We FINALLY upgraded our BB installation to Xymon. Anyway, the console is working and showing data from the local server. I switched over a linux BB1.9 client and did a fresh install of BBWin1.3 on a windows box. I can see from a tcpdump that the updates are hitting the Xymon server, but there are no logs/data or updates on the display. So from a network perspective it is getting the updates, but it isn't recording or showing them. Process is running as 'xymon' File & Group owner is xymon all the...

Yeahyeah, year old post. Literal cut & past of your config. What doesn't work?

You say 'the files looked exacly the same', but have you done a diff between working configs from the past and your current configs? If they are the same then either your data communication garbles your messages in some way, or your xymon server or client installation is ready for a reinstall. If you haven't changed anything (i.e. OS updates, package updates, different MTA) then something broke. This can happen. You could build a new server with configs only for this one client, and direct that client...

I see some examples of monitoring filesize of mdate for unix, they work and I use them plenty. On Windows servers I cannot use 'ls -l' plus fancy commands to get the one newest file in a directory. However, this is exactly what I need, because I want to monitor a file with an ever changing filename, which includes a timestamp. I sort of had it working with a filename that did not change, but it seems the file is not being created as a new file every five minutes (even though I delete it before making...

As far as I can see in the sourcecode, the case and even the order in which the arguments are given does not matter. The idea is that you write a line in /etc/xymon/client-local.cfg with the file you want to check, under a header with the [SERVERNAME]. like (in my case) [SQLSERVER] file:C:\Temp\sqlAgent_Heartbeat.txt This line gets copied to (in my case) C:\Program Files (x86)\BBWin\tmp\clientlocal.cfg on SQLSERVER. This should be done by Xymon automatically, not by you. Restarting the Xymon process...

Unfortunately, this isn't possible due to data protection regulations. What would you look at in the files? Syntax failures? When it was still working, the files looked exactly the same.

Hi, we have the problem that some notifcations are partially delayed and repeated. The most alerts are in time. In notifications.log we can see the delayed and repeated alerts. A restart of the xymon service solves the problem a short time.

Ron Fancella posted a comment on discussion Help
Tom, Thank you so much for your response. I changed the case to lower and restarted the services. It has made no difference. I would imagine that if my settings are correct, there should be no difference between tracking size ad mtime. Can you tell me if I am missing anything in my config examples above? Thank you, Ron Fancella

Tom Schmidt posted a comment on discussion Help
I haven't tracked files by size, but have by mtime. According to the man page for analysis.cfg, the size argument should be lower case, not SIZE in all caps as you have here. Tom

Hello All! I have read and read as much as I can on the subject. I have used XYMon for many years and it has suited my needs. I have three XYMon Servers and around 20 XYMon clients. I have a process that deposits emails into a specific email box that should be promptly retrieved. Sometimes the process gets stuck and I would like to be alerted when that happens. No matter what I do, it never shows up on the XYMon server webpage. Here are my configs where mail.example.com is replaced with our actual...

I found the issue and am documenting it here for anyone else who experiences this. I looked at the data files and when the power went out the server logged a red event that lasted -20 seconds. This caused all future events to be ignored and the history only showed red even though the current status was green. I edited the data files and removed the negative sign which resolved the issue with the history.
-
Our location recently experienced a power outage and since then the history in Xymon is incorrect. In the main view everything is green, but in the history all sites have been red since the restoration of power. I have rebooted the machine, and updated to version 4.3.28-1.el7. If anyone has any suggestions as to why this would have gone from working normally to what it's doing now with no changes in config I would be very grateful.

Hello, I'm a recent migrant from BB to Xymon and things have been fairly smooth. Recently, I've noticed that the history page no longer is howing entries correctly. Or really, at all for that matter. I'd copied history from BB over to Xymon in the correct directory and adjusted permissions as needed. Xymon seems to have no issue with reading and writing to the files.

We used to run a pretty outdated Xymon server and I recently upgraded this to 4.3.28 (Ubuntu package). Our situation was that we have a noc website which showed our xymon page and our cacti graphs and serveral oher things which would all come from different webpages via en Apache ProxyPass configuration. Since the upgrade of our Xymon server we can no longer use the enable/disable options in the Xymon webinterface, this causes the error: Enadis POST that is not coming from self or svcstatus I have...

Hi guys, I upgraded some SUSE 12 SP3 linux servers to SUSE 15 SP1. As of Suse 15 netstat and some more network tools are deprecated, so for example netstat is not working anymore; this counts for more Linux distros. Is someone working on this issue? Herald ten Dam

Anthony Ruso posted a comment on discussion Help
Thanks for the reply. Yes i think it would be a useful feature. I do have ghost=allow configured and I add the hosts manually to the hosts.cfg file now.
-
Hi Jarek, This is a sign of missing tirpc header files. Installing your vendor libtirpc-devel (or similar) package should fix this issue. Ideally this would be auto-determined by the build system. Another option is to remove "-ltirpc" from the Makefile that has been generated after ./configure is run. Regards, -jc
-
Hi, I believe this message was responded to on the mailing list, but for posterity the normal method for doing this is just to modify your apache configuration. The default xymon.conf apache snippet does not specify an specific VirtualHost config, so any valid SSL configuration should be able to reach the /xymon/ server point. If this isn't desired, just wrap the xymon config itself in your VirtualHost definition. Regards, -jc
-
Hi, As mentioned in the other post, xymon can be configured to accept all incoming status messages (using the --ghosts= option for xymond -- see the man page). Xymon should be backwards-compatible with virtually all messages and all hosts.cfg entries except for HTTP checks using designated HTTP proxies (the syntax has changed there). If you do notice any issues with that, please let us know as that's probably a bug. Regards, -jc
-
Hello, For xymon 4.3, assuming ghosts=allow is configured for xymond, hosts not listed in hosts.cfg will be auto-generated and will be visible in reports (most notably, the non-green page. It is correct, though, that un-configured hosts will not be assigned on a normal page. Thus, if their value is all green, they won't be visible without searching for them. This may be a possible feature (a dynamic "ghost" page) for 4.4. -jc
-
Is there a way like BB where i can allow all new clients without having to add them all to the hosts.cfg file. My setup has many remote dchp clients that autoconnect to our BB server now and an entry gets created on first connect. In testing Xymon as a replacement it seems I have to add all these first before they will appear in Xymon. Thanks
-
Hi i have been using BB for a while and would like to migrate to Xymon. First question can the BB client be used with a Xymon backend and get all the same alerts? Also with BB my usage is a bunch of dynamic clients (remote) with DHCP IPs running the windows BB client. New hosts were configured to automatically connect over the internet to the BB server and the BB server would add them to the monitoring page automatically without having to edit the hosts.cfg file manually. Is there a way to do this...
