[Xymon] Xymon Setup

Fri Sep 19 20:56:56 CEST 2014

Hi Guys

I’m down to having this error.  I know it’s due to a permission either on a folder or config file.

You don't have permission to access /xymon/xymon.html on this server.

Am I correct in saying that Apache wants to hit the xymon web page but it has not access hence the error.?

Looks to me like (the xymonserver.cfg variable) $XYMON isn't defined with an absolute path, and (the environment variable) $PATH does not include ~xymon/server/bin.

That's weird.  The error message says that it's trying to load the task defined in tasks.cfg section [xymon].  My tasks.cfg has no [xymon].  The nearest match is [xymond].  Similarly, the command 'xymon' would have been defined in a "CMD" line, and my tasks.cfg has no such line.

You should check your tasks.cfg (and tasks.d directory contents) for invalid entries.  A useful diagnostic is to dump the tasks like so:

xymoncmd sh -c '$XYMONHOME/bin/xymonlaunch --config=$XYMONHOME/etc/tasks.cfg --dump'

This will show you the tasks configuration after being parsed by xymonlaunch, which includes slurping in include files, stripping comments, de-duplicating entries, and dropping unrecognised keywords.

Hi Guys

I need some assistance with regards to setting up Xymon, I have seen it once or twice but the actual config itself I have never done.

I used the man pages etc. but I can’t get my Xymon url to show the page, checked the log and I am getting the following.

[cid:image003.png at 01CFD44B.F8CA31B0]
[cid:image004.png at 01CFD44B.F8CA31B0]

Then the error just repeats over and over.

Does anyone perhaps have an example of what needs to be setup that I can use to reference to mine to see what I did wrong.

Kind regards,
