Trying to send to dual xymon servers

Sorry for this entry being so long.  I am trying to include as much info
as possible.

Running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.3.

 
I am trying to send to 2 xymon servers (Primary - monitor1, Secondary -
monitor2) from multiple clients. 

                CLIENTS BEING TESTED:

o   Linux (tomvip)

o   BBWin (sltst03)

o   Current BB clients that are in service (slcts00)

                It worked after we set the 1984 TCP port in the firewall
for a short time and then quit.

I am also having the same problem when setting the BBWin to point to
both server (it works and then it stops to one of them).

If I add both addresses to the actual BB windows client, they both
report the exact same icons to both servers and the BB server.

 
I was able to get both the BB and the BBWin clients to run on the same
Windows server. 

We setup a different registry name for the BBWin client (e.g. slcts00
vs. slcts00.csw.L-3com.com for BB).

 
I have the iptables firewalls on both monitor1 and monitor2 OFF.   

                cd /etc/init.d

                ./iptables stop

 
I get PURPLE icons on  monitor1 and OK icons on monitor2:   (for Linux,
but just dashed for BBWin).

Looks like you have both BBDISP and BBDISPLAYS configured wrong, see following example.


BBDISP="0.0.0.0"             # IP address of the Hobbit server
BBDISPLAYS="hobbit1.test.com hobbit2.test.com" # IP of multiple Hobbit servers. BBDISP must be "0.0.0.0".

Subject: [hobbit] Trying to send to dual xymon servers


Sorry for this entry being so long. I am trying to
include as much info as possible.


Running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.3.


I am trying to send to 2 xymon servers (Primary – monitor1,
Secondary – monitor2) from multiple clients.


CLIENTS
BEING TESTED:


o
Linux (tomvip)


o
BBWin (sltst03)


o
Current BB clients that are in service (slcts00)


It
worked after we set the 1984 TCP port in the firewall for a short time and then
quit.


I am also having the same problem when setting the BBWin to
point to both server (it works and then it stops to one of them).


If I add both addresses to the actual BB windows client, they
both report the exact same icons to both servers and the BB server.


I was able to get both the BB and the BBWin clients to run
on the same Windows server.


We setup a different registry name for the BBWin client
(e.g. slcts00 vs. slcts00.csw.L-3com.com for BB).


I have the iptables firewalls
on both monitor1 and monitor2 OFF.


cd
/etc/init.d


./iptables
stop


I get PURPLE icons on monitor1 and OK icons on
monitor2: (for Linux, but just dashed for BBWin).

It helps when you understand what you read.
Thanks T.J. Yang for the assistance - I is now working on the Linux servers.
I'll have to look at the BBWin fields next.

Looks like you have both BBDISP and BBDISPLAYS configured wrong, see following example.


BBDISP="0.0.0.0"             # IP address of the Hobbit server
BBDISPLAYS="hobbit1.test.com hobbit2.test.com" # IP of multiple Hobbit servers. BBDISP must be "0.0.0.0".

Subject: [hobbit] Trying to send to dual xymon servers


Sorry for this entry being so long. I am trying to
include as much info as possible.


Running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.3.


I am trying to send to 2 xymon servers (Primary - monitor1,
Secondary - monitor2) from multiple clients.


CLIENTS
BEING TESTED:


o
Linux (tomvip)


o
BBWin (sltst03)


o
Current BB clients that are in service (slcts00)


It
worked after we set the 1984 TCP port in the firewall for a short time and then
quit.


I am also having the same problem when setting the BBWin to
point to both server (it works and then it stops to one of them).


If I add both addresses to the actual BB windows client, they
both report the exact same icons to both servers and the BB server.


I was able to get both the BB and the BBWin clients to run
on the same Windows server.


We setup a different registry name for the BBWin client
(e.g. slcts00 vs. slcts00.csw.L-3com.com for BB).


I have the iptables firewalls
on both monitor1 and monitor2 OFF.


cd
/etc/init.d


./iptables
stop


I get PURPLE icons on monitor1 and OK icons on
monitor2: (for Linux, but just dashed for BBWin).

Hi=2C Tom

You are welcome.

The hobbit windows client does use the syntax of bbdisplay per-line=2C
Mine looks like following and it work in an intranet setting.


<bbwin>

=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"bbdisplay" value=3D"hobbit2.test.com" />

It helps when you understand what you read.

Thanks T.J. Yang for the assistance - I is now working on the Linux serve=
rs.
I'll have to look at the BBWin fields next.
