Issues/confusion with 4.3.3
list James B. Huber
Hi folks, Have been using BigBrother, then Hobbit, now Xymon for many years. I recently built a new machine and did a clean install/build of xymon 4.3.3 and am having some issues/confusion I hope the list can help me with. My first major issue is with the "clamd" service check, this worked fine under Fedora-13 and Xymon-4.2.3, however (new O/S is RHEL 6.0 Workstation) with Xymon 4.3.3 all it does is fail saying: "Service unavailable (Connection refused)".... I can telnet to port 3310, type "PING" and it comes back with "PONG" which is what the protocols.cfg says...I have tried turning off "banner", no help....I am doubtless missing something simple... FYI, all the other service check I use work fine (IE: DNS, IMAP, NTP, SMTP)....WHat am I missing ? Regards, and TIA, Jim --

It is odd. The other services you mention working, these are on the same host as the clamd? If not, try one just to see that something works. When you say you can telnet to the clamd port, is that from the xymon server as the xymon (or whichever) user? Have you tried a simple connection - no send/expect?

Hi Phil, Yes the services that are working are on the same server, it is the xymon server, and indeed as the xymon user I can telnet to the machines's IP on the port of clamd and it works just fine... Doesn't make any sense to me, I go back to 4.2.3 and it works fine. Got to be something simple I am overlooking or the clamd service check in xymon isn't actually going to the IP of the machine...but I've got no clue how to debug that and see what it thinks it is trying to open the connection to.

Hi Jim,
I'm pretty new to xymon so don't know the guts yet... But, just in
general troubleshooting mode - try just a connection only test:
[clamd]
port 3310
See if that works. Have you tried using the --debug option for
xymonnet? It does give quite a bit of info.
cheers.
