Android 2.2 App

Hello, all. I wrote an android app to quickly assess status and issues. It basically parses the non-green view and generates a scrollable report. You can swipe each non-green test to open the service page for that test in a browser. This software is beta, but I'm reasonably certain it parses the non-green view for 4.2.3, 4.3.0, and 4.3.4 properly. Anyway, hope it's useful to someone.

About time! Thank you for coming out with a developed Android application! I tried the default www.xymon.org and kept getting black (though the last update time stamp was updating). Also did it with xymon.com. It also fails on my own Xymon server, it's 4.2.3. I can browse to the Xymon pages with the browser just fine. I am using Wifi on a Droid Pro running 2.3.3. I think it may be using HTTPS/SSL based on the errors that pop up for a quick second. I could be wrong. The SSL option is unchecked in settings.

Yeah, I noticed the SSL checkbox defaults to unchecked but SSL is initially enabled. Checking and then unchecking the checkbox seems to correct it.

I figured out that you can't just check it/uncheck it to take it off. You must check it, back out (maybe refresh is required here) and then uncheck it for it to work. I can't get my own server to work, though. There are no errors - just saying it is black. I triple checked my login credentials (it is HTTP auth, is that what it expects)?

I saw that logo, but despite being a highly-targetted app, I was doing
my best not to imply that this was an "official" xymon app of any sort.
The method Maik Heinelt describes for using that logo essentially makes
that logo a shortcut to xymon proper via browser. I really don't want
to get into the messy area where people feel hard-done-by. I think I
would have to hear from someone capable of authorizing that logo for
this app before I would do that.
That being said, I'm not strongly attached to the logo I drew in gimp in
about three minutes. ;) If anyone with actual talent wants to donate a
new logo, or someone can officially sanction the use of Maik Heinelt's,
I'm all for it.

This may be true. Please keep in mind I wrote this last week in spare time, and it is far from resilient. I've fixed the SSL default, but I am in the middle of refactoring the parsing to make different versions more easily supportable, so I haven't spammed an update yet. Soon.

What version of xymon are you running? And what version of XymonQV? It is basic http auth (hopefully over ssl). However, the interval by default is Manual, which means just configuring settings will not update the status. Either setting the update interval or clicking refresh will be required. If you've done that, and it still doesn't load any data, I'd suggest first checking xymon server logs and verifying requests are / are not being sent. It should be pretty resilient to tcp/http errors, and give warnings for most connection / authentication / dns resolution errors. Feel free to email me off-list if you want me to help you troubleshoot. Cheers, Darrik

I'm seeing the same with 4.3.0 (default with Ubuntu 11.04). The only thing in the web server log is a request for /bb2.html. No authentication is configured, or required. I'm in the process of upgrading to 4.3.5 to see if that fixes the problem (though it's wiped my Xymon settings and history, so it may be a few hours before I get a chance to report). -- Please keep list traffic on the list.

Xymon 4.3.5 isn't officially supported yet, but it'll run with the parser for 4.3.4. I tested this against www.xymon.org. I *just* a few minutes ago pushed v0.1.6, which includes preference fixes and an additional preference to let you force it to use a specific parser for a version. There are currently only two parsers (4.2.3 and 4.3.4). 4.2.3 *should* work for 4.3.0 and 4.3.4 *should* work for 4.3.5. If anyone uses another version of Xymon and can confirm a specific parser works for their version (i.e. 4.2.3 works for 4.2.4 or something), I'll add that to the code. If anyone has a version that doesn't work for either current parser, feel free to give me details (idealy, a gzip'd copy of the non-green view, but I understand if that information is sensitive) and I'll do my best to add support. If anyone wants to contribute, feel free to submit pull requests to the github repository. http://github.com/darrikmazey/XymonQV

Unfortunately I only have 2 simple choices - the Ubuntu package (4.3.0) or the PPA (4.3.5). Forcing 4.3.4 I get a force close - looks like it's looking for /, and in my case Xymon is actually in a sub-directory. With the old version looking for /bb2.html I could remap that at least. I'll set up a virtual host for Xymon and try again - thanks.

