syslog-ng

Is syslog-ng availabe yet? I can see it is announced in opencsw.org website, but I do not see it from pkg-get command:

 

> pkg-get -a | grep syslog

pm_parsesyslog 1.10,REV=2008.03.02

pm_unixsyslog           0.100

 

Thanks,

Yang

I suppose you are using the stable/ release branch. From what I see,
syslog_ng is only available from the current/ (formerly known as
unstable/) release branch. Others can likely verify this and add some
background information.

To see which release branch you are using, what does the following
command say?

    grep ^url /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf \
        /etc/opt/csw/pkg-get.conf \
        /etc/pkg-get.conf

Btw., have you heard of pkgutil? It's a feature-rich alternative to
pkg-get and can be found at all mirror roots. 

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/opencsw/pkgutil-i386.pkg
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/opencsw/pkgutil-sparc.pkg

Amongst many other features it offers a handy option for "remote
support" question like mine, -V, to display configuration settings. More
information can be found on the pkgutil website:

Sorry for replying to such old stuff but I've been busy with little time for 
OpenCSW the last 6 months and now I've jumpstarted again and found myself 
digging into this mess again.

It seems that cairo doesn't need librsvg except for the testsuite, but I've 
found some documentation on the net describing that the correct way to 
install cairo and related libs (librsvg and poppler) is to install cairo, 
then poppler and librsvg and then cairo again... Doh!

But if we take a look at how Ubuntu and CentOS has solved it, they both have 
no dependencies on poppler and librsvg from libcairo, so I think that seems 
to be a good way to do it.

That's correct.  The stable branch is best described as dead.  It's
not only syslog_ng, but also many of its dependencies that aren't
available in the stable branch.  As far as I know, the stable branch
gets no updates and won't get any until further notice.  Even the
security updates -- they are only released to the current branch.

Getting support via IRC

Dear OpenCSW users,

Our IRC channel, #opencsw on Freenode has been rising in activity in
the last months.  There's a number of maintainers hanging out there,
some of them in Europe time, some in the East Coast time.  If you, as
an OpenCSW user, need support or have questions, feel free to talk to
the maintainers on IRC.

Having a conversation on IRC can be especially useful when:

- you have problem, but you're not sure whether to file a bug for it
or do something else
- something appears to be missing from the documentation
- you want to drop by and say how awesome our packages are :-)

If you're not familiar with IRC, there's a web client you can use:

http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=opencsw

See you there!

Maciej Bliziński

Your help is needed on logwatch

Dear users,

our fellow maintainer Ben Walton updated logwatch to the most
recent version as a courtesy. However, as he doesn't use it
himself it would be nice if a real user would verify the
updated package and maybe contribute a customization for
the OpenCSW Solaris distribution.

As always the packages are available from testing/:
   http://mirror.opencsw.org/testing.html

You can install it directly from there with
   pkgutil -t http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing -i logwatch

Best regards

Change of catalog name for Curl

Dear users,

the catalog names for the Curl packages have been adjusted to
conform to the OpenCSW standard. That is:

* CSWcurlrt
   - Old catalog name: curlrt
   - New catalog name: curl_rt

* CSWcurldevel
   - Old catalog name: curldevel
   - New catalog name: curl_devel

Please note that this only affects new installation with pkg-get and
pkgutil as the package name used for dependencies is not affected.

Kind regards

Migrating monitoring services from Linux - Munin server missing some files??

Hi guys!

I am going to be migrating some of my x86 Linux machines over to SPARC 
machines running OpenSolaris snv111b which is current stable build.

Most of what I am going to do is easy, however for things like Cacti and 
Munin I am having difficulty.

To start with I have attempted to compile these services from scratch 
only not being able to program very well I have had major difficulties. 
I got as far as compiling net-snmp but failed to get rrd-tools working.

I figured that instead I would look at using OpenCSW packages instead, 
although no Cacti but at least once the base is installed I should be 
able to get it running on top!

For the most part everything looks ok apart from Munin master or server, 
which currently is missing the index.html and other associated files in:

/var/opt/csw/munin/www

I only have these files:

cgi which is a dir, and favicon.ico that's it

If I compare this to my current Linux install I have:

drwxr-xr-x 2 munin munin  4096 Sep 14 04:40 cgi
-rw-r--r-- 1 munin munin  2555 Sep 14 04:45 definitions.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 munin munin  5345 Jan 24 19:40 index.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 munin munin   473 Sep 14 04:45 logo.png
drwxr-xr-x 2 munin munin 57344 Sep 14 21:35 optiplex-networks.com
-rw-r--r-- 1 munin munin  3538 Sep 14 04:45 style.css

Are these files missing from Munin?? Since I have searched high and dry 
for them! Or are they simply in some obscure location which I haven't 
figured out yet?? :-)

I know I can just pull them over but I thought it would be better to 
have clean ones so that the install can go properly.

Can anyone help me out???

Many thanks,

Kaya

index.html and definitions.html should be created automatically after your configured hosts are
checked for the first time. About the other files I'm not sure at the moment.

Currently I'm moving into another city. I will take a look for these files - and correct this - as soon as I get a
broadband speed internet connection, which should be in the next few days. I will upgrade then to 1.4.3 too.

Thank you for your feedback!

So far I have the base config as I'm using the system in a VM on my 
notebook to test as I will be using them on a SPARC system soon. 
Munin-node was up and running; since I only have the local host defined 
the system *should* scan itself as when cross-comparing the config from 
my current setup which resides on a Linux Box - they are exactly the 
same for the internal machine.

Ok a few little notes now as I'm just cross-comparing further as typing 
this:

Munin-check response:

# /var/opt/csw/munin/db/plugin-state : Wrong permissions (755 != 775)
Check done.  Please note that this script only checks most things,
not all things.

Please also note that this script is very new and may be buggy.

I also created a cron job which I inserted into /etc/cron.d as there 
wasn't any pre-installed:

*/5 * * * *     munin test -x /usr/bin/munin-cron && /usr/bin/munin-cron 
 > /dev/null 2>&1

This was directly copied from Linux so I changed the file locations to 
/opt/csw/bin/munin-cron!

There currently is a PID of munin-node running so that's a good sign:

# ls /var/opt/csw/munin/run
munin-node.pid

This is all I could evaluate at the present moment!!

I will wait a bit and see if the index.html file does actually appear; 
if not I'll compare the munin-check output with my working version on 
Linux and see what happens there....

Regards,

Kaya
