Server Monitoring Problem

I have had a situation where we installed CF 8 and ran the
trial version for some time before we bought the Standard LIcense
and applied it. We were checking out the server monitoring during
our trial period, and had it enabled. Now--because we are running
the Standard edition the server monitor is unavailable. However--I
am still receiving emails generated by the server monitor. Is there
a way to disable the server monitor--without accessing the
interface?
Thanks,

Go to "neo-monitoring.xml" in "\ColdFusion8\lib"
change
<var name="monitoringenabled">
<boolean value="false" />
</var>
save the file and restart the server.

Problems with server monitor

Hi all,
2 days ago, I cant connect to my xserve via Server Monitor ... and I dont know why. Via server admin I dont have any problem. The message is the following:
"Waiting for response" ....
I see the following web:
http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20070211101829496&query=lights%2Bout%2Bm anagement
Is useful this command?
Is there any manner to restart the LOM Interface without power off the xserve?

I've seen that happen once or twice, when the Xserve LOM got confused and/or the daemon became confused.
In the immortal words of the IT Crowd — "Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?" I've cleared that by shutting down Xserve entirely, removing grid power for 30+ seconds — it's that power removal which triggers the complete LOM reset, the physical disconnection of Xserve from the grid power — and then re-connecting and re-powering and rebooting the Xserve. If Xserve isn't physically disconnected from grid power, the LOM retains power.
Here are the LOM setup details. There are a couple of related threads around, as well; here's one.
You may alread be aware of this, but if you're using Server Monitor directly from the local Xserve system, you must use the local connection path and not the network path, too.

Server Monitor on Intel XServe Problem

2 weeks ago - our new XServe Intel arrived. It is our 3rd, one G4 XServe running 10.3.1 sind 2003, one DualG5 XServe running 10.4.8 since 2005 - nonstop uptime.
So both machines run well.
With the Intel XServe I installed the new AdminTools like ServerMonitor on a Powerbook G4 and a old G4-466 - both running 10.4.8
But now I have 2 Problems:
First: With Intel XServes Server Monitor I can access the 10.3 Server, but I cant see the little icons and check things like van rpm or CPU temperature - it just shows nothing. Using the G5s 10.4 ServerMonitorversion it works.
Second: I am unable to connect to the Intel XServe via Server Monitor - it always tells me "Auf Antwort warten" in English like "Waiting for response", not even with the G5 Softwareversion.
I already checked the com.apple.hwmond.plist file and startet the hwmondSetup in the Terminal - nothing works.
Even not, when I start the application on the XServe itself.
ServerAdmin and the rest of bundled software is running well.
Anybody knows?

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 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.

CF8 on Apache: server monitor's flex2gateway 500 error

The basic problem has been fairly well documented elsewhere, but this is it in a nutshell:
When you attempt to bring up the server monitor (a Flex app) in CF 8, the monitor can fail to let you in, and instead display a 'Coldfusion Server is Unavailable' message. On the backend, I see this:
2011-06-13 17:58:55,051 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/].[MessageBrokerServlet ]] Servlet.service() for servlet MessageBrokerServlet threw exception
flex.messaging.MessageException: No configured channel has an endpoint path '/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure/index.cfm'.
I've seen documentation on how to fix this in IIS and JRun, but we're using Apache 2.2 and JBoss.
Been scouring the Interwebs for a solution, but it's eluded me.
Can anyone help? Thanks much in advance.
Steve

Looks as though one solution is to bypass Apache by hitting CF Admin via the JBoss port that it's running on. As that's working for me, I'll mark this question as answered! :-)

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 Monitor error - "CANNOT LOAD BUNDLE ERR"

I got 2 Xserve(s) intel based - 1 installed 10.6.8 and the other 10.5.8 - both server(s) are upto date on software updates.
Server Monitor works fine on both of these server(s) when run locally (from the server). When I run the Server Monitor from my local machine (still in the same network), the server with 10.5.8 works fine, but the server with 10.6.8 shows the error "CANNOT LOAD BUNDLE ERR". I am not sure where I am making a mistake.
Any help highly appreciated..:)
Regards,
-Raj.

