Server Monitoring issue

I have a clean installation of CFMX 9.01 J2EE version. In the Admin tool when I click on Monitoring Settings I get this error:
Variable ERROR_SETTINGS is undefined.
Then when I click on Server Monitor I get this error:
The isMonitoringServerEnabled method was not found.
Any ideas why? Everthing else appears to work fine..
- Alex

ok I have fixed this.. Turns out I did not apply the 901 update.. Now cf monitoring works.

Server Monitor Issues!! HELP

I am trying to get server monitor to work and all I am able to do is pull up the system profile. Is there any reason why I can do that but not get any other information? I am guessing that if I am able to get the system profile I should be able to pull all the information. This is on Intel and G5 xserves.

Sorry for being bland on the issue
I have 2 servers 1 is a G5 the other is an Intel. The G5 is working great. The Intel is not working. Here is the issue with the Inel machine:
I have eddited the com.apple.hwmond.plist file and
made it identical to ones I have running that work. I rebooted and
hwmond is not running. I then decided to run as su in terminal
/System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup and I am getting back errors.
/Users/admin root# /System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup
launchctl: propertyList is NULL
launchctl: no plist was returned for:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
launchctl: no plist was returned for:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
nothing found to load
any ideas?

Server Monitor issues again?

Just upgraded my laptop with 10.5.3 (client version) which I use to manage servers. Since the Xserve's running 10.4.11, I downloaded the separate server monitor version a while back that supports this after they broke it with the 10.5.2. upgrade.
Now SM doesn't show any servers listed and then crashes. Anybody else having this issue? Is there a new version out?
Wolfman

I had the same problem. I upgraded both my client and my X-Serve to 10.5.3 only to discover that while Server Admin and Workgroup Manager were okay, Server Monitor crashed immediately when trying to connect. Using ARD, I copied the version of Server Monitor from my X-Serve that had been upgraded to 10.5.3 to my MBP and that solved my problem. I also copied Server Admin and Workgroup Manager down to my MBP as while they seemed to work, the version under 10.5.3 Server had different sizes.

Server Monitor Issue-My Server Wont Stay in List

Using server monitor on my G5 Desktop, or on the G4 Xserve is useless.
The problem is that the server no longer appears in the list. When I add it, it just flickers on the list for a second, then it disappears. Does anyone know what could be happening?
G5 Client: OSX 10.4.5
G4 XServe: OSX 10.4.5

I FIGURED IT OUT
I had the "Show Warnings and Failures only". This is kind of stupid because you are not aware that the server is listed. I guess this makes sense from a server farm viewpoint. Maybe there should be a checkbox that says "Make all servers visible" or something like that.

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.

What is a "logged in user" on the "Active Sessions" report in CF8 Server Monitor?

I was looking at the Active Sessions Report (The Chart View) and saw I have more "logged in users" than "active sessions".
I had expected them to be nearly the same.    It's on our Intranet where I log users in (using cflogin and cfloginuser) at the begining of their session and users should be logged when the session ends.
I couldn't find a detailed explaination of what a "logged in user" means.   There is a chance that the same user is logged into a nested application as well as the Intranet, but I don't think that is what I'm seeing.
I also don't see a way to get a list of what CF is counting as a logged in user. I can only see a way to get the total count.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Thank you Michael for the reply, but I don't think that is the issue.
When a user opens their browser on the intranet, a session begins and they are logged in (using the cflogin and cfloginuser).    If they close their browser, the session should hang around for 20 min. (per the server setting).   I am assuming this is still considered an "Active Session" since I can see this behavior in the report.
At first, the Active Sessions and Logged In Users are exactly the same.   When the sessions start to time out, the active sessions are reduced, but the Logged In Users remain the same.    Then, after a while, they start to move together. So I have more Logged In Users than Active Sessions.
I left the Server Monitor open last night and for most of the night, I had 0 sessions, but 57 "logged in users".   This morning, as people opened their browsers, the Active Sessions and Logged In Users moved together.   The gap of 57 looks consistent.
It looks like people are remaining logged in after their session ended.
I am really looking for a detailed explaination of "active session" and/or "logged in user" as used in the server monitor. It would be really nice to find a way to list the details about each item counted in the "logged in user" and not just the total count.
Thanks Again for your reply.

