xymon pluggin not working on server
list David Hay Currie
I had a problem with xymon server (lost power while upgrading to Ubuntu9.10) and I had to re-install from scratch the OS. That part was easy enough, but I tried to keep all the history data, and I copied the folders into the new install. Today I realized that the folders have not been updated since I rebuilt the server because of wrong permissions, so I changed the owner to hobbit:hobbit as the other folders have, and the permission to 755. In my Ubuntu install the files are located in /var/lib/hobbit The folders I did this are: hist, histlogs, hostdata, rrd. I discover this today trying to figure out why the client is not working on the server. Fixing the permissions, fix my history reports (though I will have 36 days of no reports), but still the client information for the xymon server is not showing up, and neither are the extra scripts. With the client information I mean CPU, Disk, memory, apt. It looks like if the client was not reporting to the server (which should be localhost). I could not find how to check it out. I know how to configure BBWin since most of my network computers are Windows, but don't know much about the linux client, and it has always worked from the default install for me.

There may be more permissions to fix in the client directory structure. Check /var/lib/hobbit/client. Also, is the hobbitd_client process running?

Sorry, yes the hobbit_client process is running, but sleeping (which I guess is because it only runs every 5 minutes? All files in the /etc/hobbit are owned by root:root with permission 644, but I checked with another machine that only has the client running and it is the same, so it should be fine. /var/log/hobbit is owned by hobbit:adm and it has special permission. They also are the default permission. However, when I compared the actual server, with the other linux client (I have only 1 desktop running Linux), I realized that is not reporting the client test either. The linux desktop I installed the client yesterday, and I just added it yesterday to the xymon server. Here is the interesting, if I ping the server name (FQDN) it replies with a different FQDN. The linux server is used for several things so it has 3 FQDN for example (imagine my domain is contoso.com) Intranet.contoso.com ftp.contoso.com helpdesk.contoso.com those are the 3 DNS A records, however the server itself should be called intranet.contoso.com. Could the problem be that dns reports ftp.contoso.com when the server is intranet.contoso.com the problem?

The host name of the server isn't going to matter to the client, the client is configured to talk to the server via its IP address. Is the IP address of the server correct in the Linux client configuration file (in your case /etc/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg)? Check the ghost report on the server to see if any ghosts appear. Do they match any of the Linux clients that we are discussing?

I fixed it!! I went to /etc/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg, but I don't have that location, so I corrected the path to /etc/hobbit/hobbitclient.cfg, but I did not see anything that would produce the problem, but then I realized that it had an include at line 3 that is include /etc/default/hobbit-client So I opened the file and sure, it was there. The server is set to 127.0.0.1, but the client name had the computer name in the domain and not actually the domain we use externally (our web site domain and internal domain are different). So, thanks a lot Rich. I got it working. Now I will start adding some more checks on the server

OK I figured it out. It works differently from hobbit 4.2. In hobbit 4.2 it would put the comment as an actual set of characters on the page as in: Server_name (comment) But in Xymon, it shows up as a "text box", if you hold the cursor over the server name. The new html generated by bbgen creates these COMMENT fields in the html as: <span title="comment"> Server_name </span> So you no longer see them all the time on the web page. The bb-hosts documentation appears to need an update because it says: COMMENT:Host comment Adds a small text after the hostname on the webpage.

From the bbgen manpage: --tooltips=[always,never,main] Determines which pages use tooltips to show the description of the host (from the COMMENT entry in the bb-hosts(5) file). If set to always, tooltips are used on all pages. If set to never, tooltips are never used. If set to main, tooltips are used on the main pages, but not on the BB2 (all non-green) or NK (critical systems) pages. Add --tooltips=never to BBGENOPTS.

Hi all, AS someone else said today, I love this list. It turns out that the "tooltips" reference appears only in my actual bbgen man page, not the man page found under the help menu. Also, it does work to always present the COMMENT tag on the page, however it also grabs the text in the DESCR tag as well. So for "hosts" I want a DESCR to appear on the info page, it uses that to present on the page. This appears to be a bug. Can anyone verify that it happens in their installation of Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2?

