[Xymon] xymondboard acklist data not available

[James Wood]

I've discovered what may be a bug in the xymondboard program.  The difference between RHEL5 & RHEL6 is just the way I have my hosts.cfg.

If the host is in the main hosts.cfg, I can use the below script to acknowledgment an alert.  If I use an "include hosts/filename" in my hosts.cfg, I am unable to acknowledge the alert.

Thanks,
James

Subject: [Xymon] xymondboard acklist data not available


I'm having a problem getting acknowledged alerts on the critical view from Xymon.

We're migrating from Solaris 10 and RHEL 5.7 to a single RHEL 6.2 server.  All servers are running Xymon version 4.3.7 compiled and installed from source.

I'm running into a problem with xymondboard.  If I run this command on the Solaris server or the RHEL 6.2 server it doesn't return any acklist data, but it works on RHEL 5.7.

./bin/xymon localhost "xymondboard fields=hostname,testname,acklist host=HOSTNAME"

RHEL5:  localhost|conn|1329871681:1329958081:1:jawood:test\n
RHEL6:  localhost|conn|

We use these results to populate the data for a custom view.  I need to figure out what's different between the versions of Redhat.

Thanks,

James
