Monitoring HTTPS sites
I know I don't have any issues with blocked ports or anything. I think the SSL Libraries are still not configured. When I run (xymonnet --version) it still only shows my xymon version and no SSL libraries. I installed openssl and libssl-dev I am not sure what path to include when I run the ./configure.server command. When do I run the make clean? Jewel On 12/19/2012 2:58 PM, Tim McCloskey wrote:
The first thing that came to mind when I saw your re-compile message is that you did not run 'make clean' prior to adding those new options. That said, it sounds like you did get ssl working... If ssl is working now (xymonnet --version shows the ssl libraries, etc) then I would have a look at any network or server firewalls/acls that prevent your xymon server from --> yourclient:tcp 443. If you don't know about any rules you can try to telnet to port 443 on the client from your xymon server. There are also some certificate options that you may need to sort out once you can speak to the remote on 443.

What I mean is the status turns "red" and says "Server timeout." I am not sure is there are any logs which will help me determine what I am missing.

I ran: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev I also reran configure using the following command: sudo ./configure.server --pcreinclude /usr/inlcude --pcrelib /usr/lib --sslinclude /usr/include --ssllib /usr/include It found the SSL libraries and asked if I want to enable SSL and I said yes. I then ran Make and Make Install successfully. I then restarted Apache and Xymon but it still fails when I ask it to monitor a website using https.

The openssl-devel package mentioned by Paul contains the files that are often missing when people run into this sort of issue. The same thing happens when people don't install the various 'devel' packages.

Always reply all. Yes, that is different. We're talking Linux here. You don't specify, so we on the list are forced to guess. The openssl Linux package is just the executable. You need header files, etc. to be able to compile things to use it. -----Original Message----- From: Jewel Makda [mailto:user-f94a3a1b7030@xymon.invalid] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2012 1:12 PM To: Root, Paul Subject: Re: [Xymon] Monitoring HTTPS sites I do have OpenSSL version 1.0.1 installed.

I would like to be able to monitor some https sites but when I add the urls to the hosts.cfg file it fails. I am running the web console for my Xymon server over https. I am a newbie to linux so responses could be dummied down it would be greatly appreciated.
