[Xymon] stale PROC checks not going away

[Larry Bonham]

Martin,

I fought with this a long time due to our default builds having one CLASS setting but that was creating PROC check problems as we transition to different OS versions.  Or where a system has CLASS manually misdefined and then corrected later.

Example on our RHEL 6/7 systems.  Directory locations are specific to my setup.  xymon-server is the init name we are using.  There may be a better way around this but I couldn't find any.  This works well other than needing to stop the xymon server service for a few seconds.

host='server-to-fix'

service xymon-server stop
cd /data/xymon/server/tmp
cp -p xymond.chk xymond.chk.prev       # just in case something goes wrong
sed -i "/^@@XYMONDCHK-V1||${host}|/d" ./xymond.chk
service xymon-server start

The server you are looking to fix should correct itself in the xymon display within 10 minutes.

Larry

Hi Damien,

Yes, that was the first thing I tried.  Even tried dropping the entire host ("drop HOST"), no joy.

Only workaround so far is to change the name of the Host in host.cfg and client.

Eg. MGTserver01 is now called MGTserver01.

Hi Martin,

Did you try to drop the test data ?

Example:

~xymon/client/bin/xymon xymon_server "drop HOST PROCS"

I'm having an issue with old PROC checks not being removed.   I had a CLASS called "linux2" with 3 PROC checks.   A Host was using the linux2 class.  I then changed the Host to use the "linux" class.   Now the Host is checking for both linux and linux2 PROCs!

Hosts.cfg extract:
Was
10.0.0.13     MGTserver01 # CLASS:linux2
Now
10.0.0.13     MGTserver01 # CLASS:linux

How do I get rid of the old PROCs that aren't required anymore?

Tue Jul 10 14:56:28 AEST 2018 - Processes NOT ok
green sshd (found 3, req. 1 or more)
green proc1 (found 1, req. 1 or more)

Xymon server version: Xymon 4.3.28-1.el7.terabithia
Xymon client version:  xymon-client-local.x86_64 - 4.3.28-1.el7

Thanks,

Martin.
