XYMOND_HISTORY(8) System Manager's Manual XYMOND_HISTORY(8) NAME xymond_history - xymond worker module for logging status changes SYNOPSIS xymond_channel --channel=stachg xymond_history [options] DESCRIPTION xymond_history is a worker module for xymond, and as such it is nor- mally run via the xymond_channel(8) program. It receives xymond status- change messages from the "stachg" channel via stdin, and uses these to update the history logfiles in a manner that is compatible with the standard Big Brother daemon, bbd. OPTIONS --histdir=DIRECTORY The directory for the history files. If not specified, the di- rectory given by the XYMONHISTDIR environment is used. --histlogdir=DIRECTORY The directory for the historical status-logs. If not specified, the directory given by the XYMONHISTLOGS environment is used. --minimum-free=N Sets the minimum percentage of free filesystem space on the $XY- MONHISTLOGS directory. If there is less than N% free space, xy- mond_history will not save the detailed status-logs. Default: 5 --pidfile=FILENAME xymond_history writes the process-ID it is running with to this file. This is for use in automated startup scripts. The default file is $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond_history.pid. --debug Enable debugging output. ENVIRONMENT XYMONALLHISTLOG This environment variable controls if the $XYMONHISTDIR/al- levents logfile is updated. This file is used by the event-log display on the nongreen html page and the eventlog-webpage, among other things. You can disable it by setting XYMONALLHIST- LOGS=FALSE, but this is not recommended. XYMONHOSTHISTLOG This environment variable controls if the $XYMONHISTDIR/HOSTNAME logfile is updated. This file holds a list of all status changes seen for a single host, but is not used by any of the standard Xymon tools. If you do not want to save this, you can disable it by setting XYMONHOSTHISTLOG=FALSE. SAVESTATUSLOG This environment variable controls if the historical status-logs are saved whenever a status change occurs. These logfiles are stored in the $XYMONHISTLOGS directory, and are used for the de- tailed log-display of a status from the Xymon "History" page. If you do not want to save these, you can disable it by setting SAVESTATUSLOG=FALSE. If you want to save all except some spe- cific logs, use SAVESTATUSLOG=TRUE,!TEST1[,!TEST2...] If you want to save none except some specific logs, use SAVESTATUS- LOG=FALSE,TEST1[,TEST2...] NOTE: Status logs will not be saved if there is less than 5% free space on the filesystem hosting the $XYMONHISTLOGS direc- tory. The threshold can be tuned via the "--minimum-free" op- tion. FILES This module does not rely on any configuration files.
