automated svcs listing with xymon ps client and analysis.d

Excellent!

That was it I was looking for. Works exactly as expected. I added a

directory /home/xymon/server/etc/analysis.d

into my analysis.cfg, and now:
- i can throw in any kind of cfg files into this dir, and all the settings
become active within some minutes (no restart necessary)
- even a mix of settings (for one server) in analysis.cfg and a
servername.cfg in analysis.d works, both settings are considered

This makes it very easy to handle the global settings in analysis.cfg, and
all the individual checks in several extra files.

Thanks for the hint, Fabian!

I saw the directory statement for tasks.d in my servers tasks.cfg as well,
but never realized that this is also possible in the other cfg files.
Next time I will try this in my alerts.cfg as well.

As always a very fast and sufficient solution from this list, great!

Have a nice weekend

Hi,

including directories does work for analysis.cfg, but unlike e.g.
hosts.cfg, analysis.cfg does not include a 'directory'-statement by default.

Add the following directive above your 'DEFAULT' section in analysis.cfg
and restart xymon:

directory /path/to/analysis.d/

Fabian

Hi,

I want to automatically identify and configure test for all services of
win servers which has the startup setting ?automatic?

Getting the analysis.cfg entries is quite easy:

for servername in $LIST
do
  echo ?HOST=$servername? > $servername.cfg
  xymon localhost "xymondlog $servername.svcs"|awk '/ automatic
/{printf("   SVC %-30s startup=automatic\n",$1)}' >> $servername.cfg
done

This will create an individual cfg file for every server just for the SVC
check (with ~60 entries each).
I thought I can just create these cfg files in $XYMONHOME/etc/analysis.d
and it will be used similar to hosts.d or tasks.d directories.
But obviously this does not work (and also there is no mention of
analysis.d in the manuals).
Of course I can add all these lines directly into analysis.cfg, but this
would create a very huge file.

Is there a way to use a subdir for those settings?
Any other ideas to combine the normal analysis.cfg with let?s say 100
extra server cfg files?

Xymon 4.3.30 self compiled and latest xymon PS client.

Any ideas welcome

regards

Norbert