Server monitor not working (hardware monitor)

Just finnished installing my brand new maxed out Intel Xserves. And the Server monitor isn't working.
This thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=643361
Didn't solve my problem. hwmond is running on the Xserves but each server line just says "Waiting for response". My /System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras file doesn't even HAVE a Disabled key. It has Label, OnDemand, Program, ProgramArguments and ServiceIPC keys, but no Disabled. And the hwmonds is running anyway.
I have opened server monitor on the xserve itself and tried to open it to itself with no luck. I have configured Lights out management by choosing Server->Configure local Machine and added another IP there with different login, but I can't connect to either IP. Firewalls are all turned off.
Running /System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup just says "already loaded"
Server Admin works, I can log in and edit services. Workgroup manager also works.
When i run the hwmond as root on the server, it says "Failed to communicate with the front panel" which could be due to hwmond already running, but I can't turn off the process since launchd (?) launches it again.
When I choose "Configure local Machine" the password I entered is always blank, but maybe that's by design.
Since these servers aren't installed yet I have them in my office and their IP's are temporary, so I read this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106830
And it says that for this environment I should set the hostname to "localhost" in /etc/hostconfig. Done. Nothing changed.
I've googled this and searched here but found nothing. I'm running out of options... What should I do?

I set the server on a desk and do a fresh install off a DVD with the "erase HD" option. Then I install and configure the software I need (Software update, Sophos, power options, etc.) I did not configure LOM at that point, because I wasn't sure how to do it, and I needed to deploy the server. (luckily LOM was easy enough to set up after it was deployed.) Once the server is ready, I connect a FireWire HD to it, which has OS installed on it and boot from that.
That way my server is just an attached disk, and I use Disk Utility to create an image of it, which I then deploy on other servers.
I've had an issue with the G5 XServes where such a method required relatively simple modification before the server monitor would work:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301046
But, I've not had to do that with the Intel XServes.

Server monitor not working

Guys,
I have server monitor installed on a 10.5.8 client mini to monitor our 9 xserves and it works fine on all the older ones (all G4 or G5 xserves running tiger or panther) but will not detect any of the 4 new Intel Xeon xserves running 10.5 (mixture of .6 and .8). In each case it alternates between reporting "Software is not installed properly on server" and "CANNOTLOAD_BUNDLEERR".
I'm assuming this is something specific to 10.5 - some sort of SNMP setting or something perhaps? Obviously I've checked the passwords, I'm using root username/password for each one, all the servers are on and available, and like I say, it's working fine on the older ones.
Anybody had any experience with this and know the answer?
Further info: 3 of the servers (of which one is 10.5 and not working) are on the local network (local to the monitoring mini), the remaining 3 10.5's are each on other LAN's to which I have a currently working VPN. In each case the 10.5 machine which isn't working is on the same LAN as an older machine that is, so I know that's not the issue.

The Intel XServes seem to operate differently than the old G5 units when it comes to LOM. Mine has been giving me a bugger of a time getting Server Monitor to work properly, but right now it seems to be functioning..
Have you gone to Server Monitor on each of the Intel units and set up the "Configure Local Machine" from the Server menu? It should reject you if you enter the IP address of the Ethernet connection to your LAN - you have to use a different IP address. Configure only the information for 'Network 1' with the info for your LAN.
It may be purely anecdotal, but it seemed to start working for me after I enabled the firewall on the server, leaving all the ports on the LAN open and shutting everything down on the other address groups.

Installing Server Monitor on my G5 desktop?

We have a nice Xserve here at work and I'd like to be able to use Server Monitor remotely on my G5 desktop. Basically, this is a laziness issue since the server sits about 15 feet away from my desk. So, is there a way to do this?
\m/

Jeremy-
Sure you can.
Download the tools here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxserveradmintools.html
I am not sure what the licensing requirements are, but as long as you are running a legal copy of XServer software then you should be fine.
Luck-

Upgrading from 7 to 9 and server monitor

We just upgraded from cf7 to cf9 and are getting a message in the server monitor that is is unavailable in this version. Our server is Windows 2003 and IIS6 with the standard edition.
It appears to be the issue covered by this tech note
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/527/cpsid_52797.html
The files in the tech note though are for cf8, which we never had, so I'm not sure if it will work (and I'm a bit leery to experiment on a production server).
Matt

We did not do a 30 day trial install, if that is what you mean.
We did make a clone of the production server (since it is a vm) and installed it. The server monitor was not something we looked it. Our configuration has some quirks in that we process htm and html requests thru cold fusion. So that was the main focus and debugging nature of our testing. We also had some data source issues.
The server monitor is something we didn't have in 7, so I was just "checking it out" now that we are live on production.

