If not, where are they set? Yes, these are the correct permissions. As I said, the problem is the permissions of the script (not the permissions of the database), and if the RPM had been built in the way that we have documented, using the tools that we have made available, then the script would have the correct permissions. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Grouphttp://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporationhttp://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org

What's really weird, is I got the error right after I installed the monitoring package and just the other day, I noticed that the error message has gone away, even though I've not done anything.

No. My guess is that the problem is that the script is not running with sufficient privilege to read the configuration database, and therefore cannot determine that the admin password in fact has been set. Scripts which are run as part of the e-smith manager usually need to have root privilege to interact with critical parts of the system. For this reason, they are mostly setuid root perl scripts. If you look at the RPM spec file for any of the e-smith RPMs, you will see that the file list is generated by the program genfilelist, and this program automatically marks all files with the required permissions and ownerships. As we point out in the "How to build an e-smith RPM" HOWTO, and illustrate in the e-smith-skel example RPM, you should always use this method. You then should not have any problems with permissions or ownerships of files in contributed RPMs. http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/building-contribs.php3 Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Grouphttp://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporationhttp://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org

You could remove the test -e command as long as you install the package carefully (with all the interfaces present in /proc/dev/net), and even reduce the sar command from 3 iterations to just 1. BTW, we use the sar command as we don't know of any value in the /proc structure that gives us the same info (yep, you could use the same info as the uptime command but thats not a % but a relative measure). We will love to use that value as this will reduce package dependencies and be a lot faster but we don't know wich one to use. In response to this same email, Richard has said: >> Ahh, mutual exclusion - maybe some form of semaphore handling or transaction queuing and locking? Well, I believe this is completely out of our reach. As I said my perl knowledge is very light and my friend's is not too much from mine. Using this kind of techniques would be too much for us, at least now. We will try other possibilities first.

Is the symptom occurring on higher spec machines? I don't know, I don't have one :-) I suspect that it is though. The problem is a number of synchronisation problems with the way that the data is collected. What you have is cron running a perl script, which runs lots of commands, then updates a database. And every minute it does the same thing. And it tries to do the same thing for three different monitors (plus one every fifteen minutes). This could make the machine a lot busier than it otherwise is, and the commands meminfo.pl etc might take more than a minute to run. If that happens, then two instances of meminfo.pl may finish in the same second, and try to update the database with new memory info timestamped at that same second. And this is what rrdupdate is complaining about. The solutions to this are twofold: - run a long lasting perl program which becomes active every minute, and takes and logs a new sample.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Server monitoring module ready for download
Hi all, It seems some people is getting an error similar to this: ERROR: illegal attempt to update using time 997679412 when last update time is 997679412 (minimum one second step) As I have allready posted, this error is caused in two ways: during install (you should wait a couple of minutes before installing again), if you use a time server and have a very wide time drift (this will lead to time inconsistencies) and maybe under heavy load. I'm not sure about the last one, as the minitor process uses very few resources and I believe you should loose data, not get two data :) I think there is a problem with backups too. The backup process and the monitor process seem to enter in conflict over the databases files as they can't be locked. I have burn out my brand new computer :'( and have to wait 20 days or so untill they repair it. I'm sorry, I won't be able to give too much help during this time :( Well, please report any error you find to the list. The admin password problem is very erratic, some people is getting it, but most don't, and I haven't been able to reproduce it.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Server monitoring module ready for download
Hi, You seem to have a problem with the timestamp of the data. When you create a rrdtool database, you tell the program when to expect the data. In our case most of the data is collected every minute. RRDTool is intelligent enough to resolve minor error with the time (for example if you get one vale 59 seconds after the last one instead of 60 seconds). The databases are updated or created when you install the package so you might be updating too close in time. The problem seems to be you are trying to update the database too soon and are getting the same timestamp !!! Please, try this solution and tell me your results (first make a backup and follow the upgrade process): * When you uninstall the old release, wait a couple of minutes before installing the new release. Replace the databases created with the backups. What happens? It should work well. You have lost 2 minutes of data but this is a small value (2 entries) :) * Do you have problems if you don't replace the just created data with your backup? Of course, you have just lost your old data :)) Hope it helps.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Server monitoring module ready for download
Hi all, We have released a new release (02) of e-smith-monitor software. It solves: 1) The english package is now all in english (no more Alto, Medio and Bajo :))) 2) It now detects the network interfaces present in the system and shows them. This info is updated every minute. You should not found anymore the error "can't find /var/lib/rrd/eth1.rrd database" 3) It shows all the net traffic graphs (no longer eth0 only). Some comments: 1) The spanish package is no longer called e-smith-monitor_sp but e-smith-monitor_es following the international standard. 2) The rpm update DOESN'T WORK propertly. It installs perfectly right in a fresh system but wont update right. Please, follow the instructions in the web page to update. Also, if someone knows how to solve this (we guess is something in the spec file) please, contact us. 3) We don't know what is causing the "admin password" problem :( We don't have it :)) 4) Some people is reporting an error when making a backup (somthing about a lock). We have not worked in this yet. The script executes every minute and this might be in conflict with the backup process. We will think about it. Any idea? As allways, the package will be available for download in e-smith's ftp contrib area, but give them some time to update :))) Thanks Kim, Darrel, David and Rod and everybody else for the help.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Server monitoring module ready for download
Hi all, I'm sorry. We have been traveling this two days with no email acces and just now see there are "some" problems with our module :((( First of all, we have a test sever (just installed ESGS 4.1.2 with latest updates) and don't have any extrange failure (no emails to the administrator, no need to change the password). As everybody know nows, e-smith-monitor works more or less like this: 1) First, it creates a bunch of databases in /var/lib/rrd This databases are allways created the same way, no matter what you have in your server. The names are (all with .rrd): eth0, eth1, ippp0, mainhd, ppp0, usedcpu, usedram adn usedswap. By the name you can see what does each one. 2) A new file is created /etc/cron.d/monitor to execute a bunch of scripts (in /usr/bin) that populate those databases 3) A third file /etc/e-smith/web/functions/monitor is created and a soft link for it in the manager pannel. This file is the one that controls what is shown in the webpage. Some of the graphs are hardcoded and others where supposed to be shown based on the information in /proc/net/dev and here is where all the problems lie. First, is not able to show more than eth0. Second, if there are some interfaces in tha file not considered in the script it looks for the unexisting database and gives an error. It seems we will need to recode all that part, because this is not a good solution (as has been shown). In the meanwhile, if you want, you can just hardcode every graph you want to show as long as you have the needed database. You can use the other graphs for inspiration. Or you could use the patches proposed in this list but this seems to open more problems (sl0 for example). OK, tomorrow my friend and I are going to dedicate all the day to solve this problem. We are really sorry, we had the software running for 4 weeks without any incident so we thought everything was right (this is one of the beauties of open source). 4) Last, is the problem of the admin password. I really don't have any clue of why somepeople get this error. As I said, we instaled the software 5 times from a fresh install and another 5 just after removing it without seeing this error. Ok, give us one day to work in this and we will see what we achieve. Thanks for all the help and recomendations, we promise to use them all :) Regards. -- *** * Jaime Nebrera Herrera * Nunca digas no se hacerlo * *Responsable CCI* mejor di: nunca lo he intentado * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Proverbio japones * *** -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
RE: [e-smith-devinfo] Server monitoring module ready for download
Well this new summary of changes did the trick for me. All links I checked
for etho and eth1 called up the appropriate graphs. Thanks a lot. BTW, I
haven't received any error emails about rrd or cron regarding the server
monitor. It seems to be working fine for me.

