[Xymon] Openfiler

[SebA]

Hi Malcom,
 
Sorry about the delay in replying.  I didn't see your message until now.
I've altered my rules to try and help in the future.
 
I did update several components of Openfiler recently, so although rPath may
be dieing and Openfiler may be moving to CentOS, I think this procedure
should still work...
 
It does not look like I edited these, but anyway:
 
My /etc/conaryrc:
installLabelPath openfileresa.rpath.org at esa:openfileresa-3.0
pinTroves (kernel|linux-image-2\.6\.[0-9]+-[0-9]+(-[a-z]+)?)([:-].*|$)
includeConfigFile /etc/conary/config.d/*

My /etc/conary/config.d/openfiler:

installLabelPath  <mailto:openfileresa.rpath.org at esa:openfileresa-3.0>
openfileresa.rpath.org at esa:openfileresa-3.0
<mailto:foresight.rpath.org at fl:2-qa> foresight.rpath.org at fl:2-qa
<mailto:conary.rpath.com at rpl:2> conary.rpath.com at rpl:2
autoResolve True

Sadly, the crucial part of what I did has gone out of my history now and my
PuTTY logs are a little unclear, but it looks like I did something like:
 
# conary update gcc
# conary update python ## not required for xymon, was for the script I was
going to write
# conary update libtool
# conary update glib
# conary update automake
# conary update autoconf
# conary update pkgconfig
# conary update subversion
 
Now you probably have enough to build xymon-client, but as an example I'll
include the next line (the next thing I did) where I specified the
repository because it was not in the default repositories:
# conary update freetds=foresight.rpath.org at fl:2-devel/1-1-1 
 
And now we can build xymon-client like so (I probably should have done more
as the xymon user, but hey):
 
# useradd xymon
# cd /home
# cd xymon/
# svn co https://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xymon/trunk xymon-trunk
# chown -R xymon:xymon xymon-trunk
# cd xymon-trunk/
# ./configure --client
# make
# chown -R xymon:xymon *
# make install
# su xymon
# /home/xymon/client/runclient.sh start

Bear in mind that the procedure for building xymon-client has changed
recently I think, so you will need to check that.  Oh, and of course you
need to configure some xymon conf files!
 
Hope this helps, but if you really need the binaries, I could find some way
to upload and share them...

Kind regards, 

Sebastian

Hi SebA

rPath is pretty much dead now so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the
components I need to build. If you have the Xymon binaries, they'll probably
work as the OS base for OF is pretty static.

Thanks
Malcolm

I compiled xymon-client on Openfiler to get the drbd client plug-in working.
However it was ages ago and I can't remember how I did it.  I know I created
a xymon user, installed svn, checked-out xymon-trunk, installed a compiler
and other build tools and compiled and installed the client.  I think some
things were available from the Openfiler respositories and some I had to get
from other similar rPath Linux repositories.  It was quite a work-up!  Let
me know if you want to go down this route instead of xymon-rclient and I'll
see if I can get further info.

Kind regards, 

SebA

You don't actually need to compile anything.  If you can ssh to the
Openfiler with ssh keys, you should be able to use this:

Hi,

Does anyone have Xymon client running on Openfiler? I have no idea how to
get the prerequisites to compile it on the appliance and my CentOS built
client doesn't start.

Thanks
