Subject: subcolumns and display issue
To: xymon at xymon.com


Hi,
we have xymon4.2.2 and rhel 5.2 os. we have a server and 100 clients.

We have 3 sub clusters and above bb-host file. Now our problem is that we
have restriction on subcolumns argument to BBGENOPTS as this is common for
all three subcluster pages..so if we want to add one extra test in one of
the subcluster, we need to increase subcolumns aruments..e.g.all subclusters
have 8 tests, so subcolumns=8, now if we want to configure one more test in
subcluster2 only, how we should do that? because if we do subcolumns=9, all
our display page will be disturbed as there are 8 tests for subcluster1 and
3 and 9 tests for subcluster2. So how to add or remove any service without
disturbing the main display


our hostfile is like:


page rack001 <I>Compute cluster</I>

title <I>Compute Nodes</I>

subpage rack900 <I>Row1-Rack6</I>    conn
group-only conn
172.29.1.49   node49.mgmt.acc.in    #
172.29.1.50   node50.mgmt.acc.in    #
172.29.1.51   node51.mgmt.acc.in    #
172.29.1.52   node52.mgmt.acc.in    #
172.29.1.53   node53.mgmt.acc.in    #
172.29.1.54   node54.mgmt.acc.in    #

subpage rack901 cpu
group-only cpu

0.0.0.0 node49.mgmt.acc.in    # noconn

0.0.0.0 node53.mgmt.acc.in    # noconn
0.0.0.0 node54.mgmt.acc.in    # noconn
....and so on

?


Kindly help

What you're trying to do is not really the way the Xymon webpages
was thought out to be. Xymon treats a single host as a whole,
you want to see services instead. So you have ssh for all of the
hosts in one group, conn for all of the hosts in another and so
on. The Xymon webpages works differently - it will group by
host, not by service.

So this issue is not resolved in 4.3.x, and unless someone
provides a different tool for building the webpages, it will
not be resolved. The standard bbgen tool cannot be made to
work the way you want it to.


Regards,
Henrik

you might want to hold that for a few days, or at least I would
urge you to grab the current Subversion code instead of beta2.

I expect to give my official blessings to a new test-version 
sometime next week, so it will be much more interesting if
the problem occurs with the current code also.

Please include the output from the "bt" gdb-command also.

What revision are you using?
I had issues with r6376 - r6402.
r6376 put in a stackio change that caused crashes - for me anyway.
I have r6415 running and working great.
