Server Monitor Buttons Missing

The Monitoring, Profiling and Memory Tracking buttons are all missing from the Server Monitor and it is not displaying any data. Where did they go? I'm on CF9/Multi-server and Windows Server 2008/64 bit. My CF server instances are running under a domain account so they can get to network shares. I'm using multiple jvm.config files to give some servers more memory than others. I've tried adding the domain account to the Administrators group, made sure monitoring, profiling and memory tracking are all enabled, and made sure the crossdomain.xml file is in the webroot.

Well, first briefly, I've seen this happen (the start/stop buttons don't appear), where simply refreshing the page made them reappear.
Assuming you've confirmed that doesn't solve it, here are some questions that may help us hone in on the problem:
- does this happen on all the instances or just one?
- you say you are on CF9. Do you mean 9 or 9.0.1?
- Have you applied any hotfixes or cumulative hotfixes? (And I'd ask you to confirm that not from memory but from confirming by looking in the lib\updates directory. On Multiserver, that's \servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\updates for the cfusion instance, or \servers\instancename\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\updates for any others (note change from - to . in the ear/war directory names).
- Are the hotfixes there the right ones for the version you're running (not 900 in the filenames if you're running 9.01, or vice-versa)
- When you say it's "not displaying any data", do you mean that the graphs on the front page are essentially blank? That would mean simply that "start monitoring" has not yet been enabled. When you say "no data", I'd want to make sure you don't mean that none of the screens show anything. There are many that show data even if there are none of the "start" buttons enabled, such as the Template Cache Status page (on the Statistics tab, in the "Request Statistics" section). Is that "displaying data"? Just trying to help clarify your situation.
Also, just as a workaround until you do solve this, note that if you're on 9.01, you can now at least turn the buttons on and off in the CF Admin, something that's gone under the radar for many, it seems.
Hope that's helpful.

Server Monitor hwmondSetup missing

Our Xserve is missing this package:
/System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup
I was wondering if anyone could email me that Setup tool so I can try to install it?
I called apple and there is nowhere to download it from. They said we have to reinstall the OS to get it. It seems ridiculous to have to reinstall the os simply to run server monitor as every other part of the server is running well and took a lot of work to get setup.

Simple Setup to Configure Server Monitor
Go to System Preferences
Figure out which port you want the LOM on.
The LAN side is more secure.
Take note of what your Internal IP address and internal NIC is.
Open Server Monitor
Select Server menu -> Configure Local Machine
Configure Lights out Management
add an IP address that is different that your LAN address
For example if your LAN IP is 192.168.22.10 then your LOM address can be 192.168.22.11
username: lomadmin (use a user that is not already in use)
password: whatever
Quit Server Monitor
Shut down the Xserve that is the target of these changes.
Remove the power cord from the back of the Xserve.
Wait 30 seconds and plug the power cord back in.
Power the server back on.
This did not work for me so if you are having the Waiting for Response error
Try this stuff:
ipmitool -V show
Needs to be ipmitool version 2.0.2
/usr/bin/hwmond needs to be there:
you can run this
/System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup
#!/bin/bash
# this script determines if hwmond runs on this platform. If it does,
# then it will remove Disabled key from com.apple.hwmond.plist causing
# launchd to launch hwmond.
if hwmond -t > /dev/null ; then
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ com.apple.hwmond.plist
fi
supposedly this hwmondSetup script is not longer used in Leopard but the tools are the same
Or try this:
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.servermgrd.plist
mv /var/servermgrd /var/servermgrd.old
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.servermgrd.plist
I don't think this script did anything because I had to go in and manually change the false keys to true in
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>hwmond</string>
</array>
<key>ServiceIPC</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Then I think what finally fixed it for me is stopping and starting the firewall
You either have to have port 623 or 311 open for Server Monitor

Server missing in Server Monitor after connection

Hello!
I'm facing a strange issue on our XServe (10.6.4).
We have enabled LOM for this Server and created an account for this.
All is working fine.
When I open up Server Monitor (on the Server or a administrating Mac) I can see the Server with the information on start up: No response since....
Once the connection to the Server is established it's gone from the Server Monitor.
This is a real strange issue I'm facing.
Have anyone maybe a suggestion to me?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
You add windows server 2012r2 GUI via PowerShell:
1.Determine the index number for a Server with a GUI image (for example, SERVERDATACENTER, not SERVERDATACENTERCORE) with Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath <path to
wim>\install.wim.
2.Run Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell –Restart –Source c:\mountdir\windows\winsxs
3.Alternatively, if you want to use Windows Update as the source instead of a WIM file, use this Windows PowerShell cmdlet:
Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell –Restart
Hope this helps.

