary additions to the apache configuration in ~/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf. What lines do I have to add/change and where can I find this file? As you can understand my apache knowledge is limited, I only installed it so I can run Xymon. Could someone please help me? Many thanks Yanni

This is relatively easy to do in a script, but you would end up with a new test. Incorportating the time into the existing conn test is probably a task for the likes of Henrik et al.

I see this question has been asked on the list a few times, but I haven't quite gotten the complete answers from any of the old threads... so here goes:
I see that I get ping response time with my current setup. I appear to be using fping already, so that recommendation is covered. The trouble is, the data appears to be captured as a graph is being assembled using it. Is there really no way to use this data for alerting as it stands now? It appears as if more than 10ms in my environment represents a problem and that setting it at 10 would probably yield no false alarms, but I can see no way to turn red for any value other than a failed ping/dropped packets.
Thanks for any info you can pass along.

Hi everyone
Hi Yanni,
I am junior sysadmin at a college and after a few failed attempts I successfully installed Xymon. No errors appeared after running 'make' and 'make install'.

xymon-apache.conf is a file that contains all xymon directives (ie aliases to xymon, cgis, etc); if your http conf directory contains a httpd.conf.d, you can copy the file to httpd.conf.d/xymon-apache.conf and restart apache. you should be able to see the http://myserver/xymon/ page.
hope this helps.
Many thanks
Yanni
Yanni,
You need to include xymon-apache.conf file in your httpd.conf, it's location depends on the system you are using and on how the Apache server was installed ( from repository or compiled ) but before - make sure that xymonpasswd ( and probably xymongroups ) files are created. ( read the config file :) )
Actually - it is a good idea to understand syntax of Apache config files ( at least check directives used in xymon config on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ ) ...
Also, I have some notes on installing xymon in AWS ( amazon ) cloud that could be useful for you - http://www.abristech.net/2011/09/xymon-monitoring-from-cloud.html as well

Hi Alex Please allow me to mention what I have done so far. All xymon related directores (cgi-bin, cgi-secure, client, data, server, webpages, xymon-cgi, xymon-seccgi) are inside /opt/xymon. After searching about configuring apache online, I found out that in order for Apache to execute CGI scripts I need to edit the "access.conf" file by adding a section like this: <Directory /opt/xymon/cgi-bin> Options ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl </Directory> I did that. Next I read that I should create a special location called alias to the actual CGI directory and then edit my "httpd.conf" file and add the line below:
'ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /opt/xymon/cgi-bin/' I've done that as well. Next I followed your instructions on the link you send me. I run:
'htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/xymonpasswd admin' and entered password. I finally found "xymon-apache.conf" and copied it to /etc/httpd/conf.d/ but I am a bit confused about the 'sed' command. Is the directory at the end stops at 'httpd'? Many thanks Yanni
