Specifically for the client. It spends a bunch of time building, then comes up with this: Installation complete. You must configure your webserver for the Xymon webpages and CGI-scripts. A sample Apache configuration is in /usr/lib64/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf If you have your Administration CGI scripts in a separate directory, then you must also setup the password-file with the htpasswd command. To start Xymon, as the xymon user run '/usr/lib64/xymon/server/bin/xymon.sh start' To view the Xymon webpages, go to http://stnxymdev/xymon + mkdir -p /tmp/xymon-root/etc/init.d + cp /home/ptroot/localRPMS/SOURCES/xymon-init.d /tmp/xymon-root/etc/init.d/xymon + cp /home/ptroot/localRPMS/SOURCES/xymon-client.init /tmp/xymon-root/etc/init.d/xymon-client + mkdir -p /tmp/xymon-root/etc/logrotate.d + cp /home/ptroot/localRPMS/SOURCES/xymon.logrotate /tmp/xymon-root/etc/logrotate.d/xymon + mkdir -p /tmp/xymon-root/etc/default + cp /home/ptroot/localRPMS/SOURCES/xymon-client.default /tmp/xymon-root/etc/default/xymon-client + mkdir -p /tmp/xymon-root/usr/bin + cd /tmp/xymon-root/usr/bin + ln -sf ../lib/xymon/server/bin/xymon ../lib/xymon/server/bin/xymoncmd . + mkdir -p /tmp/xymon-root/etc/httpd/conf.d + mv /tmp/xymon-root/etc/xymon/xymon-apache.conf /tmp/xymon-root/etc/httpd/conf.d/ mv: cannot stat `/tmp/xymon-root/etc/xymon/xymon-apache.conf': No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.66715 (%install) So I went back and reconfigured for the server, and put the config in place.

What happens is that if a test fails during the specified time, it is reported with status BLUE instead of yellow or red. Thus you can still see when the service was unavailable, but alarms will not be triggered and the downtime is not counted in the availability calculations generated by the Xymon reports. Can someone confirm that this only works for red and yellow alerts but not for the purple ones? Can this behaviour be adjusted somewhere? Except for setting the status lifetime in the scripts of course.

I have BBWin installed on a Test PC and it reports to my Xymon server just fine. When I view the client on the Xymon Server, I have Client Data available at the bottom of my tests. This is same contents as the msg.&lt;hostname&gt;.txt in the tmp directory However, I have another system that I am testing on at this time, I can't install BBWin on, but I have a series of vbscripts that I am running that gather the same data and write out a msg.&lt;hostname&gt;.txt for that system. From what I have read and understand, I can use the BBwincmd.exe to upload that msg.&lt;hostname&gt;.txt to the Xymon server. For whatever reason, I can not get the client data to show up for this other system. I have compared the two msg.&lt;hostname&gt;.txt from each PC and the are basically identical in format. I have looked at BBWinCmd /? and I believe that BBWinCmd &lt;bbdisplay&gt;:&lt;port&gt; uploadmessage &lt;filename&gt; is the correct option, but the Xymon server never shows Client Data for the second host. If I have the scripts, run BBWinCmd status &lt;hostname&gt; &lt;test&gt; &lt;status&gt; &lt;reportdata&gt;, all the information displays on the Xymon server just fine. Can someone please help point me in the right direction?

I use FNPATTERN, but I want to have more control from the url because the graphs I want can change from server to server. As example, this is a graph with 4 filesystems: hobbitgraph.sh?host=serverA&amp; service=disk&amp; first=1&amp; count=4&amp; action=menu But I want to specify the filesystems I want to see: hobbitgraph.sh?host=serverA&amp; service=disk&amp; rrd=/,/home,/usr&amp; action=menu An other solution for my case is the possibility to overrule the FNPATTERN in the config file from the url. For instance, I want to change the FNPATTERN from [disk] so it only shows the filesystems beginning with /home: hobbitgraph.sh?host=serverA&amp; service=disk&amp; FNPATTERN=disk,home(.*).rrd&amp; action=menu The url's to the graphs are generated externally from xymon. I use the filesystems as example. I need this to group hdisk information on AIX per VG. Any thoughts?

That makes it time-consuming to find what I'm looking for. The text in the graphs is not searchable, of course, but there's no actual text on the page. Would I'd really like is to have a text label next to each graph, so that I can do a browser search for the graph I'm looking for. Even better might be a graph index at the top, to click down to the desired graph. While it would be nice, the text string doesn't have to be the text from the graph, just something consistent and sensible, such as the "ALT" text (eg "disk" or "la") which is essentially the stanza name in graphs.cfg (eg [disk] and [la]).
