Just to complete the loop here, the 4.3.6 upgrade fixed all the issues I was seeing. Guess whatever was fixed with the host loading fixed my issues.<div><br></div><div>Skadz</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 2:12 PM, Martin Flemming <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin.flemming@desy.de">martin.flemming@desy.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi, Ryan !<br>
<br>
I've got till one hour before the same issues and was completley unlucky like you :-(<br>
<br>
Unfortunatley i didn't know how i solve it but now it runs like a charme ...<br>
<br>
But i think it was something with xymonlaunch and the start-script ...<br>
<br>
Please debug the scripts<br>
<br>
/etc/init.d/xymon and /usr/lib/xymon/server/bin/<u></u>xymon.sh<br>
<br>
with set -x and watch the logfiles<br>
<br>
maybe & hopefully it helps ..<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>

Any help here? I've tried a number of different things to attempt to solve these on my own, but nothing has worked. Any help would<br>
be greatly appreciated.<br>
Thanks!<br>

Hi All -<br>
I've been running hobbit/xymon for a long time, but I've finally just joined the list due to a number of issues after I<br>
upgraded from 4.2.3 to 4.3.5. I walked through and fixed all the file names and everything SEEMS ok, but am seeing a number<br>
of strange things:<br>
<br>
a) When I start up xymon, I don't get my previous state back. The xymond options have:<br>
<br>
--restart=/usr/lib/xymon/<u></u>server/tmp/xymond.chk<br>
--checkpoint-file=/usr/lib/<u></u>xymon/server/tmp/xymond.chk<br>
<br>
And the files has data:<br>
<br>
8136 /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/<u></u>xymond.chk<br>
<br>
But when I restart the server or service, I seem to lose all data and anything that has been disabled or acked is now once<br>
again back to it's starting state.<br>
<br>
b) I can't seem to add new machines. I add a machine to hosts.cfg and analysis.cfg and it shows up on the web page, but it<br>
never seems to actually receive any data. I've tried reloading the service, but that doesn't seem to help. I even tried<br>
something like:<br>
<br>
xymon localhost 'enable <a href="http://machine.company.com" target="_blank">machine.company.com</a>'<br>
<br>
But it did not help. I see on the Ghost client page that it seems to recognize the correlation as it has a candidate, but<br>
isn't doing anything. Do I need to do something different with this newer version to enable a machine instead of just adding<br>
it to the two files?<br>
<br>
c) Last issue is very similar to the previous issue. I removed a machine from the hosts.cfg file, then ran:<br>
<br>
xymon localhost 'drop <a href="http://machine.company.com" target="_blank">machine.company.com</a>'<br>
<br>
But when it didn't check in for an hour, it still seemingly went purple and sent out emails/pages. I did a reload on the<br>
service and this now seems to have stopped, but I don't think it should have happened in the first place.<br>
<br>
d) I get startup errors that don't seem to make a ton of sense:<br>
<br>
In xymonlaunch.log, I see:<br>
<br>
2011-10-25 12:11:51 xymonlaunch starting<br>
2011-10-25 12:11:51 Loading tasklist configuration from /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/<u></u>tasks.cfg<br>

2011-10-25 12:11:51 Setting up signal handlers<br>
2011-10-25 12:11:51 Setting up xymond channels<br>
2011-10-25 12:11:51 Setting up logfiles<br>
<br>
<br>
As I said, I am seeing all of the hosts that I have in the system and have double checked the permissions and the xymon user<br>
can most definitely access all of the files, so why am I getting these errors?<br>
<br>
[xymon@vir5ob xymon]$ whoami<br>
xymon<br>
[xymon@vir5ob xymon]$ wc -l /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/<u></u>xymond.chk <br>
8136 /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/<u></u>xymond.chk<br>
[xymon@vir5ob xymon]$ ls -als /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/<u></u>xymond.chk <br>
31756 -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 32474378 Oct 26 17:54 /usr/lib/xymon/server/tmp/<u></u>xymond.chk<br>
<br>
I am also seeing:<br>
<br>
2011-10-26 17:54:50 Cannot load host data<br>
<br>
in my xymond.log every 10 minutes. As I said, any files seem to be accessible as far as I can tell, but maybe since the error<br>
message is not very verbose, I am not looking in the right place.<br>
<br>
I know these probably all seem like newbie questions, but I have done all the debugging I seem to be able to do and can't<br>
figure anything out on these. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Skadz<br>
