Hi guys,

does anybody know, if its possible to make the "check columns" at the
vertical and not horizontal? Its kinda of unhandy when you allways have to
scroll to the left when you want to see all your checks.

Thanks,

I do not believe it is possible in the current version(s) of Xymon.  The Web
page generation code would have to be redone in order to put hosts in
columns and tests in rows.  And it would only be effective in cases where
you have more tests than hosts, which will only be true if you have a small
monitoring system or if you are into heavy grouping.

Are all of your columns populated?  Do you have more tests than you have
hosts?   There are strategies that you can use to reduce the column count so
no scrolling is needed.

Thx for the reply Greg.

we are monitoring a medium network with +/- 200 Hosts. Some of the hosts
have a lot of external scripts running and these hosts makes the webpage too
large. One option is to isolate these hosts into a separeted group, but they
are the principal ones and should stay at the main page.

Cayo,

Are you aware of the "all non-green" and the "Critical systems" views?  The
"non-green" view provides you with a condensed view of current problems
across everything you monitor, and it reduces the column count.  It also
shows a list of recent transition events so you can see what you might have
missed.

The Critical systems view is even more configurable but you have to take the
time to enter information about each of your hosts and assign them the
correct tags.  If you take the time to do this you can provide another nice
display that is somewhat tailored to show the importance of what is being
monitored.

I generally watch the non-green view myself because it provides me "at a
glance" status.

I know you were after something else, but I thought I might share these
thoughts with you in case you are really searching for a way to show
operators "what's important" and the notion of exchanging columns and rows
was just a technique that you wanted to explore...

thanks again for the answer Greg.

you are right, these views are a way better then the normal one, because you
only see whats wrong in your system. I usually use the "all non-green" view
and Im happy with that. The "Critical systems" view seems to be nice, but I
never took the time to lern more about it.

I was only looking for a solution to the people who likes to watch all hosts
in the main view. I really though this would be easier, because I saw one
"hobbit tunning" topic, where an user made an amazing GUI for hobbit, which
is controlled by css.

Thanks anyway!

The email address it is sending from may not be what you need to send it

You need to make sure that the reply e-mail is sent to the Xymon server. If you, for example, have user-98e7dbae8497@xymon.invalid<mailto:user-98e7dbae8497@xymon.invalid> as sender for alerts, you need to forward it to user-dd4c61b4d096@xymon.invalid<mailto:user-dd4c61b4d096@xymon.invalid> in exchange. You also need an MX record for xymonserver.yourdomain.com in DNS, and you need to configure the MTA on your Xymon server to accept mails for @xymonserver.yourdomain.com domain.

Barring that (in my case, changing MX records and mail routing was not
allowed), you can use fetchmail to pull mail from a valid account on
your e-mail server and acknowledge based on that. I have done that before.

it to user-dd4c61b4d096@xymon.invalid

all my alerts send from user-0b8c4a2a0d7a@xymon.invalid

( hobbitserver.cfg: MAIL="mailx -r user-0b8c4a2a0d7a@xymon.invalid -s" )

any reply to it goes back to xymon @mx.example.net

mx.example.net then sends it to xymon.example.net, using .qmail.

xymon.example.net's sendmail allows inbound email only from mx.example.net
using tcpserver on xymon.example.net

xymon on xymon.example.net then works w/ hobbit-mailack to ack the alert

man page for hobbitd-mailack or whatever it was called (earlier in the

You need the procmail package installed.  You need

you're editing sendmail.cf directly, you need

in there.  I think having procmail enabled is the default with most
sendmail installs, so it's probably already there.

Hi,

I'm running old version of hobbit and was wondering where should I put
the .procmailrc file since I don't have hobbit home directory?

Thanks.

Is hobbit-mailack a binary? I don't recall.

In any case, it seems like the environment executing this program
doesn't know about the library path. You're not running this from the
command line, right?

What OS is this? "crle" might be an easier/better way to deal with this
if it's Solaris (I seem to remember it being).

I found libpcre.so.0 in /opt/csw/lib and I have that path set in

I don't think it's position sensitive, you could put it at the bottom.

Hi.

The user that runs the hobbit server should have a home directory defined, check /etc/passwd

Nope, no home dir for hobbit user on the server I checked that. It is hobbit
package installed on debian server I installed it from the debian
repositories more then a year ago. Maybe I need to fix this manually?

The user that's running Hobbit surely has a home directory. It may not
be a "hobbit" user -- it may be some other system user. However, on
UNIX, all users have a home directory (even if it is currently set to
/dev/null or something).
