strange history issue
list Torsten Richter
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi XYmonians and XYmonettes, I'am running an self-compiled XYmon 4.3.7 on Debian 6. Last week the company I'm working for at the moment experienced a big network outage. After 2 hours everything came back online and XYmon started to get back to green again. Today I saw on a lot of tests, when I click on the "History" button, that they show "clear" or "purple" since the outage although the became "green" again after the network issue was fixed. I also saw in data/histlogs/<SERVER>/<TEST> that the last entry there is the one from the time of the outage when the test went "clear" or "purple". Has this ever happened to someone else and if so, how did you fix it? Or is this a problem with my version that has been fixed in a later one?

I had a similar issue...I've got an Ubuntu 8 VM running hobbit-client 4.2.0. Over the weekend, the VM server was inadvertently rebooted, resulting in the VM being restarted. I found that even though the hobbit client was running, all of the items except for conn, info and trend were purple. I restarted the hobbit-client process on the VM, and everything went back to their normal states. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org "It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Mike, I don't think this will work for me since everything is showing green at the moment just the history seems to be messed up. But nevertheless I will give it a try. Cheers Torsten

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to recover that history...it's communicated to the the server by the client. The vmstat data is collected in 5 minute increments, and only a max of 2 collections at a time...anything older is removed. If the client wasn't communicating back to the server and passing the vmstat data along, there isn't any way (that I've seen) to recover and transmit the old data.

Xymon is working as expected. "Purple" equals "no report" and a "white" status equals "no data". They both represent a situation where data is not making it to the Xymon server. It appears that the network outage cut-off communications to the Xymon server. This results in lots of "red" conn tests and lots of purple and white because no reports made it to the server or no data was available. ......Bruce Bruce White Senior Enterprise Systems Engineer | Phone: X-XXX-XXX-XXXX | Fax: XXX-XXX-XXXX | user-58f975e8bf9d@xymon.invalid | http://www.fellowes.com/ Disclaimer: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
