[Xymon] automated svcs listing with xymon ps client and analysis.d

[Fabian Wendlandt]

Hi,

including directories does work for analysis.cfg, but unlike e.g. hosts.cfg, analysis.cfg does not include a 'directory'-statement by default.

Add the following directive above your 'DEFAULT' section in analysis.cfg and restart xymon:

directory /path/to/analysis.d/

Regards,
Fabian

Hi,
 
I want to automatically identify and configure test for all services of win servers which has the startup setting “automatic”
 
Getting the analysis.cfg entries is quite easy:
 
for servername in $LIST
do
  echo “HOST=$servername” > $servername.cfg
  xymon localhost "xymondlog $servername.svcs"|awk '/ automatic /{printf("   SVC %-30s startup=automatic\n",$1)}' >> $servername.cfg
done
 
This will create an individual cfg file for every server just for the SVC check (with ~60 entries each).
I thought I can just create these cfg files in $XYMONHOME/etc/analysis.d and it will be used similar to hosts.d or tasks.d directories.
But obviously this does not work (and also there is no mention of analysis.d in the manuals).
Of course I can add all these lines directly into analysis.cfg, but this would create a very huge file.
 
Is there a way to use a subdir for those settings?
Any other ideas to combine the normal analysis.cfg with let’s say 100 extra server cfg files?
 
Xymon 4.3.30 self compiled and latest xymon PS client.
 
Any ideas welcome
 
regards
 
Norbert
