[Xymon] Xymon Digest, Vol 117, Issue 7

Tue Oct 13 12:12:14 CEST 2020

I had this issue also and not being a c programmer (and not having a lot of time to figure out) I adjusted the file "svcstatus-trends.c" on line 291:
Original: SBUF_MALLOC(allrrdlinks,16384)
New: SBUF_MALLOC(allrrdlinks,163840)

So the buffer value times 10. After this I got rid of the 500 error. So I think the buffer is to little for some environments.

Hi,

the best way to debug this is to get a proper stack trace of when the
program crashes. For this, you first need to make sure you have a binary
of svcstatus.cgi which includes debug information - if you look at the
Xymon sources, the build/Makefile.Linux file has a commented-out line
setting the CFLAGS variable for debugging:

# Compile flags for debugging
# CFLAGS = -g -DDEBUG -Wall -D_REENTRANT $(LFSDEF) $(OSDEF)

Uncomment the last line, run "make clean; make" and then use the
web/svcstatus.cgi binary from that.

To run the program in the gdb debugger, I would bypass the web server
CGI and run it by hand like this:

$ export SCRIPT_NAME="svcstatus.sh"
$ export REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
$ export QUERY_STRING="HOST=claudio.hswn.dk&SERVICE=disk"
$ gdb ./web/svcstatus.cgi
(gdb) run

The value for the QUERY_STRING should be taken from the URL for your
status-page - the part after the '?' sign. The example here is from the
xymon.com site, but you really just need to modify the hostname to that
of your own.

Note that you must run it on the Xymon server, because it reads the file
stored there.

Regards,
Henrik
