[Xymon] xymon graphs are not visible

Tue Dec 18 22:10:38 CET 2012

Those should only be needed if you are compiling Xymon from source.  They are not needed if you are installing from RPM.

Hi all,

I want to share few things with you. I was going through the xymon documentation today  and in that there is one step "yum install pcre-devel openssl-devel openldap-devel rrdtool-devel"

so i was checking on our xymon server whether these packages are installed or not. Found that rrdtool-devel package is missing and that is the one reason we may not be seeing the graphs. We will go ahead and reinstall xymon from scratch.

[asagarw at uspvldmzlx29 etc]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)
[asagarw at uspvldmzlx29 etc]$ rpm -qa  | grep pcre-devel
pcre-devel-7.8-4.el6.x86_64
[asagarw at uspvldmzlx29 etc]$ rpm -qa  | grep openssl-devel
openssl-devel-1.0.0-25.el6_3.1.x86_64
[asagarw at uspvldmzlx29 etc]$ rpm -qa  | grep openldap-deve
openldap-devel-2.4.23-26.el6_3.2.x86_64
[asagarw at uspvldmzlx29 etc]$ rpm -qa  | grep rrdtool-devel

Thank you,
Ashwin.

Sounds great. Let me go through the documentation again and see if we missed anything.

By the way i am curious, by copying someone existing showgraph.cgi file will fix this issue or not :)

Thanks,
Ashwin.

Please keep replies on the mailing list.

The installation docs are inside the distribution file, and I'm pretty sure can be accessed from the Help menu in the sample site, xymon.com<http://xymon.com/>.

Could you please give me the installation documentation link for Linux which you are following. I just want to cross check that we are following the same and not missing anything.

Thanks for your help on this.

Ashwin.

All of the files are included, and should be installed when someone runs the "make install" portion of the process. If you are missing anything, the process is incomplete and you should look to have it done again correctly. The installation documentation is pretty clear (I followed it myself recently).

I am sorry about that ryan. Actually i didn't installed xymon. The team who installed xymon for us i already sent those questions to them and awaiting for their response.

I guess they installed xymon using tarball. That's all i know.

Thanks,
Ashwin.

Thank you for the showgraph.sh file. I will also need showgraph.cgi file. Can anybody please provide me that file in a zipped format.

Ashwin.

Yeah, sounds like there may have been an issue on install. FWIW,
showgraph.sh is just a wrapper for showgraph.cgi. On my system it looks
like this, but adjust your paths as needed:

=== begin ====
#!/bin/sh

# This is the Xymon CGI script interface to showgraph.cgi
#
# Install this script in your webservers' cgi-bin directory

. /usr/share/xymon/server/etc/cgioptions.cfg
 exec /usr/share/xymon/server/bin/showgraph.cgi $CGI_SHOWGRAPH_OPTS
=== end ====

HTH,
