Nice.

Only thing I do not like is the blinking 'green-recent' Green is good, and should not be so annoying... So I just copied the normal green one over it :) Not quite what I want either, but better than blinking.

I'd suggest having just a difference in brightness (tone) between green.gif and green-recent.gif. You want to be able to tell the difference, but it does not require attention.

If anyone else is interested, I've just submitted some new images for Xymon. I created them so that my manager takes me seriously when I do a presentation on the new monitoring solution. Smilies are amusing but aren't really applicable in a corporate environment.

Same thing on my side. The theme is nice, and seems to be more "corporate compliant" than original theme. But blinking green is horrible, my xymon page looks like a christmas tree :)

Hello all,

Great job Malcom, thank you!

...

Malcolm Hunter wrote Thanks for your feedback guys, you're not the only ones who mentioned that. I'll change the green one to a static bright LED.

And what about a "diamond" LED like for the standard theme?

Have a great day.

Øyvind,

Is there anyone who knows how to do a static compile of the xymon client? We have some production servers running HP-unix 64bit, and the vendor doesn't want us to install the compile environment and necessary requirements for compiling a client. We have tried to do a standard compile externally, but after copying, it fails to run due to some missing .so files.

I built a statically linked version. I found that I had to edit the Makefile in the client directory. LDFLAGS doesn't get passed to the linker.

I built a client RPM for VMware ESX 3.5. It has an older glibc than Centos 4.7 which was my build environment. The only binary that I needed to statically link was logfetch since it uses regex functions not in the earlier library, all the others still worked.

I think I found the solution. I have not tested the software yet, but the compiling seems good. The files is much bigger, and they are static linked:

file bb

bb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, statically linked, not stripped

The solution was as simple as I first hoped for. After running the configure script, I edited the Makefile. Adding the following line before last line: CFLAGS = -static

The reason why it didn't work the first time is since I had compiled from the same location before, I had to run touch on all .c files.

I have just installed a xymon server. This receives data from local client. I have an old bb-client on a second server that reports data to it. I have also installed a xymon client on another server. I see via tcp-dump on xymon server that it receives data from it, but I can't see the data anywhere. No indication in the logs either.

Any ideas why this data does not come into the xymon server?

Øyvind

Thank you! You are correct. The bb-client is sending with FQDN. The hobbit-client is reporting only its hostname, because when I created an entry in the bb-hostfile on the server without domainname, it worked. I found out that this is set by the MACHINEDOTS variable in the ./runclient.sh startup script on the client. So now I use it with domain name again. Only thing I find a little strange is that I could not see this in any logs on the server. It should be possible to see the servers that reports with a name that not matches the bb-hosts file. Probably I'm just not looking at the right place....

At my installation the hobbit-ghosts.cgi don't seem to work. It is probably related to that I compiled xymon someware else, and copied it to my server. I see that it reffers to the old path even if I can't find this configured anywhere. I tried to create a link named as the original xymon-homedir to the homedir on the correct one. Then the error message dissapared, but still it don't list any ghosts. The webpage is all blue (nothing black) and listing: Failed to retrieve ghostlist from server. I see after now that the hobbitd test have a list of Ghost reports.

Thanks again for your contribution. I don't have many time, so I submit a request, if you can't/don't want to do it, i'll try to take time. I think the colors are something good, but not enough. We should use a set of icons more easy to interpert : empty green circle : recent green full filled green circle : green blinking red cross (oriented like an X) : recent red red cross (oriented like an X) : red blinking purple "?" : recente purple purple "?" : recente purple Blue and purple are less important for me. What do you think about this idea ? May be the purple and red difference between recent and non-recent should be other than the one I described, but I can't get time enough to mind about it ;)

A recently red state should attract my attention, as well as a recent yellow state. But a longterm red state should practically be screaming at me and be as annoying as possible! Also a longterm yellow state should encourage me to make the problem go away. So all of these should at least have some form of blinking or movement to catch your eye, maybe slow breathing for the first 24 hours, then fast and at irregular intervals when they stay for too long.

[Cleaver, J.C.] Perhaps we're thinking too discretely on this. How about an SVG-generated (or pick of many pre-generated images) on a continuum of noticability? For example, a recently OK service could be based around a bright green -say, #00FF00- which slowly changes over the course of the next 24-48 hours to a #339933 icon (or whatever the background color is). Instead of simply "important" and "static" icons, let the display generator gradually modify the annoyance of a given problem.

Purple I have my doubts about. Of course it's bad when a check does

not

function properly. But at least to me, it basically only means someone forgot to start the hobbit/xymon client ;) I personally don't need much blinking annoyance here, but I may be missing out on something.

[Cleaver, J.C.] I agree that that's usually the only problem, but I think it's definitely something that should be given annoyance. In my experience, a "dead client" is often just waiting on something; caused by either a disk full condition, a hung NFS mount, or something else I do actually care about. But even if it died for no reason, that's still a "blind spot" in your monitoring and is IMHO dangerous.
