I am running version 4.3.5
When I run xymonnet --version I don't get any SSL libraries - just my version.
I would like to be able to monitor some https sites but when I add the urls to the hosts.cfg file it fails.  I am running the web console for my Xymon server over https.  I am a newbie to linux so responses could be dummied down it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

You need openssl-devel installed. You may need to recompile or reinstall Xymon after you add it.

It sounds like it may not have been compiled with the OpenSSL libraries
then. You'll probably need to recompile/reinstall the software, ensuring
that "openssl-devel" (or some similar package) is on your system before
then.

During the configuration process, either be sure to answer "Y" when it
asks you about compiling with OpenSSL, or run configure as:

ENABLESSL=Y ./configure --server

Never leave the mailing list. Always reply all.

Yes, that is different.  We're talking Linux here. You don't specify, so we on the list are forced to guess.

The openssl Linux package is just the executable. You need header files, etc. to be able to compile things to use it.

Jewel, 

What version of linux are you running?  The openssl-devel package mentioned by Paul contains the files that are often missing when people run into this sort of issue.
The same thing happens when people don't install the various 'devel' packages.

I am runnng Ubuntu 11.04.
I ran:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
I also reran configure using the following command:
sudo ./configure.server --pcreinclude /usr/inlcude --pcrelib /usr/lib 
--sslinclude /usr/include --ssllib /usr/include

It found the SSL libraries and asked if I want to enable SSL and I said 
yes.  I then ran Make and Make Install successfully. I then restarted 
Apache and Xymon but it still fails when I ask it to monitor a website 
using https.

Yeah, take a quick through the logs on your machine that runs the
network tests. It's likely that you'll find something in one of them
(I'd think the network log, but I've been suprised before).

The first thing that came to mind when I saw your re-compile message is that you did not run 'make clean' prior to adding those new options.

That said, it sounds like you did get ssl working... If ssl is working now (xymonnet --version shows the ssl libraries, etc) then I would have a look at any network or server firewalls/acls that prevent your xymon server from --> yourclient:tcp 443.

If you don't know about any rules you can try to telnet to port 443 on the client from your xymon server.  There are also some certificate options that you may need to sort out once you can speak to the remote on 443.

I know I don't have any issues with blocked ports or anything.  I think 
the SSL Libraries are still not configured.  When I run (xymonnet 
--version) it still only shows my xymon version and no SSL libraries. I 
installed openssl and libssl-dev

I am not sure what path to include when I run the ./configure.server 
command.

When do I run the make clean?

If you don't know about any rules you can try to telnet to port 443 on the client from your xymon server.  There are also some certificate options that you may need to sort out once you can speak to the remote on 443.

Yes, that is different.  We're talking Linux here. You don't

The openssl Linux package is just the executable. You need header
files, etc. to be able to compile things to use it.

You should not need to specify any path names if the libraries are installed in normal locations.  Having not used Ubuntu I can't offer much help in that regard.  Same goes for if the libssl-devel package is the same as openssl-devel in other distributions.

From your source directory:

make clean
./configure.server
Look at output from configure.

make
Look at output from make.

make install
Look at make install output.

Take careful note of the output from the build, maybe dump it into a text file.

Yes, that is different.  We're talking Linux here. You don't

The openssl Linux package is just the executable. You need header

Really? Interesting.

I guess the cleanest way to go, then, would be to delete the directory, untar again, and then rebuild.

But, if your xymonnet command is revealing that ssl is enabled, then it may be the URL you've listed for testing.

1.  To verify all of the SSL bits are there; You should be able to do the following on Ubuntu and report the output back to the list.

dpkg -l | egrep -i '(ssl|pcre)'

Another method from the Ubuntu faq: apt-cache search libssl | grep SSL

And yes, I snuck pcre in the search.


2.  You probably don't have a Makefile, so 'make clean' in this case is going to fail, but you still have stuff in the build subdir that might create fun times.
So, move/rename your source tree and extract again like already mentioned.  Then run ./configure.server make && make install.  But don't waste your time if the output from the package list above does not include the proper SSL packages.

Good Luck!

You should not need to specify any path names if the libraries are installed in normal locations.  Having not used Ubuntu I can't offer much help in that regard.  Same goes for if the libssl-devel package is the same as openssl-devel in other distributions.

From your source directory:

make clean
./configure.server
Look at output from configure.

make
Look at output from make.

make install
Look at make install output.

