[Xymon] Proving that tasks.d/ directory is working

[Ward, Martin]

Sorry, I should have mentioned that; yes I do have the directory entry in the tasks.cfg file and it is the correct directory name, no typos.

mward at xym0:/opt/xymon/server/etc>grep -i directory tasks.cfg
directory /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.d
mward at xym0:/opt/xymon/server/etc>ls /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.d
anycastdist.cfg       dotid.cfg             rad_check.cfg
apt_processes.cfg     ldap_replication.cfg  sorbs.cfg
clariion.cfg          ntp-drift.cfg         vantiostats.cfg

Do you have this in your tasks.cfg file?

directory /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.d

Hi all,

I have a few tasks that I have designed to run on the Xymon server. I have created files in the tasks.d/ subdirectory based on the configs in the tasks.cfg file but they don't seem to be running.

One example entry from a file in tasks.d is:

# "replicate_ldap" runs the in-house LDAP replication checks.

[ldap_replication]
        ENVFILE /opt/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
        CMD /opt/xymon/server/ext/ldap_check_replication
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/ldap_replication.log
        INTERVAL 5m

It's a simple configuration and the files exist but the log file has not been updated in weeks.

I cannot find any log information about the tasks.cfg file or its inclusions, it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere in the Xymon log files, can someone give me a clue as to how I can debug this?