If you get a force close, please please please send the error report. I can see the stack traces and get some idea of why at that point. Also, technically you can add path information to the hostname setting, e.g. www.xymon.org/xymon

Done - I always do since otherwise how can I expect developers to be able to fix things ;)

That's useful to know, however setting up a virtual host solved the problem and with the 4.3.4 parser it works perfectly. Thanks very much.

The path addition wasn't by design but accidentally works. ;) Version 4.3.5 will officially be supported by the 4.3.4 parser in v0.1.7, so you won't have to force a version. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Darrik, this is very nice - I was hoping someone would come up with an Android app for Xymon. I cannot get the swipe to work on my Sony-Ericsson Xperia Mini, though. It just doesn't do anything. One thing I'd really like to see was if it could use the "critical systems" instead of the "all non-green" page for data. I understand that parsing data off the webpage is problematic, and I am sure we can find better ways of feeding this data to an application. And perhaps that would be the easiest way to make your app work with different datasets - agreeing on a standard (probably XML) way of exporting the data, and then having the Xymon server generate this with the data that would either go on the non-green page, or the critical systems page, or perhaps just data on any given page in the web UI (I have some folks who would love to check just their little corner of Xymon via a Smartphone app). Of course, being able to acknowledge an alert and/or disable it directly from my smartphone would also be fabulous ...

Critical systems is already planned. Started with non-green simply because I don't monitor enough systems to use the critical systems page.

A friend and I discussed this, and we decided alerts were already configured in a central location in xymon itself, so duplicating that feature wasn't really necessary or desired. I know my xymon install already sends me sms alerts, and I assume everyone else's does as well. Of note, the auto-update only runs when the activity is on the screen and stops if you navigate to another activity. If enough people want in-app notifications, I will gladly provide them. However, alerting conditions are far more configurable via xymon proper than they can be in the app while still being convenient, so it really probably isn't worth it.

I was hoping to get a yellow notification and red notification/sound. In the office or around the building I have wifi, but no connection to the mobile network. Without any notification on the app, what is the purpose of this? I guess I would be able to examine it a bit more if it worked for me =)

Hello, all. I wrote an android app to quickly assess status and issues. It basically parses the non-green view and generates a scrollable report. You can swipe each non-green test to open the service page for that test in a browser. This software is beta, but I'm reasonably certain it parses the non-green view for 4.2.3, 4.3.0, and 4.3.4 properly. Anyway, hope it's useful to someone.

One thing I'd really like to see was if it could use the "critical systems" instead of the "all non-green" page for data.Critical systems is already planned. Started with non-green simply because I don't monitor enough systems to use the critical systems page.
My situation is the opposite - I monitor too many systems for the "All non-green" page to be of any use. I still think it would be a good idea to have Xymon and your app talk together using a simpler, more standard interface than parsing the HTML output from the webpage. That would also make it much easier to support different types of pages, like the critical systems page, or just a single sub-page somewhere inside the Xymon page-tree - they would all provide data in the same format, so your app would auto-magically work with any page, allowing the user to pick any page they want to check.

I agree. The parsing is spotty and vulnerable to the slightest changes across versions. I checked out the xymon code from svn and will look it over a bit. I wouldn't mind helping to implement some other data formats, if that's what you want.

No, this format is fairly static - and you can make it entirely "fixed" by adding a "fields" option to select the data-items you are interested in. But to pick only the hosts that appear on a specific page must be done on the Xymon server - you don't want to download a lot of info to the smartphone, just to throw it away later (unless you have a flat-rate data plan for your smartphone, and I don't). And when we have to code the filtering, we may just as well add the code to provide the data in a standardized format. Something similar to the xymondxboard output, probably. Regards, Henrik

I was just thinking that xymondboard might be a good starting point for an
API. I just put a very simple CGI script on my server:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo ""
/home/xymon/server/bin/xymon localhost "xymondboard $QUERY_STRING"
then called it using curl:
curl -s -S -L "http://server.domain.com/xymon-cgi/xap.sh?color=red";
curl -s -S -L "http://server.domain.com/xymon-cgi/xap.sh?color=yellow";
curl -s -S -L "http://server.domain.com/xymon-cgi/xap.sh?color=purple";
Piping those through "wc" I get a total of 3305 bytes for all three.
Fetching the non-green page:
curl -s -S -L "http://server.domain.com/xymon/nongreen.html";
gives me 30070 bytes. Obviously that's going to depend on reporting
activity - I currently only have 14 lines in the "events received in the
past 240 minutes" block.

