[Xymon] stop monitoring memory

[Ian Diddams]

thanks jeremy...  


server OS is CentOS release 5.5 

client OS is CentOS release 6.4



I did find some gumf about uising a bb-hosts entry

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  client # NOCOLUMNS:memory

to at least avoid showing the reports/monitor


but that made absolutely zero difference so i have no idea what on earth that is about :-)

cheers

ian

My understanding is that in local mode, the memory data is analysed and sent by xymond_client.  Perhaps you could run this with the "--debug" switch to see what's going on.  Also, you could use a xymond_channel command on the server to watch the memory status messages come in, to check whether they're coming from the client.  Something like:

  xymond_channel --channel=status --filter='name-of-host.*\|memory\|' cat

As far as I can tell from reviewing the code, the xymond_client program gets its memory numbers from the client data, but it uses different section names depending on the OS.  For Linux, it looks only in [free], for FreeBSD it looks in [meminfo] and [swapinfo], and for Solaris it looks in [memory], [swap] and [swaplist].  What OS are you using?

Cheers
Jeremy
