[Xymon] TS - Problem ignoring 'mem' from Quest Windows Client 4.00

[d.tom.schmitt at L-3com.com]

Team,

                I am at a loss.

                I am running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on a Dell R-610 running
CentOS 5.x.  I have a pair of them.

 

                We have multiple virtual Exchange servers on Win2003
server.

                All are reporting 'mem' problems up to 104%.

 

                We currently use the Quest BB 4.00 Windows client as I
converted the main server from BB to Xymon over 2 years ago.

                This was the best plan for the conversion as our Windows
admins already were acquainted with the GUI setup.

                Since we pay for maintenance from Quest on the client, I
opened a case with them but cannot tell them that the server is Xymon.

                Currently we want to stop the client from monitoring the
'mem'.  The GUI says to set the value above 100% for the alerts.

                The GUI will not let you set the values above 100 and
100 for yellow and red respectively.  

                P.S.  This does work for disk drives though.

 

                Quest says to add this parameter to the bb-host file of
'nomem' - this does not seem to do anything.

 

The also want to change the bbwarnrules to:  *;;*;*;mail at mail.com

                Not sure what this is accomplishing?

I still need alerting for all the other items from the current client.

 

Disabling the test, is not the answer as it bounces up and down all day
long.

 

I also tried to add an entry for each host in the
/home/xymon/client/etc/localclient.cfg 

and to hobbitclient.cfg at the bottom of the file:

                

HOST=slxcg01.csw.l-3com.com

        MEMPHYS 110 120

        MEMSWAP 50 80

        MEMACT  90 97

 

HOST=slxcg02.csw.l-3com.com

        MEMPHYS 110 120

        MEMSWAP 50 80

        MEMACT  90 97

 

HOST=slxcg03.csw.l-3com.com

        MEMPHYS 110 120

        MEMSWAP 50 80

        MEMACT  90 97

 

Still seeing RED  for 'mem' Icon    J

 

Thanks,
