xymon-rclient

​Thanks for the reply and I will cc the group for now on. Let me tell you
my objective and if you still need to look at my script/log file, I will
fetch them.

This is basically what I want to do. For each ip address in my VIPs section
of the bb-host:
subpage vips VIPS
10.218.160.150   server1 #foo
10.218.160.150   server2 #foo

I want to send xml through this call:

wget --post-file=SentinelCompReport.xml --header="Content-Type: text/xml"
--header="SOAPAction: \"http://xxx.com/ComprehensivePersonSearch\""; -O -
http://VIP/BobService.asmx

and if the data returns as expected, then it is green.

How should I implement this?

Thanks in advance, sir.

Rod

Firstly, please cc the mailing list. Secondly, best to upgrade to Xymon if
that's possible.

I'll need more flexiability because this xml requires custom headers,
etc. I've created a custom script -- I placed it in the /server/ext dir and
populated my :hobbitlaunch.cfg with
[foo]
   ENVFILE $BBTHOME/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
   CMD $BB/ext/myscript.sh
   LOGFILE $BB/logs/myscript.log

I can't tell what your script does so I'm guessing that it has the target
server name hard coded.

I've placed 'foo' in the bb-hosts file for the bb server

This is not needed. Generally, test names in bb-hosts are used only by the
"network" tests (xymonnet or bbnet). Everything else uses their own
configurations, typically in-script variables or separate configuration
files. It's possible for a script to fetch it's configuration elements from
bb-hosts, but that's not very common, and requires the script to do some
extra work to get it. Again this is something I can't tell because I don't
know what your script is doing.

but I want to monitor the client-less vips. If I placed 'foo' next to my
client-less vips, it does nothing, do you have a clue?

The only place you need to define your test name is on the script that
sends the status message. Everything else is incidental or superfluous.
Even the [foo] in hobbitlaunch.cfg is arbitrary, and as long as its unique,
it can be any alphanumeric string of reasonable length.

There's no reason to list the test name in the bb-hosts file. Your script
needs to know the host name(s) it's going to test.

Can you show the script?

Have you user-27a96bc0cab9@xymon.invalid?
