Windows load triggering only on default settings? 🔗 link

I can't get xymon to use the defined load settings for named hosts. It only
reacts on the  settings from the DEFAULT section.


part of analysis.cfg:

...
HOST=%ssnts.*,sspro01     TIME=W:0600:1800
     LOAD 60  80
     PROC %.*.EXE  TRACK=Programme

...
# These are the built-in defaults.
DEFAULT
UP      1h
LOAD    15  25
DISK    * 90 95
SWAP    50 80
MEMPHYS 100 101
MEMSWAP 50 80
MEMACT  90 97


client data for SSPRO01 as reported by bbwin 0.12:

[collector:]
client SSPRO01.bbwin win32
[date]
Wed Dec 07 16:45:46 2011
[clock]
epoch: 1323272746
local: Wed Dec 07 16:45:46 2011
UTC: Wed Dec 07 15:45:46 2011
[osversion]
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2, Standard x64 Edition Service Pack 2 (build 3790)
[cpu]
up: 0 days, 0 users, 45 procs, load=17%


CPU states:      total  17%
          cpu00  16.1%
....

In this case the display goes to yellow because "17%" is between the default values 15 and 25.
I've tried to add a percent sign to the host load definitions but that doesn't change anything. I hope the syntax for the HOST directive is right?

You are trying to mix regular expressions with host lists - I am quite 
sure you don't have any hosts with a comma in the hostname.

"HOST=%ssnts.*|sspro01" should do the trick.

No change. BTW: I think you meant HOST="%ssnts.*|sspro01" (qoutation mark after the equalsign ?). But it makes no difference. I even seperated both entries
on extra lines with no variable substition. The only change happened after
upping the DEFAULT values. 
Is there a way to debug which rules are applied?

Make sure you have the DEFAULT section at the end of the analysis.cfg

ignored.

Re: [Xymon] Antwort: Re: Windows load triggering only on default 
settings?

Hi,

could you send me (private mail - user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid) the analysis.cfg file? 

I

would like to know exactly what is going on and having the file to test
would make it much easier.

Done.

Henrik

The problem turned out to be some confusion about the regular expressions,
in combination with a rule that would unexpectedly take precedence over the
wanted one. When using regex'es, you must be careful about the order in
which you list the various rules. In this case there was 

  HOST=%ss
     LOAD ...

followed by

  HOST=%ssnts|sspro
     LOAD ...

and since Xymon uses the first rule that matches, the "%ssnts|sspro"
expression would never be used.

Henrik

Works as designed. Thanks, Henrik.
