[Xymon] *nix servers are not emailing alerts

[Phil Crooker]

Welcome to xymon. There is quite a learning curve ahead but worth it.


It sounds like there aren't xymon clients installed on the nix servers. On your xymon web pages, if the host entries don't have cpu, memory and disk, you'll need to install the client. If they do, have a look at analysis.cfg - maybe the thresholds are set too high for what you want, and in alerts.cfg - maybe no alert rules are set or the alerts are going elsewhere.


good luck.<mailto:FirstName.LastName at orix.com.au>

Subject: [Xymon] *nix servers are not emailing alerts

Hello

I currently took over xymon administration in our institution.  We currently receive alerts for all of our Windows servers for just about any condition. However, *nix servers seem to be very reserved in what they sound out...if they send anything at all.

I have tried to locate where I should be specifying that I would like the *nix servers to send alerts like the Windows serves do but have no had much luck.  One thing In particular I would like to receive emails about is when the disk is reaching its threshold.  If I log into the web interface I can see the live status...just no emails every go out, and everything looks to be setup correctly.

If there are some things I should be looking at, any help would be great.

Thank you

Matt
