Package: xymon-client
Version: 4.3.27-3+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Network Traffic ifstat graph fails to display proper interface name or
present data for active interface.
Data for the client is collected in /var/lib/xymon/tmp/msg.$HOST.txt file:
wlp4s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.120 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 ****** prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
inet6 ****** prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>
ether ****** txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 74747 bytes 22709910 (21.6 MiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 52902 bytes 22359140 (21.3 MiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
This data *should* create the appropriate appropriate ifstat.wlp4s0.rrd file
for presentation, but this interface is completely ignored, and attempts to
use the INTERFACES flag in hosts.cfg have been unsuccessful.
This could be a result of two things. First, I suspect that net-tools is
the problem as it now presents a colon after the interface name, and possibly
other artifacts. A less likely second issue could be with systemd 197 which
creates a new naming convention to interfaces which renders them unknown.
Because of the systemd issue, I do not have "normal" interfaces such as
eth0 or wlan0, and therefore can't determine which scenario is the real
problem. The displayed graph is blank with what may be default interfaces
of eth0 and tun0 with no traffic recorded.
