[Spong-users] SPONG GONE WRONG

[Nathaniel T. <nat...@ga...>]

Hello,

I have recently installed SPONG to monitor some of our servers. I  
installed it on Ubuntu (edgy) using the apt-get packages. I've been  
having some problems and was wondering if anyone could advise? I  
tried the forum archives, but got an Error 500, and the forum lists,  
but got an Error 404. Sorry.

The problem is this:
Though everything seems to be installed correctly (and I configured  
the spong.config, spong.hosts and spong.groups files correctly, as  
suggested) when I view the web monitoring panel (I also installed www- 
spong so I could use this), only the host column is displayed, and  
none of the services, if you get me. The example on the website shows  
a group listing table with a column per service and the status of  
that service. All I get is the group listing in a single column table.

Here are my config files (sensitive data switched out):
spong.conf.<server>
$SPONGSERVER="192.168.0.4";

1;

spong.hosts:
%HUMANS = ( # Leave this alone on this line
'root' =>    { name  => 'The local super-user',
                 email => 'root@localhost' },
'contactone' =>    { name  => 'contactone',
                      email => '<me>@<mydomain>.co.uk' },
);

%HOSTS = ( # Leave this alone on this line
'192.168.0.37' =>            {
                                 comments => ['This is Zeus. Be  
astounded at his superiority!'],
                                 services => 'ping: smtp http ntp ssh  
dns',
                                  contact  => 'contactone',
                                 ip_addr => [ "192.168.0.37",  
"192.168.0.38", ],
                                 },

);
%HOSTS_DEFAULTS = ( # Leave this alone on this line
);
%HOSTS_ALL = ( # Leave this alone on this line
);

spong.groups:
%GROUPS = (
'all' =>   { name    => 'All Systems',
               summary => "This groups contains all hosts monitored  
by spong" },
'GROUPNAME' => { name    => "GROUPNAME",
                   summary => "GROUPNAME Servers",
                   members => [
                     '192.168.0.37',
                         '192.168.0.38',
                   ],
                 display => 1,
},
);

Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Nathan
