TS - Adding an ICON

9 messages in this thread

list Tom Schmitt · Fri, 4 Jun 2010 15:41:30 -0600 ·

I have a need to add a new ICON (green, red, yellow, blue, etc.) to the
existing icons for a network device.

I also need to alert on the change of colors of the icon.

 
I am using a MIB check to verify that a device (in a set of HA devices)
is the current one using the virtual IP address.

I can tell from my scripting that the device has switched to the other
of the HA pair.

(A Juniper SSL-VPN pair).

I will be using NET-SNMP on the XYMON server to gather the info using a
crontab script.

 
I need to create and change an ICON next to the device.  E.g. HA

If HA for that device goes from GREEN(active server) to RED(now inactive
server) notify.

The same  for a return to being the GREEN active server.

 
I saw something about 6 months ago on setting an ICON to a color but
have not been able to find it again.

I must also be searching on the incorrect strings in the archive.

 
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

 
Thanks,

 
Tom Schmitt

Hello Tom,

I am using a MIB check to verify that a device (in a set of HA devices) is the current one using the virtual IP address.

I can tell from my scripting that the device has switched to the other of the HA pair.

(A Juniper SSL-VPN pair).

I will be using NET-SNMP on the XYMON server to gather the info using a crontab script.

Which MIB variable (OID) can be used to determine which device is the one using the virtual IP address?

FYI, there are already templates for some Juniper devices in devmon, and there are also some examples of HA monitoring (in cisco-pix, redhat-cluster etc.

You may want to consider doing this in devmon ...

Hope this helps!

FYI:  I found that the Primary server has all the information if you do
an
	snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public IP-of-server1 or 2 .1 >FILENAME
The size of the file is very large for the online server compared to the
offline server.
I did the command above for both servers and then did a diff of the 2
files.
I then looked for the Virtual IP address using:  grep -I "<virtual-IP>"
• If you find a better alternative, please let me know.

I currently use the Juniper .cgi web page in the Xymon bb-hosts line to
verify that there is a response.
Both return the identical screen so you cannot tell which is online from
this testing.

This is what I am looking to do and then I want to toggle
RED/YELLOW/GREEN icons on the same Xymon display line.
The only device that seems to have the virtual IP address in the MIB is
the live device.

Added the setting of the ICON to the code for the Juniper SSLVPN pair.
To set the ICON:
	BB=/home/xymon/server/bin/bb
	BBDISP-127.0.0.1
	DEVICE=SSLVPN1 or SSLVPN2
	COLUNM="online"
	COLOR=green       for 'online'  server
           =clear       for 'offline' server
	MSG="<the message to show when you click the icon>"
	$BB $BBDISP "status $DEVICE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`
	
	${MSG}
	"

	This adds the new column called 'online' to both SSLVPN1 and 2
	and sets the color to green or clear/white.
	
	Just add the code to the code below and also use 'mutt' to send
an alert upon the change.
	I have the complete code if required.

Nice idea: set the status to "clear" if a node in a cluster is inactive. In this way there is no need to remember the previous state in the script, while a status change does not result in a warning or error message being sent.

No alternative yet found; I am glad that there is an easily accessible variable at all which contains this information.

Your idea's are now incorporated in my juniper (server-side) script, which started out as a measurement of the number of web users.