HOW TO: Relay/Send email from websites, Server Monitor in OS 10.5 Server

If you don't want to run your own mail server or configure DNS on your Xserve, but you still want your website or applications like Server Monitor to send email notifications; this is what you need to do:
Scenario: Mac OS 10.5.2 Leopard - Advanced Configuration - Setup is for strictly sending emails through SMTP, routed through your ISP or another provider. This is not for receiving emails.
-Open up Server Admin
If you have yet to add in a server to admin, you need to do so. Resource PDFs on setting up OS X Server are available at Apple http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/ and there are video tutorials at http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=373
-Click on your server, then choose the Settings button
-Then choose Services from the Tabs/Buttons below
-Select the Mail checkbox and then hit Save
-Now choose the newly added Mail service in the left pane, then click the Settings button up top
-Start with the Advanced tab. Under Security, un-check everything and don't use SSL unless you want to. You don't need to mess with the other sub-tabs here.
-Next choose the Logging Tab. Under SMTP log level, choose debug so you will be able to see what goes on in the log.
-Mailing List, Quotas and Filters tabs can go untouched. You can mess with them later if you want.
-Click the Relay tab. It is a good idea to only accept relays from your local machine. If you uncheck this, I believe it leaves you with an open relay that anybody can access.
-Now for the General Tab. Under Domain Name put anything you want. Any made up name and extension is fine.
Under Host Name, again put anything you want.
Un-check Enable POP, Un-check Enable IMAP - Basically un-check everything
Check or leave checked Enable SMTP
Now check Relay outgoing mail through host:
Then enter your hosts SMTP server. ex. smtpout.secureserver.net
Now check Authenticate to relay with user name: and enter your username and password
-Now hit the Save button
-Now we need to take a look at the main.cf file and add a few things
-If you aren't showing all files in Finder already, open up Terminal.app
Now type in: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles True
Hit enter
Now type in: killall Finder
Now Finder should reset and all files should be visible - To hide all files, do the same thing but type False
-Now open Macintosh HD and navigate to /private/etc/postfix/main.cf (Note: you won't be able to open and edit this in TextEdit. I recommend a program like TextWrangler http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/download.shtml )
-Once you have main.cf open, all your settings should be together at the bottom of the doc. Scroll down. You will need to add in a few lines and verify all the settings are exactly as below (except of course your own names and SMTP server):
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix
mydomain_fallback = anything.anyting
messagesizelimit = 0
myhostname = anything.anything
mailbox_transport = cyrus
mydomain = anything.anything
mailboxsizelimit = 0
enableserveroptions = yes
inet_interfaces = all
relayhost = smtpout.secureserver.net
smtpsasl_passwordmaps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl/passwd
smtpsasl_authenable = yes
smtpdsasl_authenable = no
smtpsasl_securityoptions =
smtpduse_pwserver = no
smtpdrecipientrestrictions = permitmynetworks,reject_unauthdestination,permit
smtpdpw_server_securityoptions = none
-Now save the main.cf document
-Now go back to Macintosh HD and navigate to /private/etc/postfix/sasl/passwd
Open passwd with TextWrangler or you editing app, and verify that your SMTP server, username and password are correct. It should look something like this:
smtpout.secureserver.net [email protected]:password
-This should be what you entered in Server Admin when you first started. If all is well, quit your editing app.
-Now, while you are still at /private/etc/postfix/sasl/passwd you need to edit permissions for passwd
You can chmod in Terminal.app or secondary click on passwd and "Get Info"
Click the lock and enter your password to unlock the settings
Next click the + button and add yourself and Admin
-Now you can close out of everything and go back to Server Admin
-Hit the Reload (twisty arrow) button at the bottom and once everything is reloaded, hit Start Mail
-Now type localhost in your browser to see if your website can send email. You can also open up other apps such as Server Monitor and do something to change the status to have it send an email.
-You can click on Mail in the Server Admin and then view the SMTP log. As long as emails are being sent and then removed from the queue, you are in good shape. If you are getting an SASL error or mechanism error, open up main.cf and verify your settings and/or check permissions on passwd file

