Even better.
Thanks, David. What a tool xymon is. I'm so impressed.

Phil,
Hi Taylor,
I'm new at xymon and am also looking at using the client data.
I found the xymon command itself lets you query current status:
# /usr/local/xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondlog
hostname.domain.com.memory"
hostname.domain.com|memory|green||1301551188|1302151594|1302153394|0|0|10.10.10.1|-1|||Y|
green Thu Apr 7 14:46:28 EST 2011 - Memory OK
Memory Used Total Percentage
&green Physical 9905M 11881M 83%
&green Actual 514M 11881M 4%
&green Swap 0M 10239M 0%
The above was run on the xymon server, hence the localhost address. It
appears to display the current service status page (on the webserver)
in
text. So it would be pretty easy to parse out the physical memory and
compare that with a value you set in the script itself.
That gets you the status page which is what the server creates after
it's processed the client message it receives.
You can get the client section directly doing:
# /usr/local/xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "clientlog
hostname.domain.com section=memory"
[memory]
memory Total Used
physical: 2047 1020
virtual: 2046 890
page: 3948 1731
David.
cheers.

Hi all, we manage several hundred hosts, and we've noticed when doing
maintenance that requires shutdown/reboot that occasionally (seldom)
on
restart one or more of the memory modules in a given host isn't
detected.
Sometimes it requires reseating the memory, sometimes just a reboot,
sometimes the memory is bad. Thus we have a need to write a script
that will
check the amount of memory each host sees, and send an email/alert if
its
below a given amount.
So I thought why not make use of xymon and the memory test you get
for free.
A large percentage of our hosts >60% have exactly 6 GB of memory,
but a large
percentage does not. So I was wondering if there is a way to make
use of the
hobbit-clients.cfg script where I could set alert thresholds for a
new
external script.
The default value for any host would be alert if less than 6.0 GB of
memory
is detected, but I could set custom alerts for given hosts that have
more or
less than this amount.
I don't believe its possible to use hobbit-client.cfg file in this
way, but
wanted to check with the list and hope I'm wrong.
Thanks,
Taylor
