xymonnet-again.sh - Xymon network re-test tool
xymonnet-again.sh
xymonnet-again.sh is an extension script for Xymon that runs on the
network test server. It picks up the failing network tests executed by the
xymonnet(1) program, and repeats these tests with a faster test cycle
than the normal xymonnet schedule. This means that when the server recovers
and the network service becomes available again, this is detected quicker
resulting in less reported downtime.
Only tests whose first failure occurred within 30 minutes are included in the
tests that are run by xymonnet-again.sh. The 30 minute limit is there to avoid
hosts that are down for longer periods of time to bog down xymonnet-again.sh.
You can change this limit with the "--frequenttestlimit=SECONDS"
when you run xyxmonnet.
This script runs by default from your
tasks.cfg(5) file.
- $XYMONTMP/TESTNAME.LOCATION.status
- Temporary status file managed by xyxmonnet with status of
tests that have currently failed.
- $XYMONTMP/frequenttests.LOCATION
- Temporary file managed by xymonnet with the hostnames that
xymonnet-again.sh should test.
