[Xymon] Devices do not appear to be updating

Wed Dec 18 13:11:11 CET 2013

You shouldn't need to unless %COMPUTERNAME% is not the same as your entry in hosts.cfg. Is it appearing in your Ghost Clients report?

Is BBWin creating files in the bbwin\tmp folder? Have you checked connectivity to the Xymon server:

Hi Jeremy,

Yes - Log-SVR is also a windows server. I've checked the BBWin.cfg files on both and both are the same

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<bbwin>
<setting name="bbdisplay" value="z.z.z.z" />

<!-- bbwin mode local or central -->
<setting name="mode" value="central" />
<setting name="configclass" value="win32" />

<setting name="autoreload" value="true" />
<setting name="timer" value="5m" />
<load name="cpu" value="cpu.dll"/>
<load name="disk" value="disk.dll"/>
<load name="externals" value="externals.dll"/>
<load name="filesystem" value="filesystem.dll"/>
<load name="memory" value="memory.dll"/>
<load name="msgs" value="msgs.dll"/>
<load name="procs" value="procs.dll"/>
<load name="stats" value="stats.dll"/>
<load name="svcs" value="svcs.dll"/>
<load name="uptime" value="uptime.dll"/>
<load name="who" value="who.dll"/>
<setting name="loglevel" value="3" />
<setting name="logpath" value="..\logs\BBWin.log"/>
<!-- If true, the agent will report reporting failures as warning events -->
<setting name="logreportfailure" value="false" />
</bbwin>
</configuration>

I've restarted the Big Brother Xymon service on the ACS-Svr and in the log file I get

2013/12/18 11:09:21 [INFO]: bbwin is stopped.
2013/12/18 11:09:22 [INFO]: [filesystem]: failed to load logfetch status C:\Program Files\BBWin\tmp\logfetch.status : The system cannot find the file specified.
2013/12/18 11:09:22 [INFO]: bbwin is started - using central configuration

I thought I'd restart the service on the Log-Svr and I get the same messages.....

Thanks

Your Xymon server isn't receiving any client messages from ACS-Svr. Is Log-Svr also a Windows server? If so, check that the client is configured the same way. Either way, check that your Xymon client (eg BBWin) is running and is not producing errors.

Morning

Firstly - just to pre-warn everyone, I'm pretty new to Xymon (and to mailing lists) - although so far it has been pretty easy to setup.

I'm slowly adding some windows servers. The last device I added last night doesn't seem to be adding any checks apart from the standard "conn", "info" and "trends"

My hosts.cfg file is as follows:

x.x.x.x Log-Svr # NOCOLUMNS:files
y.y.y.y ACS-Svr # NOCOLUMNS:files

My analysis.cfg file is as follows:

HOST=Log-Svr
 DISK C 80 90
 DISK E 80 90
 MEMPHYS 75 101
 MEMSWAP 75 85
 MEMACT 75 85
 SVC TermService
 SVC SNMP
 SVC CASDiscovery
 SVC CASUniversalAgent
 SVC CatTools
 SVC FileZilla_Server
 SVC Kiwi_Syslog_Server
 PROC snmp.exe 1 1
 PROC CatTools_Service.ex 1 1
 PROC CatTools_Client.exe
 PROC FileZilla server.exe 1 1
 PORT STATE=LISTENING LOCAL=%[.:](3389)$ TEXT=RemoteDesktop
 PORT STATE=LISTENING LOCAL=%[.:](445)$ TEXT=Microsoft-DS
 PORT STATE=LISTENING LOCAL=%[.:](21)$ TEXT=FTP

#ACS SERVER
HOST=ACS-Svr
 DISK C 80 90
 DISK E 80 90
 MEMPHYS 75 101
 MEMSWAP 75 85
 MEMACT 75 85
 SVC TermService
 SVC SNMP
 SVC CASDiscovery
 SVC CASUniversalAgent
 SVC CatTools
 SVC FileZilla_Server
 SVC Kiwi_Syslog_Server
 SVC SolarWinds_TFTP_Server
 PROC snmp.exe 1 1
 PROC CatTools_Service.ex 1 1
 PROC CatTools_Client.exe
 PROC FileZilla server.exe 1 1
 PORT STATE=LISTENING LOCAL=%[.:](3389)$ TEXT=RemoteDesktop
 PORT STATE=LISTENING LOCAL=%[.:](445)$ TEXT=Microsoft-DS
 PORT STATE=LISTENING LOCAL=%[.:](21)$ TEXT=FTP

Looking through all of the log files (/var/log/xymon/) I can't seem to find anything that would give me a clue about why this device isn't updating

Thanks everyone

Nilesh