Don't you need the Mail service running to have apps like Server Monitor send email notifications? - Also for hosted sites that use the sendmail function you need a service running to get the emails sent.
Really you are not hosting a Mail server. It is open, but there is no incoming and if you only accept SMTP relays from the local machine, there should be no issues.

Server Monitor no longer working between 10.5 client & 10.4 servers?

I've been running Server Monitor 1.5f6 under 10.4.x on my desktop machine to monitor a dozen or so Apple Xserves running 10.4.x Server for ages (3 years?). Upon upgrading my desktop machine to Leopard the Server Monitor application no longer connects to any of the remote Xserves. They simply state "waiting for connection". I tried every "expert" diagnostic I can think of including deleting prefs, caches, adding & removing server entries, firewall off (on the server), etc. I also observed that upon quitting the application, it often produces a crash message instead.
So I tried what I thought would be the obvious fix of upgrading to the latest Server Admin Tools suite (downloaded from Apple, also v10.5) on my desktop which includes Server Monitor 1.5.1-- only to discover it does not work either.
If I boot back into 10.4, everything works again so I am 110% sure the problem is related to Leopard. The 10.4 servers can also monitor each other fine (as a test).
Now I've seen some similar reports in this forum about problems with the admin tools after 10.4.11 and such. But none of them clearly described IMHO the exact problem of using Server Monitor under a remote Leopard client to monitor a 10.4 Xserve.
Can anyone else confirm this problem? Am I missing something?

Wow, thanks for the article reference. Some times no amount of searching will uncover the hidden treasures.
So... not to be too dramatic but... what is Apple trying to do? PUNISH users that have not purchased any copies of 10.5 server? Why wouldn't they release a stand-alone Server Admin Tools installer like they have in the past? (They "forgot"???)
As it appears someone attempted the package extract approach (and it didn't work), can someone offer another solution?
p.s. Where is that number for my Apple rep... >:-( UNHAPPY!

Server monitor : my turn

Like other people, i would like to manage my xserve remotely (like the advertisement promise).
===
configuration :
* xserve 1.1
* os server 10.4.10 (8R2218b)
* LOM Revision 1.2.7
* only one ethernet port used,
* in the etc/hostconfig, the hostname is -AUTOMATIC-
* i did not configure the LOM initially (because i did'nt ask for a specific ip adress dedicated for LOM at this time). My provider gave me then a specific adress for LOM on the same subnet.
* dns and reverse dns for the server and LOM are configured by the provider and work fine,
* I configured the LOM like 'defor' advised in his Aug 22, 2007 post in
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=940740&tstart=0
* I did shutdown/disconnect/reconnect power/power on.
===
Problems are :
1) malfunction of server monitor localy (via vnc)
Server Monitor shows Name = localhost, IP=127.0.01 : is it ok ? .
It gives informations about the hardware but :
= i cannot write email adresses into the "edit notification panel". The "Add" button remains grey.
= the "restart button" doesn't work... "Failed to contact server".
2) no remote server monitor.
From my Mac book Pro (localized French)
I notice that in the list : 'Nom' is empty and 'Adress IP' is correct (writing the IP or the name) and the status remains 'Attente de reponse'
3) ipmitool
ipmitool -U [myLOMadminaccount] -H [LOMIP] chassis power status
ask for password,
wait 3 seconds and return nothing (the prompt)...the same for others commands
but "sudo ipmitool -v -v user list 1" gives well the 2 accounts (1 ADMINISTRATOR, 1 USER)
Thanks in advance for your help.

