Hi,

I am kicking myself for not knowng this but I'll ask anyway.

Just completed an install of xymon on rhel3, no problems. I choose to
use the el3 xymon rpm.

After it installed I tried to access the web page via
http://localhost/xymon but I can only see the directories not the web
page.

what am I not doing.

Successfull install --->
rpm -ivh xymon-4.2.3-1.rhel3.i386.rpm xymon-client-4.2.3-1.rhel3.i386.rpm

At this point, you should start xymon with:
# service xymon start
or similar
web page for localhost/xymon --->
bb.html, index.html etc. are created by the bbgen task of xymon ... and those

index.html should be a softlink to bb.html

Why those files aren't there after an RPM install is beyond me, but my guess
is a permissions issue at this point.

Restart the processes and look at anything in the logs?

If it were me I would just compile it, leaving defaults.  I've done it
with every version of CentOS since 4.2 with issues.

Hi,

Just completed an install of xymon on rhel3, no problems. I choose to
use the el3 xymon rpm.

After it installed I tried to access the web page via
http://localhost/xymon but I can only see the directories not the web

what am I not doing.

At this point, you should start xymon with:
# service xymon start
or similar
web page for localhost/xymon --->
bb.html, index.html etc. are created by the bbgen task of xymon ... and
those
only run if hobbitlaunch is running, which is (ultimately) started by

In case any one else goes through this I found the fix as follows for
redhat 3 Rhel3

Looks like I got a crap rpm, do not download form the following url!!!
*** http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel3/xymon/i386/ ***

Instead follow this.

Install the following from http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rrdtool/

perl-rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el3.rf.i386.rpm
rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el3.rf.i386.rpm
rrdtool-devel-1.0.50-3.el3

Also install from dag:
fping-2.4-1.b2.1.el3.rf.i386.rpm
and
pcre-devel-3.9-3.i386.rpm

I also installed perl-Time-HiRes-1.9712-1.el3.rf.i386.rpm but not sure
if it is needed.

Finally I installed hobbit from:
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/rpm.razorsedge.org/centos-3/RE/hobbit-4.2.0-7.el3.re.i386.rpm

And it works.

Thanks guys for your suggestions.

If you use RRDTool 1.0.50, I'm fairly certain that you lose some of the additional functionality of the graphs (like zooming in to a particular time).  This functionality came with rrdtool 1.2.x, IIRC.

Hi,

I am kicking myself for not knowng this but I'll ask anyway.

Just completed an install of xymon on rhel3, no problems. I choose to
use the el3 xymon rpm.

After it installed I tried to access the web page via
http://localhost/xymon but I can only see the directories not the web
page.

what am I not doing.

Successfull install --->

At this point, you should start xymon with:
# service xymon start
or similar
web page for localhost/xymon --->
bb.html, index.html etc. are created by the bbgen task of xymon ... and
those
only run if hobbitlaunch is running, which is (ultimately) started by

You're on Fedora too...

Follow my install guide for CentOS.  I'm sure most of it is exactly
the same, if not all.  It will get you up in running in just minutes.

If you use RRDTool 1.0.50, I'm fairly certain that you lose some of the
additional functionality of the graphs (like zooming in to a particular
time).  This functionality came with rrdtool 1.2.x, IIRC.

In case any one else goes through this I found the fix as follows for
redhat 3 Rhel3

Looks like I got a crap rpm, do not download form the following url!!!
*** http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel3/xymon/i386/ ***

Instead follow this.

Install the following from http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rrdtool/

perl-rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el3.rf.i386.rpm
rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el3.rf.i386.rpm
rrdtool-devel-1.0.50-3.el3

Also install from dag:
fping-2.4-1.b2.1.el3.rf.i386.rpm
and
pcre-devel-3.9-3.i386.rpm

I also installed perl-Time-HiRes-1.9712-1.el3.rf.i386.rpm but not sure
if it is needed.

Finally I installed hobbit from:
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/rpm.razorsedge.org/centos-3/RE/hobbit-4.2.0-7.el3.re.i386.rpm

And it works.

Thanks guys for your suggestions.

Restart the processes and look at anything in the logs?

If it were me I would just compile it, leaving defaults.  I've done it
with every version of CentOS since 4.2 with issues.

index.html should be a softlink to bb.html

Why those files aren't there after an RPM install is beyond me, but my
guess
is a permissions issue at this point.

Do a namei -m /usr/lib/xymon/server/www

Hi,

Little question.
One of our windows servers causes "Oversize data/client msg from
169.32.24.83 truncated (n=931681, limit 524288)" messages in hobbitd. 
I already increased the MAXMSG_CLIENT to 1024, but is there a way I can
limit the size of the data/client message via bbwin instead of
increasing the MAXMSG_STATUS/DATA/CLIENT?

The reason the message is so big is because it contains lots of info
about a certain eventlog. (So excluding certain messages from for
example the security eventlog would be a nice work arround. Already
searched the internets but I haven't found anything usefull concerning
this yet.)


Kind regards,


Jef Jagers

Because they aren't installed by 'make install', they are created by bbgen if 
they are not present.

I would have a look in /var/log/xymon/bb-display.log and /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.log .

You may also want to run 'rpm -V xymon' to check for permissions problems. Specifically, /var/lib/hobbit/www must be writable by the xymon user. If you are unsure, provide the output of:

# ls -ld /var /var/lib /var/lib/xymon /var/lib/xymon/www


(I don't have any Xymon servers running RHEL3, I mainly build packages for our two remaining RHEL3 xymon clients, but the packages built from the same SRPM work out-the-box on RHEL4, RHEL5, Mandriva 2009.0, Mandriva 2009.1 - the previous hobbit packages were also built for a few other distros as well as Solaris)

Jef,

If you want to exclude a certain event log message you must put an <ignore logfile="Application,Security,System?" eventid="####" /> statement in the <msgs> </msgs> section of the bbwin.cfg file.

The ignore statement might look like this:
        <ignore logfile="security" eventid="999" />
                Or to ignore from a specific source (program)
        <ignore logfile="security" source="W32Time" />
