Hi everyone

2 days ago I updated xymon to the latest version:4.3.10 and for some reason unknown to me xymond stopped updating the hosts.cfg file.

Please see xymongen.log below:

2012-10-10 16:53:58 ->  Recipient '193.61.54.144', timeout 15
2012-10-10 16:53:58 ->  1st line: 'xymondboard fields=hostname,testname,color,flags,lastchange,logtime,validtime,acktime,disabletime,sender,cookie,line1,acklist'
2012-10-10 16:53:58 xymond status-board not available, code 7
2012-10-10 16:53:58 Failed to load current Xymon status, aborting page-update

Could somebody please help me?

Many thanks
Yanni

What is this server?  If this is your Xymon server, then what we have here
is a failure to communicate.  Given that there was a timeout (rather than a
rejected connection) I suspect a firewall or packet filter is dropping the
packets, or perhaps a routing problem.  Try to telnet to this IP address
from your Xymon server, and if that doesn't work, you know it's unlikely to
be a Xymon problem.

Aside from that, I'm confused.  Why would Xymon modify the hosts.cfg file?
Isn't that supposed to be edited by a human?

Hi

Sorry for the confusion. I was trying to say that xymond does not load the hosts.cfg file instead of it doesn't update hosts.cfg.

Yes this IP is my xymon server. I can telnet and ssh to the server from terminal with no problems.
For some strange reason the xymon main page does not get updated anymore. I have manually added a few more hosts in 'hosts.cfg' but they don't show up.

Also I have checked that
1) xymon.sh is running
2) SELINUX was disabled but iptables was not, so I have now turned iptables off as well but the problem persists. :(

I really don't know what is happening. If you have anymore suggestions please  let me know.

Many thanks
Yanni

Sorry, I meant to ask if you can  telnet to it on port 1984, rather than
the default telnet port.  So:

The Xymon page generator probably needs to query the xymond process using
port 1984 (using the xymon command).

Also I have checked that
1) xymon.sh is running

Is xymond running?

Let's try to reproduce the conditions that would have led to the error
message.  Try running this to see what it gives you:

xymoncmd xymon 193.61.54.144 'xymondboard fields=hostname,testname,**color

It seems that telnet works because it returns "connected to 
193.61.54.144", however it looks like it hangs after the:
(Escape character is '^]') line. I can type things but nothing is 
returned when I hit "Enter", only the cursor just goes to the next line.
I only use ssh so I can't tell if my telnet works properly.

This is what I get:

telnet 193.61.54.144 1984
Trying 193.61.54.144...
Connected to 193.61.54.144.
Escape character is '^]'.

Yes xymond is running. It's first on my "top" list:

(23182 xymon 25   0  7992 1984 1380 R   100.0    0.1   8286:29 xymond)


The command you asked me to run returns the following:

2012-10-15 10:00:10 Using default environment file

When I had accidentally restricted access to our Xymon server, I
received errors such as 'connection refused'. In your case you get a
timeout, which tends to imply it is not connecting. If iptables and
selinux have been stopped, then I would check the settings in the
'server/etc' files to ensure that your Xymon server is configured
correctly.

That's to be expected.  When doing a telnet test like this, you can get one
of three things:
* connection refused (nothing listening on that port)
* time-out (firewall dropping packets)
* connected (works)

You got the last one, so all good.

If you have netcat, try doing this:

$ echo xymondboard | netcat 193.61.54.144 1984

This should get you a list of hosts and their status.  The command might be
"nc" rather than "netcat".

Perhaps you have xymond running twice?  Stop xymond, and kill all remaining
xymond  processes before attempting to start it again.  Before starting,
you should see no output from this:

$ netstat -na|grep 1984.*LISTEN

OK, I downloaded and installed netcat and run the command: $ echo xymondboard | netcat 193.61.54.144 1984
waited for a couple of seconds but nothing was returned. I tried both 'netcat' and 'nc'.

I then killed all xymond jobs: $ killall -9 xymond

then run your netstat command: $ netstat -na|grep 1984.*LISTEN
and it returned:
$ tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1984 0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN

xymond is not anymore in my 'top' list.

$ps auf | grep xymond
returns:
$ xymon     1465  0.0  0.0   4012   664 pts/1    S+   14:35 0:00          \_ grep xymond

also xymon.sh is running

I am getting confused and the reason is that although I think I killed xymond now xymon seems to be working and the hosts.cfg file gets loaded. I removed and added a few hosts and the main xymon page gets updated now.
However my xymond is not happy because it's posting a yellow dizzy face.

Please see a few lines from xymonlaunch.log:

2012-10-16 11:07:41 FATAL: xymond sees clientcount 1, should be 0. Check for hanging xymond_channel processes or stale semaphores

2012-10-16 11:07:47 Setting up xymond channels
2012-10-16 11:07:47 Setting up logfiles

So why everything works after I killed all xymond???

I am super-confused.

That's not going to work. They both listen on the same port, which is
impossible. If you want to, you can use an alternate port for Xymon
and go that route.

Change the primary port, 1984 to a proxy. And move Big Brother to another port, and the new xymon to a separate port. Then the proxy forwards to those ports.

Hi

Yes our BB does listen to 1984 and most likely that was causing the 
problems I've been having lately.
Is it is easy to change xymon's port to something else?
Could you please let me know which config file I have to change?

Thank you

Xymon comes with a proxy.

You turn it on in tasks.cfg

First, set Big Brother to 1986, or something. Sorry, I don't know how to do that.

Second, set the xymon server to another port:

[xymond]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        CMD xymond --listen=0.0.0.0:1985 --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.pid --restart=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-file=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.log --admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$XYMONSERVERIP --store-clientlogs=!msgs

You'll also need to have xymonnet go to the right place.

[xymonnet]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD XYMONDPORT=1984 xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon-network.log
        INTERVAL 5m

And of course, the repeat process:

[xymonnetagain]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD XYMONDPORT=1984 $XYMONHOME/ext/xymonnet-again.sh
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonnet-again.log
        INTERVAL 1m

I would guess that Big Brother has the same sort of deal.

Then set the proxy on port 1984:

[xymonproxy]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        CMD $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonproxy --server=127.0.0.1:1985,127.0.0.1:1986 --listen=0.0.0.0:1984 --report=$MACHINE.xymonproxy --no-daemon --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.pid
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.log

Any recommendations on such software? I've not got a need for this
anymore, but I can see it coming in handy in the future.

There is no secondary xymon server but there is a big
brother running. My task at the moment is to gradually retire
big brother and move everything to Xymon but I still have a
LONG way to go.
That's not going to work. They both listen on the same port, which
is impossible. If you want to, you can use an alternate port for
Xymon and go that route.

Thanks Paul but that's a bit too advanced for me.
I'd rather use a different port for xymon for now at least.

I don't recall, but grepping the files for "1984" should turn it up
pretty quickly.

Hi

Yes our BB does listen to 1984 and most likely that was causing the

port to something else? Could you please let me know which config

Thank you
