[Xymon] analysis.cfg checks failing

[John D. Alexander]

Vernon,

Right you are!  Gahh..  It was staring at me the whole time as I was comparing the file between a working server and this one.

Thanks much.  It’s those little details.

Hi John

HOST=foo
        PROC   /usr/bin/mysql           1 -1 red

No = in the PROC line.

From the top comments in analysis.cfg
#    PROC processname minimumcount maximumcount color [TRACK=id] [TEXT=displaytext]
#             The "ps" listing sent by the client will be scanned for how many
#             processes containing "processname" are running, and this is then
#             matched against the min/max settings defined here. If the running
#             count is outside the thresholds, the color of the "procs" status
#             changes to "color".
#             To check for a process that must NOT be running: Set minimum and
#             maximum to 0.
#
#             "processname" can be a simple string, in which case this string must
#             show up in the "ps" listing as a command. The scanner will find
#             a ps-listing of e.g. "/usr/sbin/cron" if you only specify "processname"
#             as "cron".
#             "processname" can also be a Perl-compatiable regular expression, e.g.
#             "%java.*inst[0123]" can be used to find entries in the ps-listing for
#             "java -Xmx512m inst2" and "java -Xmx256 inst3". In that case,
#             "processname" must begin with "%" followed by the reg.expression.
#             If "processname" contains whitespace (blanks or TAB), you must enclose
#             the full string in double quotes - including the "%" if you use regular
#             expression matching. E.g.
#                 PROC "%hobbitd_channel --channel=data.*hobbitd_rrd" 1 1 yellow
#             or
#                 PROC "java -DCLASSPATH=/opt/java/lib" 2 5
Regards
Vernon

All,

I’ve just installed Xyon onto CentOS 7 (x86_64).  As usual, it’s working like a charm, except..

HOST= lines in analysis.cfg are not being evaluated.  An example:

HOST=server.mydomain.com<http://server.mydomain.com>
                PROC=mysql

The server is defined in hosts.cfg and MariaDB is running on the server, but the procs remain clear saying “No process checks defined”

Anyone got any insight?

TIA.
