Hi Folks,
I am currently testing out Xymon and using Debian as both the server
and client in my tests. I installed both xymon clients and the xymon
server from the Debian repo rather than using the .deb from the xymon
site or compiling from source. I have a couple of issues that may be
Debian sepcific, I originally asked this question on the Debian
forums
(http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=103076 [1]) but got no
response.
1. I created a user using "htpasswd" so that I could access the cgi
sections of the web server, however I am never prompted for a
username/password so still cannot access these sections.
How did you setup you apache installation for Xymon? Sounds like you
need to add authentication config
for apache here.
2. I was looking for hosts.cfg to setup monitoring of diskspace and
the like but the file does not exist under /etc/hobbit where I
expected it. In-fact any file mentioned on this page does not seem to
exist: http://xymon.com/xymon/help/xymon-config.html [2]
Have a look in /usr/lib/hobbit/. Under there you will see server for
the server files and client for the client files
This second point in particular makes me think Debian is doing
something odd with packaging and file names etc. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
Cheers
