I am in the process of upgrading my hobbit servers to xymon. I started
with a new (replacement) network test server, since I thought that'd
be simplest to update invisibly to my users. I'm running Xymon 4.3.5
on NetBSD 5.1.
# /usr/pkg/libexec/xymon/xymongrep bgp
2011-10-20 10:40:41 Cannot load
/usr/pkg/libexec/xymon/server/etc/hosts.cfg, or file is empty
And my DISPLAY server says (as I'm not allowing the new server to talk
to it yet):
Latest errormessages:
Refused message from 129.186.6.39: config hosts.cfg
Running ktrace on xymongrep, it isn't ever looking at the local file
or even trying to, it's only ever trying to fetch it from the DISPLAY.
# /usr/pkg/libexec/xymon/xymongrep --hosts=/usr/pkg/etc/xymon/hosts.cfg bgp
2011-10-20 10:48:05 Cannot load /usr/pkg/etc/xymon/hosts.cfg, or file is empty
I've set HOSTSCFG, I've made sure hosts.cfg is in
/usr/pkg/etc/xymon/hosts.cfg and
/usr/pkg/libexec/xymon/server/etc/hosts.cfg is a link to that. The
xymon user has access/ownership all the way along both paths.
# grep bgp /usr/pkg/etc/xymon/hosts.cfg
0.0.0.0 name1.iastate.edu # ciscocpu bgp noclear
0.0.0.0 name2.iastate.edu # ciscocpu bgp noclear
0.0.0.0 name3.iastate.edu # ciscocpu bgp noclear
0.0.0.0 name4.iastate.edu # ciscocpu bgp noclear
(masked out IPs & names for our bgp routers.)
What did I miss in my configuration?
Thanks,
Tracy
