Hi,
I have these two tests in my hosts.cfg
page development development
xx.202.xxx.xxx JIRA #https://xx.202.xxx.xxx:8443/login.jsp
NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,conn
xx.202.xxx.xxx Stash #https://xx.202.xxx.xxx:8444
NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,conn
So, for grins, I wanted to make sure I'll get alerted so I changed the
port to some port not being used, like below:
xx.202.xxx.xxx JIRA #https://xx.202.xxx.xxx:4443/login.jsp
NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,conn
xx.202.xxx.xxx Stash #https://xx.202.xxx.xxx:4444
NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,conn
What is happening is that in the nongreen.html status window, the side bar
is not turning red but staying green but the little tiny faces went from
green to white and I did not get alerted.
It's as if you have "--ignorecolumns=http" or "--nopropred=http" for the
xymongen command, or something like that.
Below is what is in my alerts.cfg
alerts.cfg is only used when generating emails. It doesn't affect the
display. If you don't get a red/yellow then you won't get an alert.
Nothing you can put into or take out of alers.cfg will affect the display.
You could try running xymonnet manually with "--debug" and/or "--dump"
arguments. I would extract one host for testing, put it into a different
hosts.cfg file, and then point xymonnet to that file by setting
HOSTSCFG=/tmp/hosts.cfg or simlar.
Hmm. I notice you've suppressed conn messages from displaying (with
NOCOLUMNS) but you haven't included "noconn" to stop the conn tests from
taking place. I wonder if you removed "conn" from NOCOLUMNS, you might see
it going red. When a ping (conn) test goes red, other network tests go
clear. If this is the case, simply add "noconn" wherever you have
NOCOLUMNS:conn.
