Re: AW: problem in installing fping

2005-06-22 Thread Gilles LAMIRAL
Hello,

 I have found no advantage of the fping.monitor!

The advantage comes when monitoring thousands hosts.

Re: Proposal to all skilled perl developers

2004-10-07 Thread Gilles LAMIRAL
Hello,

 I'd need a new option in the configuration file to set watches and
 services directly to disabled when mon starts up

Just write the state.d/disabled file by hand before mon starts.

Re: mon with MySQL backend

2004-05-12 Thread Gilles LAMIRAL

 if anyone knows of an sql interface to mon, for storing historical logs of when 
 devices are down and so on.
 Has anyone tried this, or is anyone aware of a module/interface that will allow this?

Look at:

Re: avoiding/stopping multiple alerts when upgrading a server pool

2003-10-29 Thread Gilles LAMIRAL

 One trouble in creating one group per host/service is the shear number of
 groups you end up with. 

It is not difficult to generate a mon.cf file automaticaly
with a list of hosts to be splitted, no ?

 If you specify 'alertafter 2 30m', service b should not
 alert after one failure just because service a failed one time 15 minutes
 ago.  

But service b does not since services are completely independant
with their alerts. Did I misunderstand your remark ?

 Because of these, I would have to agree with the original poster that
 failures should be tracked at the service/host level, and not the group
 level.

alertafter 2 30m
1round) A server f1 fails 1 time = no alert
2round) A server f2 fails 1 time = alert

In that case you'd prefer no alert, that's it ?

Since mon doesn't know what a host is, you have to write another
tool, or use separate groups.

Re: MON_LAST_* Not actually the last output...

2003-03-19 Thread Gilles LAMIRAL
Hello,

 the rationale is to show you the specifics of what was not working in the
 past but now is working. if the last summary / output in the upalert was
 from the successsful test you would not see the detail of what hostgroup
 members were having the problem.

You would use the history list. This behavior is confusing unless your
a MON admin. I remember I had to suppress it from minotaur.cgi because
users think something is wrong but nothing is. They are right to think
that since we all think that until we've read the mon manpage five times.

 I know about rrdmon, but that seem to simply record whether the host was up

It can store per host http/smtp/nntp/ldap/... response times on rrdbases

 and it runs with its own scheduler. 

It is a mon server(s) client, but its scheduling is based on mon server(s)
intervals. The last release can store on mysql databases.

Re: Send a trap on non failure

2002-06-27 Thread Gilles Lamiral

David,

We all read this list.

 Put another way, if I could call remote monitor and tell it precisely which
 server/hostgroup/service to check, and just have it report based on the
 status of that service, it would be closer to useful. 

Closer to hard MONconfig synchronisation. It is why remote.monitor
does whole status.

Use mon trap feature for doing what you want and go to 
hard MONconfig synchronisation :-(

man mon:
  Traps are handled similarly to monitors: a trap  sends  an
   operational  status,  summary  line, and description text,
   and mon generates an alert or upalert as necessary.

David,

 Though the http monitor script validate the web server is responding, it
 can't validate the service hosted on this webserver is correctly running ..

So what is a webserver correctly running ?

Re: Question about colors

2002-02-18 Thread Gilles Lamiral

emmanuel,

 I'd  like  to  know  if it's possible to configure Minotaure to display specific
 colors relativ to applications status. And if so, how...

You can change the colors but not what they mean since it is mon server
specific and minotaure is a mon client.

 For instance, applications in error are displayed in red, those with 'ok status'
 are in green.

Yes.

 And  I  have a few applications whose status is in error for a while and then it
 turns  into  'green'  : I'd like this specific 'error status' to be displayed in
 blue for example and then in green when the status is ok.

The status view is a snapshot.
Good - gray (or green if another service in the same group is red)
Bad  - red

Use the historic view to see what went wrong in the past.

setlogsock can break

2001-12-17 Thread 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.
