Conn/Ping Test/Graph to Secondary (Backup) IP

I expect you're going to have to use NCV to generate the rrds.  I don't
think Xymon will look at a number and just decide to track it.  I expect
someone will correct me if this is not the case.  I'd focus on getting
Xymon to create and populate the rrd files, then worry about the graphing.

I have been attempting to use the “standard” tcp (conn) tests and
pre-defined graphs, rather than building something “custom”.


In /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg I added:


TEST2RRD=” … ,voip=tcp”

GRAPHS=” … ,voip”


I did not configure it to use NCV as I understood, based on my reading
online, that was only necessary with output formatted as colon-separated
“columnar” data.  Since this test runs a simple fping the output looks like
this:


10.10.16.251 is alive (25.8 ms)


I rewrote the script yesterday as a shell script (no perl).  Here’s the
entire thing:


#!/bin/sh


COLUMN=voip

for RMT in `cat /etc/xymon/hosts.cfg | egrep "vya|tal" | tr -s ' ' | cut
-d" " -f1,2 --output-delimiter=,`

do

   ADDR=`echo $RMT | awk -F, '{print $1}'`

   SITE=`echo $RMT | awk -F, '{print $2}'`

   RSLT=ok

   STAT=green

   VOIP=${ADDR/192.168/10.10}

   VOIP=${VOIP/.5./.6.}

   SRVR=${SITE//./,}

   DATA=`/usr/sbin/fping -Ae $VOIP`


   if [[ $DATA == *"unreachable"* ]]

   then

      RSLT="NOT ok"

      STAT=red

   fi

   MESG="Service $COLUMN on $SITE is $RSLT"


   # Results to Xymon

   #echo $ADDR $SRVR $DATA $STAT $MESG

   $XYMON $XYMSRV "status $SRVR.$COLUMN $STAT `date +"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S
%Y"` $COLUMN $RSLT


${MESG}


${DATA}

"

done


exit 0


Unfortunately no, the RRD log files are not being created either – so it
looks like I’ve missed some critical steps there too.


Thanks,

Scott