Hi there, nice to see there's a discussion starting about an API. I wasn't aware of the [hobbit|xymon]dboard command, but after a few tests, I found an hobbitdxboard on my (obviously) older hobbit/xymon server. I don't know if that xboard command made it into newer xymon, it returns a self-explanatory XML structure, which could be easily parsed. Put an additional XML Header, add a DTD and you're finally done Inspired by your scriptlet, I've done a very similar one: #!/bin/sh echo "Content-type: text/xml" echo "" /usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/bb localhost "hobbitdxboard $QUERY_STRING" -- Stephan Seitz Senior System Administrator netz-haut GmbH multimediale kommunikation Zweierweg 22 97074 Würzburg Telefon: 0931 2876247 Telefax: 0931 2876248 Web: www.netz-haut.de Amtsgericht Würzburg – HRB 10764 Geschäftsführer: Michael Daut, Kai Neugebauer Am Donnerstag, den 03.11.2011, 09:29 -0400 schrieb Ralph Mitchell:

I wonder if it wouldn't just be less confusing to the end user to just add an optional Path setting for people with xymon installed somwhere other than top-level on the given hostname. "URL" implies the entire path, hostname, and protocol/scheme, so I'd hate to use that label.

This is all correct. Browser works.

I do have a redirect, that's for sure. I forced it to 4.2.3 and I still get a blank pop up.
If you're still having trouble, maybe tar.gz a copy of both / and bb2.html, so I can see if that's it.

Hi Darrik, this is very nice - I was hoping someone would come up with an Android app for Xymon. I cannot get the swipe to work on my Sony-Ericsson Xperia Mini, though. It just doesn't do anything. One thing I'd really like to see was if it could use the "critical systems" instead of the "all non-green" page for data. I understand that parsing data off the webpage is problematic, and I am sure we can find better ways of feeding this data to an application. And perhaps that would be the easiest way to make your app work with different datasets - agreeing on a standard (probably XML) way of exporting the data, and then having the Xymon server generate this with the data that would either go on the non-green page, or the critical systems page, or perhaps just data on any given page in the web UI (I have some folks who would love to check just their little corner of Xymon via a Smartphone app).
or via a different web interface. But, besides exposing (for example) the current *xboard and *xlog functions, more functionality is required to present data in the organisation used by the 'main view' (while the page is accessible, I believe grouping isn't). Also, ideally the data being access should be filtered by what the authenticated user is authorized to see. Regards, Buchan

OK - how about this ? This one gives you the same information as the "non-green" page, except I've added the acknowledgment cookie and (if available) the text and time of an existing ack: http://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/appfeed.sh And this one shows the "critical systems" view: http://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/appfeed-critical.sh Regards, Henrik

Those look like they should do nicely! Is the "cookie" field what is used in the ack form as Number_X, in order to post acks? Also, any chance we can get AckedBy as a separate field? Darrik

I'm going to implement support for this now, with an option to select critical or non-green views. The app will first test for these new api targets, and fall back on html parsing as a last-ditch effort. Should have that done this weekend, with any luck. Cheers,

Yes.

It's not stored inside Xymon as separate data, but since the format is usually defined by the Xymon ack-tools, it shouldn't be a problem to split this out in a separate <AckedBy> property. I'll get that done over the weekend.

Could you possibly add a text entry field which is sent along with the web request as "filter" ? E.g. if I set this field to "page=servers", then you'll request "http://www.xymon.com/cgi-bin/appfeed.sh?filter=page=servers"; This is because I want to be able to pull data using a different filter than the default "color=red,yellow,purple" when fetching data from xymond via the "xymondboard" command. E.g. if I want to see all the critical hosts, but only for the hosts that are on the "servers" subpage, I can add a "page=servers" and I'll only get the hosts that are on that page - and it would be really cool for some of my users to do that, because we've grouped all hosts managed by a particular group on different pages. There are some issues about this interface when it comes to security - there is currently no access control possible except an "all/none" switch - you can either see any host that Xymon monitors, or you cannot see anything at all. That is a problem with all the Xymon CGI tools, really. It isn't something that this app should be concerned with, it must be solved on the Xymon server. Regards, Henrik

Will do. Are there other possible keys for filter? (Thinking of a more intuitive interface than just entering filter text.)

