Proving that tasks.d/ directory is working
list Martin Ward
Hi all,
I have a few tasks that I have designed to run on the Xymon server. I have created files in the tasks.d/ subdirectory based on the configs in the tasks.cfg file but they don't seem to be running.
One example entry from a file in tasks.d is:
# "replicate_ldap" runs the in-house LDAP replication checks.
[ldap_replication]
ENVFILE /opt/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
CMD /opt/xymon/server/ext/ldap_check_replication
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/ldap_replication.log
INTERVAL 5m
It's a simple configuration and the files exist but the log file has not been updated in weeks.
I cannot find any log information about the tasks.cfg file or its inclusions, it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere in the Xymon log files, can someone give me a clue as to how I can debug this?
