History not reporting correctly 🔗 link

Hello!

I was wondering if someone could help me out.   When we click on "History"
for our hosts, its always green.  No matter what, the history is never
accurate.  I'm not sure where to look to fix this one.

Thanks

Matt

Hi,

First and foremost, you'll want to make sure the [history] section in
tasks.cfg is not disabled and that xymond_history is running properly.

Assuming it's running, try placing it in --debug mode (add that to the CMD
line, or give the running xymond_history (not the xymond_channel one
running it) a -USR2 signal. Then, cause an event to happen (eg, disable
and reenable a test) and see if any details are noted in
/var/log/xymon/history.log (or your local equivalent).

Baring that, you'll want to check for permissions issues (everything in
$XYMONVAR should be writeable by the xymon user), and possibly SELinux if
you're not using a packaged version.

If all else fails, restarting xymond will cause it to flush out the
current status the first time each host+service message comes in. That
should cause everything to synchronize back up (or expose what's
preventing it). (Version 4.4 - alpha still coming soon! - has a "histsync"
command which will does something similar to a running install.)


HTH,
