Hi all,

is there anyone that is using one script to check if root user is logged on Unix/Linux machines?
Or is there anyone that is using "xymond_rootlogin.pl" and can explain me how to use it?
Thanks in advance for the support.

I can't imagine it would be much different than any other external client script. What is the real question? What have you tried?

Hi,

I have tried to use "xymond_rootlogin.pl" but w/o any result.

I have copied it in .../xymon/server/ext/ and I have added the following to tasks.cfg.

[xymond_rootlogin]
        ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/xymond_rootlogin.pl
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond_rootlogin.log
        INTERVAL 1m

After these actions nothing happens that is no result at all (neither new login test, nor xymond_rootlogin.log file).

Where am I wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Massimo,

I'm unfamiliar with this extension, but all of the extension scripts
I've worked work essentially the same way -- you install the client
and then add them to the client as per the documentation. Rehashing
the documentation is not something I'm planning to do on the mailing
list, but I'm happy to help if you read it and something is unclear.

What are you trying to do with this test. Wouldn't it normally be
run on each client machine you're checking? In any case, my guess
is another logfile is logging something about it (maybe xymond.log

Actually, what you may be missing is that some external scripts are
run on the server, or the machine doing the network tests (they tend
to be scripts to test network services remotely). Most external
scripts I think, however, run as part of the Xymon client (which is

What are you trying to do with this test. Wouldn't it normally
be run on each client machine you're checking? In any case, my
guess is another logfile is logging something about it (maybe
xymond.log -- I forget the names off the top of my head).

The xymond_rootlogin.pl script is an example of a server-side external
script. It runs on the server at a single point and listens to the
incoming "client" stream. When it sees relevant data, it then fires off a
"status" command with details about that test.

In this respect, it's identical to how xymond_client works, and an example
of munging the raw data coming in in new and creative ways w/o having to
modify the client reporter.


[xymond_rootlogin]
ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
NEEDS xymond
CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/xymond_rootlogin.pl
LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond_rootlogin.log
INTERVAL 1m
Change CMD to
 CMD xymond_channel --channel=client $XYMONHOME/ext/xymond_rootlogin.pl

...and remove the INTERVAL line.


From the perl source, you should start seeing "login" statuses show up as
soon as the clients next report in.

IMHO, this script seems overkill, given what's now possible within Xymon
these days.  The "who" output is already available in the client data, and
could be extracted and analysed server-side with something like:

#!/bin/sh
HOSTLIST=`xymongrep rootcheck`
for HOSTNAME in $HOSTLIST; do
  WHO=`xymon localhost 'clientlog name.of.server section=who"`
  [ "$WHO" ] || continue # skip hosts without [who]
  if echo "$WHO" | grep "^root" >/dev/null; then
    MSG="status $HOSTNAME.root red root logins detected"
  else
    MSG="status $HOSTNAME.root green no root logins detected"
  fi
  xymon $XYMSRV "$MSG
$WHO"
done

This just finds all the hosts.cfg entries with "rootcheck" present, and
reports where "who" shows that root is logged in.  This would be run from
tasks.cfg.

Another way to do this, without having to create and maintain an actual
script file, is to use backticks to create a virtual log file entry in
client-local.cfg, like so:

log:`exec 2>/dev/null; { grep '^$' /tmp/who.log >/dev/null && >/tmp/who.log
|| echo "" >>/tmp/who.log; } && who >> /tmp/who.log && echo
/tmp/who.log`:10240

This collects lines from a virtual logfile /tmp/who.log, that contains the
who output.  This allows you to monitor the who logfile with analysis.cfg,
like so:

HOST=*
  LOG /tmp/who.log %^root COLOR=red TEXT="Root login detected"

This backticks scriptlet is a little complicated because it needs to make
sure the virtual logfile size changes every time, otherwise Xymon's
logfetch process might not detect any difference in the file and not report
anything.
