[Xymon] Convert bb-mdstat for Variables XYMON

[FreeSoftwareServers]

@Jeremy

 

This made everything come together, thank you!

 

Note that xymoncmd (and xymonlaunch) sets BB environment variables for backwards-compatibility, so no need to change the variables.

 

Try:

 

~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd ./bb-mdstat.sh

 

Cheers

---------------------

A few things:

 

Nowhere on the internet could I find the “default” XYMON/HOBBITHOME and its really hard to find because XYMon symlinks files all over the place, I think a note saying, Check here but it might not work would be useful to many.

 

Also I had to change the following in the config file for the [raid] flag, but really, I think xymon should have done this. [sudo ln –s hobbitclient.cfg xymonclient.cfg] for compatibility, I understand that it’s a lot to update each time xymon changes its name, but I think it’s finally settled down with xymon!

 

        ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg

 

TO :

 

        ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg

 

I tried this >> 

 

 <http://www.it-eckert.com/software/raid-monitor/> http://www.it-eckert.com/software/raid-monitor/

 

But my sd* get rearranged upon reboot so that didn’t work, but I was able to get bb-mdstat to work!

 

Only problem left, it doesn’t seem to be updating :(…. I used /etc/xymon/clientlaunch.d/bb-mdstat.cfg which everything seems setup to run correctly, but my status seems to stay unchanged…. But easy fix, I just run the below cmd in cron every 5 minutes.

 

/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/bb-mdstat.sh

 

I made a few write-ups if anybody is interested, thanks for getting me rolling on my raid-monitoring!

Hello XYMon Guru’s!

I am trying to configure bb-mdstat found on https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/monitors:bb-mdstat , but all the variables point to BB*** and it doesn’t work, I think all the “scripting” would work If I could just figure out how to set the variables correctly, any chance we could get this updated for XYMON Variables.?

It's designed to run in an Xymon/BB environment, such as via xymoncmd or bbcmd.

 

Note that xymoncmd (and xymonlaunch) sets BB environment variables for backwards-compatibility, so no need to change the variables.

Testing :

 

donut at FileServer:/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext$ ./bb-mdstat.sh

 

Try:

 

~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd ./bb-mdstat.sh

 

Cheers

Jeremy
