<div dir="ltr">Hey all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is probably an old issue but I didn't see a way to search the archives.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our xymon server is showing purple indicators for two of our custom scripts</div>
<div>but only on a handful of systems. I've found differences in file location, file</div>
<div>ownership, UID, GID, etc.. but so far none of that seems to be the problem.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The custom script checks raids. Strangely, all of the stagnant hosts show</div>
<div>the same three disks entries from mid-July no matter how many disks they</div>
<div>really have. Unfortunately I don't know what may've happened in July; that</div>
<div>was before I started working here. I suspect the xymon-client software was</div>
<div>copied from a live system, including the old status reports, but in so doing</div>
<div>something wasn't re-configured correctly for the new systems.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Even stranger, at my urging the Lead SA undisabled the purple notifications.</div>
<div>I was expecting the page to go purple but it remains green even though the</div>
<div>page isn't updating. At the bottom of the incorrect raid report page there is a</div>
<div>link to "client data". If I follow the link I get a full report <u>including the correct,</u></div>
<div><u>current raid information</u>!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think this means that the client is capturing the correct data and sending</div>
<div>it to the server, the server is actually receiving the report, but after that the</div>
<div>raid report isn't being handled correctly. Other systems display as expected.</div>
<div>So far I haven't found anywhere on the server that the purple systems are</div>
<div>configured or handled differently.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I doubt we're the first to experience this problem. Does this sound familiar?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance for any hints you can provide for where to look next.</div>
