Good afternoon, all.
I'm running Xymon 4.3.19 and I've implemented content checking for specific URLs in my setup, but the actual process to alert, on screen, when the content does not match does work.
The issue that I'm having is that Xymon isn't sending out the email alerts for that content check.
So, my hosts file entry looks like this:
page dorado Dorado
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hostname.company.com # NAME:"Dorado Price Engine 1" NOCOLUMNS:conn,disk,files,cpu,memory,msgs,ports,procs,inode cont=content;https://some.url.to.check/subdir;"Sorry,[[:space:]]I[[:space:]]don't[[:space:]]speak[[:space:]]via[[:space:]]HTTP[[:space:]]GET";
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy hostname2.company.com # NAME:"Dorado Price Engine 2" NOCOLUMNS:conn,disk,files,cpu,memory,msgs,ports,procs,inode cont=content;https://another.url.to.check/subdir;"Sorry,[[:space:]]I[[:space:]]don't[[:space:]]speak[[:space:]]via[[:space:]]HTTP[[:space:]]GET";
This works...I get column "content" and it goes red if the site does not return the text "Sorry, I don't speak via HTTP GET".
My alerts.cfg looks like this:
PAGE=%(dorado)
MAIL list,of,recipients REPEAT=3 SERVICE=http,cont,content RECOVERED
The xymonnet section of my tasks.cfg looks like this:
[xymonnet]
ENVFILE /apps/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
NEEDS xymond
CMD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse --content=content,ptcls1,ptcls2,ptcls3,ptcls4
LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonnet.log
INTERVAL 1m
I've also tried this in my tasks.cfg:
[xymonnet]
ENVFILE /apps/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
NEEDS xymond
CMD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse --content=content --content=ptcls1 --content=ptcls2 --content=ptcls3 --content=ptcls4
LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonnet.log
INTERVAL 1m
I'm at a loss...how do I make Xymon send out alerts on the actual content checks...what the heck am I doing wrong?