I want to alert on the CONN tag if the ping time is over lets say 100ms. Is anyone doing that and how did they accomplish it? Thanks, Jason
list Bruce White
Malcolm, Thanks for pointing out the tooltips --never option. What I see is the text following COMMENT tags in the bb-hosts file displayed on the screen. If a host has no COMMENT tag, but a DESCR tag, then the text in the DESCR tag is displayed on the screen. This occurs no matter how the tooltips option is set, because on my second Xymon server, I see the DESCR tag in the text box, if a COMMENT tag is not present. Interestingly enough, the fields on the info page are populated correctly from the DESCR tag, with or without a COMMENT tag. I hope that makes it more clear.

Thanks, that's much clearer. This appears to be deliberate - line 483 of lib/htmllog.c was recently changed to: cmt = bbh_item(host, BBH_COMMENT); if (!cmt) cmt = bbh_item(host, BBH_DESCRIPTION); So if there's no COMMENT, it uses DESCR instead.

Malcolm, THANKS! I am not very good at reading C code, let alone figuring out how all the modules and functions in Xymon work together. This however is not what I want to hear. I'd like the DESCR tag to just be for the populating the info page fields and the COMMENT tag for appearing on the screen. The way older versions of hobbit worked. Thanks again,

So I made the following entries in the hobbit-clients.cfg on the
Hobbitserver, to filter out these messages:
HOST=%s068c32*
LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red IGNORE=ntpd
It does not work. The messages come up as an error anyway.
Here is my whole hobbit-clients.cfg

There may be less list due to the SA bug, but it's more likely that people are on vacation and not looking at their work email.

If this is true, then I am truly envious ;-)
At this point I don't believe there is any way to set a threshold for pings. Smokeping is better for that.
Do I then replace fping with smokeping? If so, how do I capture the additional data in a usable fashion?

Hello Thorsten, I have had similar issues previously with Postgres errors. I found it easier to have the log lines removed on the client side, saves the logs from even reaching the xymon server. This is going by memory as i am not in the office, but it should be something like the following in the client-local.cfg .. [sql0.my.net] log:/var/log/messages:10240 ignore ntpd Note, that this will strip out any lines with ntpd in it, so you may miss other issues related to ntpd. Hope this is a help Darrin 2010/1/7 <user-9219fb9415b1@xymon.invalid>:

Thanks Buchan; I've added the options you've mentioned, although from the commandline I do not see any difference in its output. One thing that I've noticed recently is that I in my newer setup, using xymon-4.3.0-0 beta 2, I no longer see a "conn" column, thus am unable to see ping stats at all. Am I missing an option to turn this on someplace? Thanks, .vadim

It's not the output that's the issue is it? Isn't it the time that it takes to time out that is the problem.

All; On my current BigBrother server, my BB server pings whatever server/device is being monitored, retaining the pings response time, which is then converted into LAARD for a pretty look. I *believe* the script that does this is ~bin/bb-network.sh Does anyone know can I can do the same with Xymon? Also, can I setup an icon/column just for tracking the ping "to" a non-client-installed remote IP? I.e., my ISP's border router far side IP. Am I trying to do this all wrong? Thanks, .vp

Yes it should. I fear I newer learn regex. :-)
Now this seem to work. But I have some troubles with other filter expressions and a general understanding question.
1. If I have more than one matching expression in hobbit-clients.cfg, which one(s) will be used:
HOST=s068a300
LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red IGNORE=%(smb_proc_readdir_long|peer)
HOST=s068a2.*
LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red IGNORE=%(bla|laber)
DEFAULT
LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red IGNORE="ignore always"
2. Do I have to use a regex if I have multiple words to detect, like on the first statement? If I have many words to filter out the IGNORE statement may become lengthy. Can I have multiple IGNOREs to get a better readability?
3. What is the syntax if I have spaces in the expression. Is it like the DEFAULT statement above?

Ah, this again... :-) This is a known problem with the alert mechanism. I posted an analysis of why (I believe) it happens in this mailing list message: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/07/msg00132.html Unfortunately, there appears to be no way in current state to work around the problem. -Alan