Take careful note of the output from the build, maybe dump it into a text file.

What version of linux are you running?  The openssl-devel package

Yes, that is different.  We're talking Linux here. You don't
specify, so we on the list are forced to guess.

The openssl Linux package is just the executable. You need header
files, etc. to be able to compile things to use it.

Wow, I so love top posting.... I've cut it all for now because I just
wanted to say....
apt-cache search libssl
Will return results from packages that are not installed as well as
packages that are installed. That is the command I generally use to find
out which package I need to install (if I don't already know the correct
name).

One option might be
apt-get build-dep xymon

  * get and install the packages required to rebuild the package foo

Given that xymon is in the ubuntu repository, it know what packages are
required to compile xymon from source, so just let it do the hard work
for you.

2.  You probably don't have a Makefile, so 'make clean' in this case is going to fail, but you still have stuff in the build subdir that might create fun times.
So, move/rename your source tree and extract again like already mentioned.  Then run ./configure.server make && make install.  But don't waste your time if the output from the package list above does not include the proper SSL packages.

Good Luck!

You should not need to specify any path names if the libraries are installed in normal locations.  Having not used Ubuntu I can't offer much help in that regard.  Same goes for if the libssl-devel package is the same as openssl-devel in other distributions.

 From your source directory:

make clean
./configure.server
Look at output from configure.

make
Look at output from make.

make install
Look at make install output.

Take careful note of the output from the build, maybe dump it into a text file.

I know I don't have any issues with blocked ports or anything.  I think
the SSL Libraries are still not configured.  When I run (xymonnet
--version) it still only shows my xymon version and no SSL libraries. I
installed openssl and libssl-dev

I am not sure what path to include when I run the ./configure.server
command.

When do I run the make clean?

The first thing that came to mind when I saw your re-compile message is that you did not run 'make clean' prior to adding those new options.

That said, it sounds like you did get ssl working... If ssl is working now (xymonnet --version shows the ssl libraries, etc) then I would have a look at any network or server firewalls/acls that prevent your xymon server from --> yourclient:tcp 443.

If you don't know about any rules you can try to telnet to port 443 on the client from your xymon server.  There are also some certificate options that you may need to sort out once you can speak to the remote on 443.

Can you actually 'su - ' to root on this box?  I suspect that your environment does not have proper path and lib path statements.  If you can't su to root then most likely you WILL need to provide the path to the SSL goodies.  You will need to see where the libraries and include files are installed.  Usually /usr/local/ssl, might be /usr/local/openssl on your system.  Use whatever tools you have to find the install location for these packages and add the flags as needed.

It's been a little while since I built this thing, and I remember
having similar annoying problems, but I believe there's a log
somewhere in there that you can look at to see what failed,
specifically. Sometimes it's missing a header file for some reason
which is really there.

You can look at build/ssl.sh to see what it is doing when it fails.
Run it first so you can know what output to look for in the file.

I am not able to determine where the SSL headers are on my system.  The 
apt-file command doesn't work saying I need to install it yet when I try 
it says the package doesn't exist. I have tried to run the ./configure 
command using the following paths to point to where I think the ssl 
headers are but I always get an error when I run make and make install.

Paths I have used in my ./configure command:
/etc/ssl
/usr/include/openssl
/usr/lib/ssl/misc
/usr/local
/usr/src
/usr/lib

The errors I am getting are:
undefined reference to 'SSLv2_client_method'
make[1]: *** [xymonnet] Error 1
make: *** [xymonnet-build] Error 2

I have to run the ./configure command with paths to the pcreinclude and 
pcrelib or else it won't find them - same for the OpenSSL.

I am worried I might mess up my current setup since Xymon is working 
well running on SSL.  It just not able to monitor other https sites.

Doing a dpkg -L on the SSL packages one by one should tell you where those files. dpkg -l libssl (I think that was the name of one) | grep "\.h" should get you somewhere. 
In place of the apt-cache command, you might try aptitude. Which is the primary command for package management is a bit in flux at the moment on Ubuntu.

Right and so you can then see in that script what it does to determine that "build or include files not found". It probably runs a line that compiles and calls in those things. Running that line on the command line should give you more error output.

This /is/ a weak point in Xymon at the moment. It seems to be trickier to define the includes for some reason than with other packages. It think part of the reason is a lack of the traditional configure/config.log etc. stuff you'd normally use to troubleshoot.

