setlogsock can break

[Gilles Lamiral]

Hello,

With "old" syslog module, setlogsock does not exist.
But the code breaks even if mon doesn't use it (solaris).

my $RCSID='$Id: mon 1.27 Sat, 08 Sep 2001 09:42:05 -0400 trockij $';

- use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock);
+ use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT);

- ($^O eq "linux" || $^O eq "openbsd") && setlogsock ('unix');
+ ($^O eq "linux" || $^O eq "openbsd") && Sys::Syslog::setlogsock ('unix');

Thanks in advance for the next release.

how to use ldap.monitor against MS Exchange server

[Konstantin 'Kastus' Shchuka]

I'm trying to use ldap.monitor to watch LDAP service on an MS Exchange server,
but it returns no entries. Anybody is successful using it? What parameters
need to be used?

Thanks,

Time until next alert : $opt_u

[htabug]

Hello,
 
 
    In the 
mail.alert script containing the line, Time until next alert : $opt_u, the 
script doesn't seem to display the time when the alert will be called next when 
it sends the email. All I get is a line stating Time until next alert : , 
without the contents of $opt_u being displayed. Is there something missing in 
the mail.alert script that I need to add? Or anything wrong in that line Time 
until next alert: $opt_u in the mail.alert script.  I haven't modified any 
of the scripts that comes with the mon package. And my mon is up and running and 
sending the emails, my only concern is why that line "Time until next 
alert:"  seems to not work.
 
 
Thanks

Because (as documented in the man page and as should be in the FAQ), 
hostgroup definitions are separated by an explicitly blank line, and you 
don't have a blank line between your hostgroup definition and your watch 
definition (the comment line is ignored completely, not treated as a blank 
line).

Add a blank line after your hostgroup definition and you should be OK.

RE: Problem starting mon

[Crow, Owen]

One of the counter-intuitive gotchas of mon, but mentioned in the man page:

Hostgroup Entries
[snip] Non-blank lines following the first hostgroup line are interpreted as
more hostnames.  The hostgroup defi­nition ends with a blank line.

I've found that lines that begin with # are ignored, but not considered
blank so you need to add a blank line after your hostgroup entry:

hostgroup servergrp raven

watch servergrp
service ping
[...]

Subject: Problem starting mon


All,

I am having a problem starting mon.  I think I may have
something wrong inside of the config file, but I am not
sure.

Here is a snippet of the config file:

#
# group definitions (hostnames or IP addresses)
#
hostgroup servergrp raven
#
watch servergrp
service ping
description ping servergrp
interval 5m
monitor ping.monitor
period wd {Mon-Sun} hr {12am-11:59pm}
alert mail.alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
alertevery 1h

When I try to run mon, I get the following error:

Warning: hostgroup servergrp has no watch assigned to it!

Hmmm...  I see a watch, why doesn't mon??

Thanks :-)

you should upgrade to mon-0.99.2, at least. i changed the config
parsing to do what people expect instead of relying on them to read the
documentation to get the right syntax. by bad for not doing that from
the word "go".

from the man page:

   Hostgroup Entries
   Hostgroup entries begin with the  keyword  hostgroup,  and
   are  followed by a hostgroup tag and one or more hostnames
   or IP addresses, separated by  whitespace.  The  hostgroup
   tag  must  be  composed of alphanumeric characters, a dash
   ("-"), a period ("."), or an underscore  ("_").  Non-blank
   lines  following  the first hostgroup line are interpreted
   as more hostnames.  The hostgroup definition ends  with  a
   ^^
   blank line. For example:
   ^^^

Arggghhh, too early in the morning to see such things ... my poor brain.

Or, well, I suppose it is a cartoon, perhaps it's just when you'd expect
to see such things.

Re: Somewhat OT: sms.alert and sendsms

[Derek Callaway]

BTW, I'm using the sms.alert script from
http://acsys.anu.edu.au/~tpot/hypermail/mon/feb2000/0767.html and not the
one from the contrib alerts on the ftp site. 

Also, I get this error when using gnokii: Hmmm... GSM_LinkOK never went true. Quitting.

At first, I thought another process may have been using the modem, but
judging from the output of fuser that is not the case.