Ok. I've made the changes and have got the monitor working OK - however I have 2 questions. 1). The monitor is trying to display information for a 'sl0' device - and as such all that is appearing there is an empty graphic place. All other graphs are displaying correctly. 2). The web page is displaying an error message regarding my 'default system password'. How do I remove or rectify this.

You also need to make the changes to line 171 ( as per Darrtl May's earlier
email )
"My 'guess' is the problem may be in /etc/e-smith/web/functions/monitor
where you have hardcoded eth0 on line 171 instead of using the $key
variable."
New summary :-)
Comment out the following lines
Line 70. # $q->param(-name=>"dispred", value=>@dispRed);
Line 79. # $q->param(-name=>"dispred", value=>@dispRed);
Line 85. # $q->param(-name=>"dispred", value=>@dispRed);
Line 100 #my @dispRed = $q->param("dispred");
Line 148 #my @dispRed = $q->param("dispred");
Edit line 171 to look like this:
print "" . $q->a ({href => $q->url (-absolute => 1) ..
"?state=detailed&titlegraph=".$key."+traffic&typegraph=line&rrddb=".$key."&r
rdvar=".$key."&typevar=AVERAGE&refresh=60"}, $key) . "",

This change got me a listing for eth1, but the link at the top of the page
for eth0 and eth1 both point to generating graphs for eth0. I can't give
many suggestions on this one, except that I thought the original problem
might have to deal with the "foreach $key (@dispRed)" line (which we have
now altered).

RE: [e-smith-devinfo] Server monitoring module ready for download
Can I suggest a
if ($1 ne "lo")
{
if ($1 ne "sl0")
{
push(@dispRed,$1);
}
}
}
as well as the commented lines below, to get rid of sl0
Also, what about "Normal", "Heavy", "Warning" on the line regarding area
graphs?