[cid:user-90ff7971070b@xymon.invalid]
quoted from Jewel Makda

The aptitude command isn't recognized on my system.   When I try to install the packages (source foo) and (build-dep xymon) or (build-dep foo) it says they cannot be found.


I may have to abandon this project. Every solution that keeps getting thrown my way is adding more complexity and it appears I am not getting ahead. I appreciate everyone's efforts in trying to help me.

Doing a dpkg -L on the SSL packages one by one should tell you where those files. dpkg -l libssl (I think that was the name of one) | grep "\.h" should get you somewhere.

In place of the apt-cache command, you might try aptitude. Which is the primary command for package management is a bit in flux at the moment on Ubuntu.

Subject: Re: [Xymon] Monitoring HTTPS sites

I am not able to determine where the SSL headers are on my system.  The
apt-file command doesn't work saying I need to install it yet when I try
it says the package doesn't exist. I have tried to run the ./configure
command using the following paths to point to where I think the ssl
headers are but I always get an error when I run make and make install.

Paths I have used in my ./configure command:
/etc/ssl
/usr/include/openssl
/usr/lib/ssl/misc
/usr/local
/usr/src
/usr/lib

The errors I am getting are:
undefined reference to 'SSLv2_client_method'
make[1]: *** [xymonnet] Error 1
make: *** [xymonnet-build] Error 2

I have to run the ./configure command with paths to the pcreinclude and
pcrelib or else it won't find them - same for the OpenSSL.

I am worried I might mess up my current setup since Xymon is working
well running on SSL.  It just not able to monitor other https sites.

Can you actually 'su - ' to root on this box?  I suspect that your environment does not have proper path and lib path statements.  If you can't su to root then most likely you WILL need to provide the path to the SSL goodies.  You will need to see where the libraries and include files are installed.  Usually /usr/local/ssl, might be /usr/local/openssl on your system.  Use whatever tools you have to find the install location for these packages and add the flags as needed.

apt-file list libssl-dev
apt-file list libssl0.9.8


--sslinclude DIRECTORY   : Specify location of OpenSSL include files
--ssllib DIRECTORY       : Specify location of OpenSSL libraries


./build/ssl.sh shows the search patterns.

Good Luck,

Tim

The custom is to include these things as text. Images are generally frowned up on a mailing list. Generally, just where the last few lines of the error are will suffice. They are also causing people to have trouble replying because of size limits. 

You are looking in the wrong place now for the lib files. Libs are generally files ending in .so or .so.# or sometimes .sl depending on the OS. Those are not in the include directory. You can see where they are the same way.

Hi,

please - do not post large screenshot images to the mailing list if you can avoid it. Cut-and-paste of the text provides the same information using far less ressources.

There are almost 1000 members on the mailing list, sending a couple hundred kB to all of them does generate quite a bit of traffic.

The list has a limit of 40 kB per posting, anything above that requires manual approval, meaning your post is delayed. I will usually accept a single mail if it isn't too large, but 200+ kB triggers my BOFH mentality.

Jewel, 

Don't give up, just think of all the stuff you are learning as a result of these trials.

In the output from the dpkg list command that you ran yesterday it shows that there are two versions of SSL libraries installed on your system.  There was also a message this morning with a specfic sslv2 test that failed.  I do NOT recommend that you remove libssl0.9.8, as it is probably required for some other product on your system.  You need to specify the libssl1.0 paths for the Xymon install (reference below).  How you find the correct path on Ubuntu, and if you need to clean up some old ssl conf / cache files I will leave to the Debian / Ubuntu experts that don't like top posts.  Regards, Tim

I apologize to the list for sending attachments. It won't happen again.

I was able to get past the error when running make.  I commented out line 482 in a contest.c file under the xymonnet directory.
case SSLVERSION_V2: item->sslctx = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv2_client_method()); break;
This is where it was failing so I am not sure what is happening.

For the first time when I run (./xymonnet --version) I do get "SSL library: OpenSSL 1.0.1" so I feel we may be getting closer.
To test if everything is working I edited my hosts.cfg file to monitor Xymon's own webpage but it's still not working. Showing in red and says Server timeout.

Is that an indication that the server you are querying is not running https at least not for the site you are trying?

What version of Xymon are you trying to compile ? The configuration script
is supposed to pick up that your SSL library does not have SSLv2 support,
and configure this automatically.

This was added around 4.3.8, if I remember correctly.