Happy news from my system :
I went to the data center yesterday to try different configurations of LOM but first applied the Xserve Firmware Update 1.0.
A "power off/disconnect power cord (and ethernet cable, why, not ?) dance " and bingo :
1) Server monitor on my MacBook connects to the xserve,
2) I can add an email notification,
3) i can restart the xserve from my laptop.
But... it's not complete...
The history log shows (translating from french) every x minutes : three times 'unable to contact the server' then 'connection lost' then, after few seconds the update time is refreshed as the elapse live time of the xserve in the "infos" panel :
Is-it a real update or a fake ?
To be sure (silly question ?), is it possible to simulate a xserve problem in the scope of server monitor (and test the notification by email) ?
Admin server has the same problem : connection lost after x minutes

Server Monitoring with clustered instances

Anyone using the server monitor or multiserver monitor with
clustered instances of coldfusion? In CF 8.0.1 on Solaris, enabling
monitoring produces a vast number of repeated errors of the form
included below. This occurs on the both clustered instances as the
instances are setup to replicate session data using J2EE session
variables. The monitoring appears to work but the frequency of the
errors produced in the ouput log of *BOTH* of the cluster instances
is extensive. These errors do not occur when monitoring the
"cfusion" admin instance. Is this a product issue or a
configuration issue?
MM/DD HH:MM:SS error Setup of session replication failed.

Server Monitor and servermgr_xserve retain count in system.log

We've got 4 Xserves G5s on 10.5.4 all exhibiting this behavior. As soon as we open Server Monitor, we get this message in the log files repeatedly:
Jul 3 10:28:46 krusty servermgrd[55]: --Module servermgr_xserve's response has retain count of 1.
Jul 3 10:29:16: --- last message repeated 2 times ---
It doesn't seem to have any impact on the performance or the server stability so I just ignore it, but I don't want to miss something important if it gets lost in all of these seemingly unimportant messages. Has anyone seen similar behavior and know of a way to stop this logging (short of closing Server Monitor)?

Did you set up this Xserve as it came from Apple, or did you take an existing 10.5.x image and lay it onto the Xserve? The latter may not have the relevant components in the image... hwmond is an Xserve-only component.

Multi-Server Monitor log outs repeatedly

I recently installed ColdFusion Enterprise 10 and set up 3 instances on the same server and then set up multi server monitoring for my three instances. The problem is logging into one CF admin on one port logs you out of the other. This appears to be affecting the multiserver monitor as well making it utterly useless. From the overview dashboard you can see the servers logging in and out repeatedly. Is this is a bug or is there something obvious here I'm missing?

Server Monitor - XServe G5 with OS X 10.4.10 client

Hello,
We run here multiple XServe G5. When purchased, they came with OS X Server 10.3.x
We have configured one of the servers with OS X 10.4.10 Client! because of some of the features of OS X 10.4.x. We are running newer versions of MySQL, PHP and Apache, as well as a third-party FTP server, and didn't want to be bothered with buying and extra license of OS X Server 10.4, now that 10.5 is around the corner. Anyhow...
The OS X 10.4 client does not implement the hardware monitoring System, Server Monitor. My understanding is that Server Monitor is a GUI front-end for hwmond and relies on 3 files:
/usr/sbin/hwmond (Hardware Monitor Daemon)
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
/System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup
I have copied these files from another XServe G5 (this one running the real thing, i.e. OS X Server 10.4.10) to the respective locations on our XServe with OS X client. I have restarted the server, but things didn't work out.
What did I miss?
Thanks for anyone who can help

You can still use iCloud eMail though, if that helps...
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

Server Monitor won't connect.

I have a G5 xServe I have recently become responsible for. It is headless, and I haven't admined a headless one and trying to resist the temptation to put a graphics card in it. Right now I'm having the "Waiting for Response" issue with Server Monitor. I can receive the System Profiler Report but no other info is being returned. Any ideas how to fix this?
Also, wondering if the Shutdown & Restart buttons (in Server Monitor) will work. They are not greyed out but I have no confidence they will work when I need them. Assuming they do not, what would be the best alternative way to Shutdown the server?
Thanks!

