If you are talking about scripting graphs, then Gnuplot is what you
need - it's in the core centos distro I think.

If you want a dedicated gui graphing application, then you can't go far
wrong with Grace - it's in EPEL. I've used it for producing publication
quality plots but it's equally capable of dealing with everyday
graphing. The native save file format is simple and plain text, so it's
quite easy to generate the files using a script which can then be read
straight in to grace and will have correct axes, lables, etc.

another tool i've used for creating various sorts of graphs is Gnu 
Octave.  this is a matlab replacement, and if you can import a bunch of 
numbers, you can graph them 8 ways from sideways.

[CentOS] CentOS 6 and luksOpen

2017-06-20 Thread m . roth
Upgraded a RAID. Copied everything from backup.

And then my manager said I had to encrypt the drive.

I've done that, and made the filesystem, but I can't mount it.

CentOS 6.
I have the entry in /etc/crypttab, and a key in /etc/crypt.pw, and the
luks UUID in /etc/fstab. I cannot find the command that tells it to create
the device in /dev/mapper from the info in /etc/crypttab.

Clues for the poor? Yes, the server will, at some point in the future, go
to CentOS 7, but that needs my user to be off for a while, and his jobs
run literally for weeks, with loads upwords of 30 on an HBS (honkin' big
server)

Something's not right. I did
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb luks-$(cryptsetup luksUUID $(/dev/sdb))
--key-file /etc/crypt.pw

It did want the password, so I added --key-file, but it seems to have
created /dev/mapper/luks, not the full luksUUID that's in both crypttab
and fstab.

unmap: cryptsetup luksClose /dev/mapper/luks

and then try again with following correction

NOT ...UUID $(/dev/sdb)
...UUID /dev/sdb

Thank you *very* much for the help, and such fast responses. Googling
hadn't been helpful

I'm good now (and will be documenting it for my manager and the other admin).

Hi!

I have bazillions of incoming (rejected) attempts to connect to my

to come in huge bunches (e.g., the one from yesterday that ran for

I can see the spacing and/or distribution in time.

I can figure out some simple scripting to turn the maillog entries
into times since the epoch, or other formats, if needed, but I have
no experience with the various graphing tools availabe, or even
what (or where) they are.

I'd appreciate pointers-and-or-advice, should any of you have any
such things to give.

thanks in advance!

Out of the box: mailgraph

https://mailgraph.schweikert.ch/
https://github.com/schweikert/mailgraph

There are forks which implement newer anti-spam implementations like 
Postfix's postscreen.


See an example here

https://mailgraph.piratenpartei-bayern.de/

Something more generic but powerful: Prometheus with Grafana

It works with a time series database in the background and is the 
de-facto standard in DevOps environments. With a Google image search for 
Grafana you find a lot of examples how it looks like.


If the application does not provide the necessary metrics itself for 
Prometheus then an exporter is required. You find some for Postfix. 
Prometheus will scrape the exported metrics and within Grafana you can 
easily add nice and useful graphs into your dashboards.

[CentOS] CentOS 6: cannot open gnome-session

2017-06-20 Thread wwp
Hello there,


trying to open Session settings in GNOME's System/Preferences, I get
this error:

=
Error opening current splash image.

The current splash image filename is:
/usr/share/pixmaps/splash/gnome-splash.png
=

I get this exact same error on 2 different CentOS 6 systems
(up-to-date).
On both systems, /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/ does not exist.

Did anybody already face that issue?

Creating the missing file (out of any .png) doesn't solve the problem:
I don't get the error anymore but the Session setting never open.


Regards,
