Re: blank recovered sms alerts on mail

deepak deore — 2013-05-25T10:46:06

FORMAT=PLAIN is working, I am receiving the recovered messages on my
mobile. But that message is way long since it is not in sms format.

could you tell where should i look?

What does the "search" line in your "/etc/resolv.conf" file look like?

Re: Problem with NOTICE rule in alerts.cfg

Bill Arlofski — 2013-05-24T14:46:26


Hi Henrik... I commented out my HOST=* NOTICE rule and SCRIPT line back when
we had this conversation, but I neglected to leave myself a note in the
alerts.cfg file...

So basically, I went down the same path again today, when I found this old
thread in the list. Good thing I searched, otherwise it might appear that I am
becoming forgetful in my old age.  :)

In any case, I am only bothering you with this because I see you said " But
it would fairly trivial to create a module that triggered a message whenever
something was disabled."  and I am wondering if it is trivial enough to
actually bother doing.

Thanks...

P.S. See you again in two years. lol

trends problem with hosts

deepak deore — 2013-05-24T12:11:32

My hosts.cfg file has below entry.

1.2.3.4 server1.server.example.com #
http://server1.server.example.comCLASS:PRD_APP NAME:server1-prod

I can see the graphs on each page with no problem and on trends page as
well.

But when I want to see the graphs with Today, week, month etc. I see "no
such host", because on the url contains "server1-prod" instead of the full
name of the server.
I need to append the url with the full hostname and then it works fine.

Can anyone tell whats wrong and how can I fix this?

Thanks,
Deepak

Thank you kindly - this seems to have done the trick, in combination with me 
fixing a syntax error (status+2m turned out to be wrong).

Re: Disabling modules

Root, Paul T — 2013-05-23T13:29:33

If it’s purple then you did remove it. It’s no longer testing.

To get rid of it from the display , and history, you need to drop it.

Xymon localhost “drop 1.2.3.4 apt”

This is on the server. Obviously, substitute the hostname for the 1.2.3.4.

Where is the proper place to decide what tests are performed on every client?

there is no further rrd execpt the default tcp.conn.rrd,

Purple is an expired test. Whatever way you disabled apt, you did it after the server already received some status info. It appears your disabling was successful as the info is now stale. Now you can drop the stale data (see the xymon command, look for drop).

[snip]

Check if the .rrd-files have appeared in the ~xymon/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/ 
directory - if they have, then it's an issue of setting up graphs.cfg 
with the graph definitions, and updating the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS 
settings in xymonserver.cfg.

If there are no rrd-files, then your plugin-script has a problem.

Re: bbwincmd.exe status+[time] does not seem to work as intended?

2013-05-23T11:03:22

It should go purple, unless you have the host configured with the 
"dialup" keyword in hosts.cfg, or if you are ping'ing it and the "conn" 
status is red. If the latter case, then you can add "noclear" in 
hosts.cfg:

        noclear
               Controls whether stale status messages go purple or clear 
when a
               host is down. Normally, when a host is down the client  
statuses
               ("cpu",  "disk",  "memory"  etc) will stop updating - 
this would
               usually make them go "purple" which can trigger alerts. 
To avoid
               that, Xymon checks if the "conn" test has failed, and if 
that is
               true then the other tests will go "clear" instead of  
purple  so
               you  only  get  alerts  for  the "conn" test. If you do 
want the
               stale statuses to go purple, you can use the  "noclear"  
tag  to
               override this behaviour.

Henrik

Hi !

I've got the FibreAlliance-pluggin successfully running,
but unfortunately without trend/performanece data

but should be there, isn't it ?

ext/fibrealliance.sh

# Update the column status
# status hostname testname color message
status()
{
         hostname=`echo "$1"|tr . ,`
         $BB $DISPLAY "status $hostname.$2 $3 `date`
$4
"
}

# Send performance data separately for better control
# trends rrdfile hostname data
trends()
{
         hostname=`echo "$1"|tr . ,`
         $BB $DISPLAY "data $hostname.trends
[$2.rrd]
$3
"
}


Any hint is welcome, how i've got data into the trend-page :-)


thanks & cheers

Re: blank recovered sms alerts on mail

deepak deore — 2013-05-23T09:41:46

Server OS is Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/mail
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/mail.

This is a symlink so dpkg -S not showing the result. So checked the actual
file which shows that mailutils owns this file. And MTA I am using is
postfix.

$ ls -l /usr/bin/mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 13 09:39 /usr/bin/mail ->
/etc/alternatives/mail
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan 13 09:39 /etc/alternatives/mail ->
/usr/bin/mail.mailutils
$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/mail.mailutils
mailutils: /usr/bin/mail.mailutils

I am getting the RECOVERED mails properly but the SMS alerts on mobiles are
blank which are in FORMAT=sms. I havent tried FORMAT=PLAIN, will give a try.

bbwincmd.exe status+[time] does not seem to work asintended?

Joost Hillen — 2013-05-23T07:54:44

Hi there,

I've been trying to setup a test I call 'alive', which sends out a green 
signal every 1 minute, with a keep-alive time of 2 minutes.

This means, that if the server stops sending this signal twice, there will be 
a purple status.

Well, in theory anyway. I have not been able to get this working properly.

I use the following:

bbwincmd.exe [xymon server] status+2m [hostname] alive green "Last signal 
received at %time% on %date%"

This does send a green status every minute, but when I manually stop the 
script from being executed, the status becomes grey instead of purple.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Kind regards,

Joost Hillen

Re: blank recovered sms alerts on mail

Jeremy Laidman — 2013-05-23T07:49:08

What's the OS that Xymon is running on?

What mail system runs on the Xymon server?

Xymon will probably execute the binary /usr/bin/mail.  What is
/usr/bin/mail?  Is it mailx or mutt or something else?  On
RedHat/Fedora/Centos/SUSE you can type "rpm -qi -f /usr/bin/mail" to find
out.  On Debian-based systems, try "dpkg -S /usr/bin/mail" to get the
package name, and "dpkg -s <pkgname>" to get the details.  From the error
message you gave, I suspect it is mailx.

Have you tried with FORMAT=PLAIN?

You could try setting MAIL and MAILC to use nail or mutt rather than mailx,
if you have them installed, something like this:

MAILC="/usr/bin/nail"

Some folks have had problems with mailx not liking carriage-return
characters.  Using nail should fix this, but this might also work:

MAILC="/usr/bin/tr -d '\\015' | mail"
