[Xymon] Enable/disable Issue

Thu Oct 10 22:55:41 CEST 2019

Do I need to set a user and password for accessing the "Administration" items?

Apache error_log shows this:

[Thu Oct 10 20:44:00.995632 2019] [cgi:error] [pid 8718] [client xx.xx.xxx.xxxx:xxxxx] script not found or unable to stat: /opt/xymon/cgi-secure/t2b-blue.gif, referer: https://xxxxx.xxxx.com/xymon/xymon-seccgi/enadis.sh

(IP and domain has been omitted by x's)

The directory does not contain the gifs it's trying to find, leading to a cgi:error.

Likely authentication.

Ok this worked, thanks!:

$ ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.conn -1 "powered_down_for_now""

So it works through command line as I see it in the GUI, now to figure out why it won't work through the GUI. Is this something to do with Apache and CGIs?

1985 ... old notes.  It's since been moved back to 1984.
The reason why I suggested "1m" was because of the posted example:

       $ ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.comm -1 powered down for now"
       Unknown option -1

But yes, -1 should have worked.

Port is optional.  It defaults to 1984. Looks like you have your server on 1985, perhaps a proxy on 1984 and the server on 1985. I do that.

Is the port required for the RECIPIENT?

Try running:  ./xymon --debug 127.0.0.1:1985 "disable xymon.comm 1m powered_down_for_now"

This is what I get now:

$ ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.comm 1m powered_down_for_now"
Xymon version 4.3.28
Usage: ./xymon [--debug] [--merge] [--proxy=https://imss91-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fip.of.the.proxy%3aport%2f%5d&umid=769EE153-9494-4305-9E9A-A5A2B40DE20B&auth=19120be9529b25014b618505cb01789c5433dae7-8f25e02eb42e15a711d430059c2f90ea01fcc54c RECIPIENT DATA
  RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL
  DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin

Is using xymon a valid host considering I see it in the list of hosts to disable on the Enable/disable page? Not sure if that's the issue.

Instead of "-1" trying using "1m" (for 1 minute).

Ive always had problems with spaces with the "why", so where you have
    powered down for now
I had to change to
    powered_down_for_now

... so just in case you get another error.

Ok I tried again and I get this:

$ ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.comm -1 powered down for now"
Unknown option -1
Xymon version 4.3.28
Usage: ./xymon [--debug] [--merge] [--proxy=https://imss91-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fip.of.the.proxy%3aport%2f%5d&umid=769EE153-9494-4305-9E9A-A5A2B40DE20B&auth=19120be9529b25014b618505cb01789c5433dae7-8f25e02eb42e15a711d430059c2f90ea01fcc54c RECIPIENT DATA
RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL
DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin

Is my syntax incorrect?
