Hello Xymon Support team,
Need your help in getting xymon up2date as per our requirements.
Let me brief you here for the current setup.
We have various sites/datacenters across the globe which includes servers (windows / Linux/Solaris physical servers and VMs, VMware ESX hosts) and network devices like switches, routers and firewall.
We need to monitor critical servers/VMs and network devices here.
In initial phase we could install, configure xymon older version ie 4.3.10 on a linux node at Hyderabad site.
We have added couple of windows and linux clients as of now.
Currently it is monitoring following components:
connection, cpu, disk, memory, messages, netstats (ports), processes, services, uptime, user-logins
I also tried to add a network switch device in xymon, however it shows conn is the only parameter to monitor.
Refer below screenshot, inhydswt3a is the network switch that we added.
Figure 2 shows: the trend it captured for switch.
Figure 3 shows the trend metrics report for TCP connections.
However, we are looking for more specific usage of xymon as a tool to monitor the virtual machines (windows and linux both) and the connection from other sites to find potentials problems and tracking of latency and throughput and provide a visible dashboard of that connection (and available latency/bandwidth if possible).
Kindly assist further how to achieve this. Is there any custom graphs/trends can be captured through xymon.
Figure1:
Figure 2: inhydswt3a is the network switch
Figure 3: hydmap01 is windows VM
Thanks,
Prachi

Hi Henrik,
I could manage installing xymon older version ie 4.3.10 on a linux node. And it is working now.

Hi Henrik,
I have applied the patch.
[root at hydxymon01 xymon-4.3.11]# patch -p0 < /tmp/attachment.diff
patching file xymongen/loaddata.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] y
[root at hydxymon01 xymon-4.3.11]#
Then restarted httpd and xymon services.
Tried to access http://3.185.120.18/xymon Or http://3.185.120.18/xymon/
Webpages, but getting PAGE not found error.
I altered the DocumentRoot in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to use following.
[root at hydxymon01 logs]# grep DocumentRoot /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
#DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
DocumentRoot "/home/xymon/server/www"
[root at hydxymon01 logs]#
Again restarted xymon and httpd services and launched the URL. Getting following error now.
[root at hydxymon01 logs]# tail -f error_log
[Tue Jul 09 13:45:07 2013] [error] [client 3.185.141.56] (13)Permission denied: access to /xymon denied
[Tue Jul 09 13:46:32 2013] [error] [client 3.185.141.56] (13)Permission denied: access to /xymon/ denied
Kindly advise.
Thanks,
Prachi

Hi, you use the 'patch' utility. Go to the xymon-4.3.11 directory and run 'patch -p0 < /tmp/attachment.diff'. Then run make and make install.
Regards,
Henrik

Hi Henrik,
Thank you for your response.
From the URL you sent, I could find download attachment : attachment.diff file
How shall I add the patch in my xymon installation. I tried to see the contents of the file and it says to unload and load loaddata.c module.
Kindly brief me the procedure to install the patch.

Hi,
4.3.11 has a known bug that may cause it to not generate the standard webpages. A fix was posted to the mailing list shortly after the release, you can find it here:
http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2013-April/037357.html <http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2013-April/037357.html>
If that doesn't solve the problem, please check your apache configuration - you need to add the Xymon apache config to the webserver.
Regards,
Henrik

However, I have started offering some support for Xymon - it will give you access to e-mail support for one year. Of course, I would appreciate it if You would choose this option - there is a bit more detail available at http://www.xymon.com/license/ <http://www.xymon.com/license/>

The client software for Unix-like systems is included with the core Xymon download; for Windows-systems, the BBWin client is also available for download (there is no licensing cost for using it).
