Xymon Digest, Vol 8, Issue 20

Hi everyone
 
I am junior sysadmin at a college and after a few failed attempts I successfully
installed Xymon. No errors appeared after running 'make' and 'make install'.
 
At the moment I am trying to configure my web server(Apache/2.2.3 ) (which is
located on the same machine as xymon) and I am following the instructions on the
"installing Xymon" link (http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/install.html) but I can
not really understand what changes I have to make. It says on the link that I
have to make the necessary additions to the apache configuration in
~/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf. What lines do I have to add/change and where can
I find this file?
 
As you can understand my apache knowledge is limited, I only installed it so I
can run Xymon. Could someone please help me?
 
Many thanks
Yanni

This is relatively easy to do in a script, but you would end up with a new
test.
Incorportating the time into the existing conn test is probably a task for
the likes of Henrik et al.

Anyone have any experience with this at all?

I see this question has been asked on the list a few times, but I
haven't quite gotten the complete answers from any of the old threads...
so here goes:

I see that I get ping response time with my current setup. I appear to
be using fping already, so that recommendation is covered. The trouble
is, the data appears to be captured as a graph is being assembled using
it. Is there really no way to use this data for alerting as it stands
now? It appears as if more than 10ms in my environment represents a
problem and that setting it at 10 would probably yield no false alarms,
but I can see no way to turn red for any value other than a failed
ping/dropped packets.

Thanks for any info you can pass along.