Server Monitor is not connecting to Server but Server Admin does

I have a Leopard Server up and running. Also the internal network is setup correctly (changeip -checkhostname). Now I want to monitor that server from a Mac OS X Leopard laptop with the Server Monitor tool. So I installed the Administration Tools on the laptop.
Now I can administer and manage the workgroups but I CANNOT monitor it with the Server Monitor. I setup the server with its IP address and the same user name I use to connect using the Server Admin. The log just states *Failed to contact the server*. Again I work with the Server Admin and Workgroup Manager on that server without any issues but the Server Monitor does not work and it even *does not work locally* on the server itself.
Any pointers?
Thanks - Andy

He's right, it doesn't work on anything other than an xserve-
what are you running leopard server on?
if it IS an xserve, this was my problem.
I had my ethernet coming in on EN3- a PCIx card.
Guess what? Server monitor doesn't talk to anything other than EN0 or EN1 out of the box.
You SHOULD however be able to view the xserve itself- using 127.0.0.1 (worked for mine)
This kbase article put me in the right direction-- specifically the IPMITool
to conifigure lights out management(you HAVE to use it if you're using anything other than EN0 or EN1)

CF Server performance issue

For the past couple years our Cold Fusion 8 sites (working
with Databases) on Windows 2003 goes down alot. It seems the System
Admins have to reboot Cold Fusion to get it back up about 2 or 3
times a week. They are not sure what is causing it to go down but
think it might be related to Access databases working with Cold
Fusion. Is this a configuration issue or is Access a recurrent
problem working with Cold Fusion where it brings it down alot?
Please advise.

I'm a bit mystified that folks would offer that little bit of
info and ask, "please advise". You say you're "not sure what's
causing it to go down". Well that's job 1. You can't go on what
people guess at. What do the logs say? And not just the [CF]/logs,
but the [cf]/runtime/logs (or the [jrun]/logs, if on the
Multiserver form of deployment). And do you see any *pid*.log files
in the [cf]/runtime/bin (or [jrun]/bin) directory?
I realize these may be new resources for you to consider, so
sorry if I'm sounding a bit harsh. I'm just saying these are where
you need to start looking. I'm sure someone might reply to your
questions about Access, and certainly one could argue that you
should never use it, but before concluding that they necessarily
have anything at all to do with the problem, look instead for the
facts provided by the log files. CF doesn't just go down for no
reason.
Or is the problem not that it goes down, but that it becomes
unresponsive? You say you're on CF8. Is that Enterprise or
Standard? If the former, what do you see going on in the Server
Monitor? If you're on Standard, consider tools like FusionReactor
or SeeFusion (commercial tools with trial editions) to help give
you still more diagnostics to go on, or look into the JRun metrics
feature.
I realize that it's easy to feel at a loss, and that CF is a
black box. It's really not. You just need to know where to look and
how to connect the diagnostic dots. There's a good series of recent
troubleshooting blog entries by Mark Kruger, starting at
http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2008/8/11/troubleshooting-part1-gathering-informat ion.
There are similarly compelling troubleshooting blogs from Steven
Erat, Brandon Purcell, Robi Sen, and others. I'm not discouraging
your asking here. I'm just trying to help give you more resources
to consider.
Hope that's helpful.

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 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 can Server Monitor report status if LOM isn't configured?

I'm now managing a large number of Xserves (PPC & Intel, 10.4/5/6) and the organisation has not before relied on LOM or central reporting of faults.
I predict most of my issues are firewall related (many remote sites) but there are some remote machines that do appear and function in my Server Monitor running on my macbook... but when checking the LOM config on that server it turns out there's nothing configured... how is this so?
Does LOM have to be fully configured to allow Server Monitor to function? or only to allow for 'remote hands' when the server is flaky, and Server Montior will function just as long as LOM is enabled?

It may depend on the model of XServe. Older models did not have LOM so obviously LOM is not needed for those (e.g. an old G5 XServe). I also found that if your running Server Monitor on the XServe itself then it can locally monitor without LOM, but for other XServes I found I did need to configure LOM.
