<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you, I appreciate your response.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I had to end up following the same route you guys did.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I updated the script to also test for security and cve updates<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Added two tests in the script, ‘yum list-security’, and ‘yum updateinfo list cves’ which will send alerts for me to action.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I hope this way is efficient, time will tell but the my non green view can be used effectively by our ops teams.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">we’re just using the yum/apt check as informational status since we are already patching on a regular schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Since we did not want the check to clutter the non-green page, we’ve just change all occurrences of yellow/red in the perl script to green.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This way the status will always be green, but you can still check available updates by clicking on it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Good day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hope all is well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I configured yum tests on all my Linux servers. The test works great. Problem is doesn’t matter how often you update the server, it wont be long before the yum test changes state.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We look at the non-green view to display current issues(on a large led screen), the non-green view will show all the servers that has a yellow or red alert associated with them, thus all the Linux servers will show.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The yum test is a script running on each server, configured clientlaunch.cfg for each server to run the script every n minites.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">My question is if it is possible to configure xymon to display all the yum related info for all servers on a page and exclude the yum tests from the different pages where the servers are configured?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Or if there is a solution out there that I can implement to keep the non-green view to show current related issues, please send link to a guide that can assist me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