I already had this request as well, so that's fantastic! Thanks, Henrik. Quick turnaround. I should have a version of XymonQV out this weekend to use this interface. Any chance I can get the source of appfeed.sh and appfeed-critical.sh so I can test somewhere other than xymon.com? I check svn but didn't see them committed.

There are - you can filter on pages, hostnames and testnames. See the description of the "xymondboard" command in th xymon(1) man-page - it's on http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/manpages/man1/xymon.1.html The man-page says that "wildcards are not supported". That's wrong, I'll have to fix that. The page/host/test strings are regular expressions, so you could use "host=www.*com" to get all hosts with a hostname that begins with "www" and ends with "com".

I just uploaded them a few minutes ago, they are in SVN now. It's web/appfeed.c which does most of the work, and then web/appfeed.sh as a wrapper for the CGI. appfeed-critical.sh is identical to appfeed.sh, except that it adds a "--critical=/etc/xymon/critical.cfg" option.
You can install it on top of any 4.3.x installation by building it, and then copying web/appfeed.cgi to ~xymon/server/bin/, and appfeed*.sh to ~xymon/cgi-bin/ . And add the line
CGI_APPFEED_OPTS="--env=$XYMONENV"
to your cgioptions.cfg file, or the appfeed CGI might not pick up the right settings from your Xymon setup.

Henrik

Hi Henrik... I am excited to see such a quick reaction to Darrik's Android app! I just checked out the xymon /trunk tree via svn, configured, compiled and copied the files and edited cgioptions.cfg as described and restarted xymon. However, unless I am doing something wrong, I can not get the ?filter=... option to actually filter anything. it seems that xymon-cgi/appfeed.sh?filter=[page|host|color]=[mypagename|myhost|mycolor] like: xymon-cgi/appfeed.sh?filter=color=purple or xymon-cgi/appfeed.sh?filter=host=myhost.domain.tld Always returns all non-green tests.

Forking the Android thread as this is a different direction :) I've Android 2.3.3 on a Motorola Droid 2 Global and figured, what the hey, let's try it: it installs from the market, and while the first version crashed on startup, it accepts settings and runs. But when I open it (with my settings), it detects my Xymon version correctly but gives only STATUS: UNKNOWN. I think it's hitting my site - I see at the top above Status xymon.mydoma.in:8080 (4.3.0) And I am indeed running 4.3.0. I can also hit the site from the phone's browser with no issues. - What could be so different from .2 to .3.3 that could break it like this..? - Is there anything I can do or info I could send you that would help? ~ Rob

The app works just fine on my Atrix with Android 2.3.4.
Can you see your web server logs?? Anything in the error log?? What page request shows in the access log??

Hmm, no entries except maybe Apache doesn't like how the app is trying to access things... this is in error.log:
Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/
That's the only log entry remotely near my hitting Refresh in the app. Nothing in the Xymon logs, nothing in Access either (which fits with the app being negged).

Does your /var/www directory have an index.html file? If not, soft-link
that to xymon.html:
cd /var/www
ln -s xymon.html index.html
The app gets http://server.domain.com/ first. If index.html exists, the
web server will send that in response. If it doesn't exist, the web server
will just generate a directory listing, but *only* if directory index is
allowed by an Options directive.

Yeah, things have been rapid the last couple days. One issue that was happening (and I suspect is your case) is that if the app got a bad status response under certain conditions, it would fail to make another outgoing connection. This will be fixed, and after 0.2.0 is out, I will have time to go over any debug logs anyone wants to send me, and iron out any individual issues. :) Hope it works for you (eventually) and is worth the trouble.

I just committed a new version of the "appfeed" CGI to SVN, which has support for the "filter" parameter. This version also includes a "--hobbit" option, so it can be used on top of a 4.2.x Xymon server. I guess that might be useful to those who haven't yet upgraded. Regards, Henrik