I'm having the same problem. Were you able to fix it?
Thanks

Server monitor reporting a memory error

Every 10 mins or so, Server monitor flashes a red dot on Memory Slot 2 (dot number 3 on the status screen) on our Intel XServe. There is an Apple supplied 1024MB (1 gig) chip in there, ECC DDR2 FB-DIMM
It reports...
ECC Error # 1
It flashes for about 10 mins or so and then goes back to green.
Any idea what this is? Is it a dodgy chip that I need to replace or is it the EEC doing it's thing and correcting a memory error?

Any idea what this is? Is it a dodgy chip that I need to replace or is it the EEC doing it's thing and correcting a memory error?
Both.
The upshot is that the DIMM is having problems, however, the problems are within the ECC's ability to correct, so it's not impacting the server's performance.
It's not uncommon to find a few ECC errors over time, but if the number of errors is increasing every 10 minutes or so (as opposed to just staying the same) then it indicates enough of a problem that I'd look to replace the DIMM ASAP.

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)

Server monitor broken after upgrade to 10.4.11

I have a Macbook client which was running 10.4.10
I also had the server admin tools installed to monitor approx 30 servers, some PPC, some Intel, OS's ranging from 10.4.7 to 10.4.11.
I have upgraded my MacBook to 10.4.11
The server monitor tool is 1.5f6
Now using Server monitor I can only monitor 2/3's of my systems
Lots of them are showing as "No Response" or "waiting for response".
I have tried deleting/re-inserting
I have tried earlier versions of the Server Monitor tools
I have tried a Leopard client running 10.5 server tools.
Also when I now go to any of the systems that I cannot monitor from my client, running server monitor locally (127.0.0.1) also shows "waiting for response"
Can anyone help please

I'm having similar problems and hoping someone has found a solution.
I'm on Leopard now (10.5.1) and have recently configured SNMP so that I can monitor a server (MacPro tower). It appears that SNMP is working fine at the command line. For example, I can run a status easily enough:
ra:~ administrator$ snmpstatus -c public localhost
[UDP: [127.0.0.1]:161]=>[Darwin ra.local 9.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.1.0: Wed Oct 31 17:46:22 PDT 2007; root:xnu-1228.0.2~1/RELEASE_I386 i386] Up: 0:24:37.39
Interfaces: 6, Recv/Trans packets: 43993/43404 | IP: 44772/42918
2 interfaces are down!
However, Server Monitor simply keeps giving me this:
1/27/08 12:42:48 PM: Failed to contact server
1/27/08 12:43:00 PM: Failed to contact server
1/27/08 12:43:12 PM: Failed to contact server
I've also noticed a problem with hwmon, apparently:
ra:~ administrator$ sudo /usr/sbin/hwmond
hwmond will NOT run on this platform.
Huh. Very peculiar. So, from what I can tell, it seems like SNMP is running and should be (probably is) responding, but Server Monitor is not getting in. I'm not familiar with Server Monitor, but one thing I noticed is that if I try to run an SNMP status without specifying an appropriate community, I get a similar result as Server Monitor:
ra:~ administrator$ snmpstatus -c notARealCommunity localhost
Timeout: No Response from localhost
So, what community does Server Monitor use? Is there a way to change it? Is there somewhere that I can get a default SNMP configuration file that would work with Server Monitor?
Any help would be appreciated.

Does Server Monitor software work with Mac Pros?

Last time we were purchasing a new server we noticed that Server Monitor doesn't work with Power Macs. Is this still the case with the latest Intel-based Mac Pros?

Hi again Christiaan-
Just to clarify, are you saying that OSX Server is running on the Power Mac and you are using another computer to connect?
If so, which version of each software and which Power Mac?
I am curious as I've had no problem with said configuration.
Luck-

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 says "CANNOT_LOAD_BUNDLE_ERR"

Hi all,
Any server admin around?
On my freshly installed 10.7.3 Server I can't get the "Server Monitor" runing properly.
It doesn't show any information (except of IP and log) while Server Admin and Workgroupmanager are working fine.
Log says "Failed to contact server" in both cases, runin' on the server itself and runin' remote on a management client.
Any suggestions welcome
TIA
Bernhard

I'm having the same problem. Were you able to fix it?
Thanks

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?