If you don't comment out this next line

Then you don't need to add any code
> Line 148 #my @dispRed = $q->param("dispred");
Then you don't need to add any code
So in summary:
Comment out the following lines
Line 70. # $q->param(-name=>"dispred", value=>@dispRed);
Line 79. # $q->param(-name=>"dispred", value=>@dispRed);
Line 85. # $q->param(-name=>"dispred", value=>@dispRed);
Line 100 #my @dispRed = $q->param("dispred");
Line 148 #my @dispRed = $q->param("dispred");
Mind you I still don't know if this is the correct way to do this.
My debugging indicated that the array being passed to the functions has only
one entry, hence the issue of only eth0 being displayed.

same to me.
and i modified /etc/e-smith/web/funtions/monitor file to below.
first, I had commeted all @dispRed variable in sub function because it is used
for global variable already.
Line 70. # $q->param(-name=>"dispred", value=>@dispRed);
Line 79. # $q->param(-name=>"dispred", value=>@dispRed);
Line 85. # $q->param(-name=>"dispred", value=>@dispRed);
Line 100. #my ($q) = @_;
Line 148 #my @dispRed = $q->param("dispred");
then insert if clasue above print line
Line 136, Line 169.
foreach $key (@dispRed)
{
if ($key ne "")
{
print
}
}
And eth1 showed up to me.

Is this an easy thing to add to the module? eth1 is monitored by default. If you look into /var/log/rrd you will see: eth0, eth1, ippp0, mainhd, ppp0, usedcpu, usedram, usedswap As you can see all externall interfaces that we know of are monitored. A different matter is the web page. If you see the code, it decides what interfaces to show based on your active interfaces (it runs ifconfig and sees the interfaces there). I know this might not be the best way to do it (you can't see ppp0 traffic if the modem is down) but in eth1 case it should show (as long as you have ESGS configured as server and gateway). We are sorry because we haven't been able to test this as we only have a ppp0 connection and to this moment we have not been able to make it work (we have needed to change the dialup template to make the modem dial BUT DNS doesn't work whatever I do : I have reported this as a bug to the corresponding email. I have an external US Robotics 56K modem, and the DNS doesnt work with ESGS 4.1.2, SUSE 7.0 or Smoothwall 0.98 This morning I have tried with an older modem and works fine. :( Regards. -- *** * Jaime Nebrera Herrera * Nunca digas no se hacerlo * *Responsable CCI* mejor di: nunca lo he intentado * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Proverbio japones * *** -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Server monitoring module ready for download
Hi Lee, I don't know what's wrong. We have tested the rpm at least 10 times (5 times installing in a fresh ESGS 4.1.2 server and the other 5 removing it and installing again). I don't know why it asks you to change the password because it just install 1 file in the functions directory and makes a soft link in the panels directory (as is standard in ESGS). The process we follow is: As root: rpm -Uvh sysstat-3.3.3-3.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh rrdtool-1.0.28-1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh e-smith-monitor-1.0-01.noarch.rpm refresh the web manager page I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but for us it has worked perfectly right (as commented in the documentation, there is a minor bug that leaves an empty /var/lib/rrd in the system when you uninstall, but thats all). We have a test server and currently have installed in it ESGS 4.1.2, Smoothwall 0.98 and Start Up Server 3.0b6 so we have formated the server many times and reinstall the packages and never had a problem (once we finished the rpm, at the beginning was horrible :) Sorry, maybe somebody from ES will be able to help you more. I'm a linux newbie myself : BTW, it should work in a 4.0 server too, because thats where we made the first development efforts 3 months ago.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Server monitoring module ready for download
Hi again, As you have seen there are two main dependencies in this package. Both of then are not part of an standard e-smith install so you will need to look around. The dependencies are: * sysstat >= 3.3.2 This package is used to get a correct CPU load. In our test server we are running sysstat-3.3.3-3.i386.rpm * rrdtool >= 1.0.28 This one is used to make the graphics and keep the data. In our test server we are using rrdtool-1.0.28-1.i386.rpm I know that there is a new version of rrdtool (devel) but all the original development (3 months ago more or less) was done with this two packages, so thats the reason we give those dependencies. As you know, you can use a newer version if you want. Maybe it could work in older versions too but in this case you will need to modify the rpm. I don't recall where I found the packages. The best way, go to google.linux and look for the exact name of the rpm package (rpmfind link doesn't work). If the people from e-smith agrees we can put both packages in their server but I believe this is not needed. Lee Roy escribió: > > I have been looking forward to trying this.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Server monitoring module ready for download
Eee, what? I don't know that package :( I bet you it could have saved us a lot of work :))) We made it the hard way. Got some scripts from MRTG (the father of RRDTools) and, well, the real hard part was to make the images on demand and make the script call itself. If somebody understands the /etc/e-smith/web/functions/monitor I will give him a free beer :))) We are right know putting somne comments and trying to translate it to english. adminpop escribió: > > Hi Jaime > It looks great.
