Hi Guys

I need some assistance with regards to setting up Xymon, I have seen it once or twice but the actual config itself I have never done.

I used the man pages etc. but I can’t get my Xymon url to show the page, checked the log and I am getting the following.

Then the error just repeats over and over.

Does anyone perhaps have an example of what needs to be setup that I can use to reference to mine to see what I did wrong.

Kind regards,

defined in a "CMD" line, and my tasks.cfg has no such line.

You should check your tasks.cfg (and tasks.d directory contents) for
invalid entries.  A useful diagnostic is to dump the tasks like so:

xymoncmd sh -c '$XYMONHOME/bin/xymonlaunch
--config=$XYMONHOME/etc/tasks.cfg --dump'

This will show you the tasks configuration after being parsed by
xymonlaunch, which includes slurping in include files, stripping comments,
de-duplicating entries, and dropping unrecognised keywords.

I’m down to having this error.  I know it’s due to a permission either on

You don't have permission to access /xymon/xymon.html on this server.


Am I correct in saying that Apache wants to hit the xymon web page but it
has not access hence the error.?

I'd guess an Apache configuration issue, yes.  Of course, you should also
check the permission on the *xymon.html* file to ensure it's readable by
whatever user your Apache *httpd* process is running as.

 Hi Guys


I’m down to having this error.  I know it’s due to a permission either
on a folder or config file.


You don't have permission to access /xymon/xymon.html on this server.


Am I correct in saying that Apache wants to hit the xymon web page but
it has not access hence the error.?

Looks to me like (the *xymonserver.cfg* variable) *$XYMON* isn't
defined with an absolute path, and (the environment variable) *$PATH* does
not include *~xymon/server/bin*.

 That's weird.  The error message says that it's trying to load the
task defined in tasks.cfg section [xymon].  My tasks.cfg has no [xymon].
 The nearest match is [xymond].  Similarly, the command 'xymon' would have
been defined in a "CMD" line, and my tasks.cfg has no such line.


You should check your tasks.cfg (and tasks.d directory contents) for
invalid entries.  A useful diagnostic is to dump the tasks like so:


xymoncmd sh -c '$XYMONHOME/bin/xymonlaunch
--config=$XYMONHOME/etc/tasks.cfg --dump'


This will show you the tasks configuration after being parsed by
xymonlaunch, which includes slurping in include files, stripping comments,
de-duplicating entries, and dropping unrecognised keywords.

 Hi Guys


I need some assistance with regards to setting up Xymon, I have seen it
once or twice but the actual config itself I have never done.


I used the man pages etc. but I can’t get my Xymon url to show the page,
checked the log and I am getting the following.


Then the error just repeats over and over.


Does anyone perhaps have an example of what needs to be setup that I can
use to reference to mine to see what I did wrong.


Kind regards,

Subject: Re: [Xymon] Xymon Setup

Hi Guys

Just some questions regarding Xymon,


1.       At current my hosts.cfg file is getting very big and long with all hosts I am adding. So now when you view Xymon on the frontend ie. Browser you need to scroll down to see everything. Instead of one big list, can you not have your servers and network for instance next to one another like below.?

1.1 Current config.

2.1 Which ones are default on xymon,? I take it the cpu, disk, memory and some of them come with bbwin if it is installed and monitoring a windows box.


3.       If you setup a conn for ping in the hosts.cfg file and configure the interval time in the server.cfg can you only set the interval in minutes ie. 1M, can you make it in seconds also for a more realtime realistic feel?.

Kind regards,
Andre