Hi
You can use Server Monitor to control the XServe remotely but only if its an Intel XServe and if LOM (Lights Out Management) has been configured for use.
I kind of agree with what you are saying but my experience has been in previous incarnations of the XServe you could ran Server Monitor locally. You get the "Waiting for Response" message if you use its fixed IP address either locally or remotely. The method outlined in the previous post is the way to connect to it that I have found works. Perhaps somebody else knows different? Although searching the discussion forums will probably result in the same information already given.
As a further note: you can’t use Server Monitor on anything other than an XServe. People have posted before (and no doubt will continue to do so) complaining that Server Monitor is not working when their Server hardware is anything other than an XServe.

Server Monitor Notification will NOT accept an outgoing email address

Hi folks. I have a new XServer Xeon. Everything is working great, except for one maddening issue: When I use Server Monitor and go to set up notifications, the "send to" field will NOT accept any input at all...whether it's a bonafide email address or just any old text typing. Nada. I can seem to enter all other info like the "from" field, and the buttons work....just can't add any addresses to send notifications to. Any ideas? I'm hoping this is a "duh" moment for me and not a real issue.
Thanks!

Daddy
I have quite a few Xserve's (G4, G5) running Email notification from Server monitor without mail services running.
It appears to be a problem with the new Intel's version of Server monitor, I cannot get SM to accept any email addresses either, it will also not remember other settings between launches.
I have submitted a bug report with Appple through ADC on this.
FYI if you setup lights out management on another IP on Xserve and connect server monitor to that IP from another machine you can add email addresses but when hardware events occur on Xserve no emails are sent!
So IMHO server monitor V1.5 is broken right now, only good for manually monitoring the hardware.
If I get an answer from Apple I will post it in this category

CF8 cfthread, server monitor, and active threads

When I run this code:
cfthread
part III or any cfthread without a thread join and then go to
the CF Administrator -> Server Monitor -> Statistics ->
Active ColdFusion Threads, I don't see the threads ever going away.
They just build and build everytime I run it. I can get it to
go all the way up to 400+ threads and stay there untill I restart
Jrun. I think this is a monitor issue because I'd hate to think
those threads are tied up and still active.
Thoughts?

Neo,
I have noticed the same thing. Now for the odd part. If you
click the 'start monitoring' button and then run your thread test,
the threads don't appear in the Active Coldfusion Thread report!
When running our application, I noticed the Coldfusion thread
count getting up to 80,000+ threads in the span of a couple of
hours. If we can't figure out what is causing this, we are going to
downgrade back to CF7

E-mail from Server Monitor question

Before I pay for an upgrade to my Intermapper software for this same functionality, I'd like to see if Server Monitor will do this on its own:
I run a headless X Serve G4 with OS X Server 10.4.6
I think I have set up Server Monitor to e-mail my BlackBerry whenever there is any problem with the machine.
I have it set for the application to send the e-mail on the servers behalf.
I am not running Postfix on the server. It is in fact a mail server but it runs Communigate Pro.
The questions are:
1) Do I have to leave Server Monitor running somewhere for it to actually e-mail me?
2) How can I test the e-mail function without actually causing a failure on the server (since it is a live server, I'd prefer a "test email" button)?
3) Can I change the e-mail function to have the remote server send it even though postfix is off?
I don't leave the server logged in and I don't leave Server Monitor running anywhere looking at the machine since all of my monitoring machines runn with no users logged in.
Thanks,
Chad
G4 X Serve Mac OS X (10.4.6) OS X Server 10.4.6

Not really a nice situation having to wait for something to fail to see if I actually get a notification. What if not? I hope they just need to rewire a button as many hints in Interface Builder indicate that the functionality is already there.
I have filed the problem on Apple Radar with Bug ID 4477142 on March 14th, 2006. The ticket is still open.
Another idea for triggering an error.
You siad your Xserve was located in a Data Center, so I expect it to have a UPS. If that UPS has a direct data connection to the Xserve you could simply unplug the UPS connection from the wall. That surely will trigger a Power alert. I don't know if just removing the USB cable will be sufficient, but might be worth a try and somehow more comfortable with the service personell.
Anone else running Communigate on an Xserve who has easy physical access to the machine to try this? Maybe also talk to the Communigate People, they might know.
