Dave,This sounds like a known issue with older versions of Solaris and/or the version of Perl that Sun delivered with some releases of Solaris. Please search the list archives and the bug reporting system. There are multiple posts about this, including a work-around I have used with some success. I'd post links, but I don't have time to look them up at the moment. (I should be in bed already ;-)

It appears there is a parsing problem.

I've been making changes with tabs and spaces and whatnot to try and get the parsing to work but so far haven't had luck. Here's the uxmon-net file now: #cat uxmon-net # Agent Configuration File # The Big Sister Server expects communication # every 10 minutes or server is considered down # ----------------------------------------------------- # Set the default SNMP community to "public", the # # Set default frequency to 5 minutes for "ALL" checks # KEYWORD Default settings Apply To TEST # ------------- --------------------------- ----------------- DEFAULT community=public frequency=5 perf=5 ALL DEFAULT version=1 proto=udp rpc DEFAULT proto=udp ping # Information about defined systems to monitor using DESCR command. # You *must* DESCRIBE your system, here. # # KEYWORD SYSTEM FEATURES Apply To HOST # --------- -------------------------- ------------ # DESCR features=unix,linux localhost # DESCR features=unix,sysv,solaris someotherhost #DESCR features=unix,solaris localhost DESCR features=unix,solaris localhost #DESCR features=unix,solaris palm # Run the following tests. # Note: host1(host2) is reported under host2 # Note: host can be an IP address # Report Host Health Test List # ------------ ----------------------------------- localhost load diskload memory # localhost fs=all(6%-10%),all-ufs(6%-10%),all-ext2(6%-10%) diskfree localhost fs=all(6%-10%),all-ufs(6%-10%) disk localhost syslog dumpdates localhost procs=init(1-1),sendmail(1-20) procs # localhost eventlog cpuload localhost cpuload localhost network localhost users # Create Graphs localhost fqdn=no frequency=10 perfdata=etc/perf options=perf bsdisplay # EDIT THIS, replace localhost by the name or IP address of your Big Sister server # # BigSis Server bsdisplay /options # ------------ ----------------------------------- #localhost fqdn=no bsdisplay # include file for specific hosts, do not name it uxmon-net.* as a new # process is started for every file matching that pattern include include_checks.$HOST_____________________________________________ From: Eagen, Dave Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 8:56 AM To: 'suppressed' Subject: Setup problems - fqdn and non-fqdn showing up for the same hosts on different lines I'm trying to install Big Sister and have run into some issues. Right now, my Big Sister server (palm) is showing up twice in the host listing. It shows once with the fully-qualified domain name with checks for conn, http, and smtp. This is a solaris 9 server. It shows a second time with the short, non-fullyqualified domain name with checks for cpu, disk, msgs, and procs. Unfortunately all those checks showing with the short name are purple. My uxmon-net file is: # Agent Configuration File # The Big Sister Server expects communication # every 10 minutes or server is considered down # ----------------------------------------------------- # Set the default SNMP community to "public", the # # Set default frequency to 5 minutes for "ALL" checks # KEYWORD Default settings Apply To TEST # ------------- --------------------------- ----------------- DEFAULT community=public frequency=5 perf=5 ALL DEFAULT version=1 proto=udp rpc DEFAULT proto=icmp ping # Information about defined systems to monitor using DESCR command. # You *must* DESCRIBE your system, here. # # KEYWORD SYSTEM FEATURES Apply To HOST # --------- -------------------------- ------------ # DESCR features=unix,linux localhost # DESCR features=unix,sysv,solaris someotherhost #DESCR features=unix,solaris localhost DESCR features=unix,solaris localhost DESCR features=unix,solaris palm.mydomain.com DESCR features=unix,solaris palm # Run the following tests. # Note: host1(host2) is reported under host2 # Note: host can be an IP address # Report Host Health Test List # ------------ ----------------------------------- localhost load diskload memory # localhost fs=all(6%-10%),all-ufs(6%-10%),all-ext2(6%-10%) diskfree localhost fs=all(6%-10%),all-ufs(6%-10%) disk localhost syslog dumpdates localhost procs=init(1-1),sendmail(1-20) procs # localhost eventlog cpuload localhost cpuload localhost network localhost users localhost icmp_ping # Create Graphs DEFAULT frequency=10 perfdata=etc/perf options=perf bsdisplay #DEFAULT frequency=30 perfdata=etc/perfslow options=perf bsdisplay # EDIT THIS, replace localhost by the name or IP address of your Big Sister server # # BigSis Server bsdisplay /options # ------------ ----------------------------------- localhost fqdn=no bsdisplay # include file for specific hosts, do not name it uxmon-net.* as a new # process is started for every file matching that pattern include include_checks.$HOST Interestingly, it seems like Big Sister has a lot of trouble parsing the uxmon-net file. When I run the start script, I often get these types of messages repeated numerous times: Agent uxmon: uxmon: WARNING: host f=5 appearing in uxmon config is unresolvable Agent uxmon: Wed Mar 15 08:49:45 2006: uxmon: check ALL failed to start up - ignored Depending on what I modify in the file it complains about different areas. But, everything it complains about is either commented out or appears to be valid. Are there known uxmon-net parsing problems with Big Sister? Additionally, I can't get sla reporting to work and I believe it's because of the fqdn. The sla reporting configuration file is formatted with sections seperated by periods, and having the domain name be palm.mydomain.com seems to mess up the parsing. It seems I need to get the checks working with just the short name in order to use the sla reporting. How can I get the two entries merged so that just the short name is used? And is there really something wrong with my uxmon-net or are there parsing problems?
