ESVA dead but still alive..

ESVA dead but still alive..

It seem’s that the developer of esva (the anti spam vmware appliance) has dropped his work on the project (for a unknow reason). This means that the website www.global-domination.org is down, and there is no more support from the original developer and all the forum’s and documentation is gone, trying to reach the original websites will give you a timeout.

Luckily the project is still alive but it will take some time before everything is back to normal as alot of information needs to be found and put together again.

There is a new forum at: http://www.esvacommunity.com/forum and a new sourceforge page that hosts the project files: https://sourceforge.net/projects/esva-project/

Version 2.0.5.7 is available for download from the sourceforge page but using the esva-upgrade script to upgrade to the latest version won’t work. But there is a workaround to upgrade to the latest version by downloading the files from a other mirror.

i’ve setup a mirror at my own server (as I manage a bunch of esva servers) and I made my own script to update my esva systems to the latest version, its available for download but please check on the forums and sourceforge if there is a new way of upgrading!

user@computer:$ wget http://www.troublenow.org/esva/update/update-esva.sh

sh update-esva.sh

The system will start to upgrade your esva to 2.0.6.0 and reboot automatically after the upgrade.
To view your current version of esva when the system has rebooted:

user@computer:$ cat /var/esva/currentversion

The system should be upgraded to 2.0.6.0 now and ready for mail processing.

MRTG APC UPS battery info

MRTG APC UPS battery info

In addition to the APC PDU’s which you can graph nicely to see the power usage, it is also possible to graph a UPS so you can monitor the UPS with mrtg.

In this case I will be using a APC Smart-UPS VT 40 which supports graphing the battery temperature, battery capacity, input & output frequency, minimum & maximum line voltage and the reason why the UPS switched to battery (see below for a example)

First create your MRTG config dir in /etc/ if it doesn’t exists yet and create a mrtg dir in your www root (in my case /var/www) the name of the UPS I will be monitoring is ‘UPS001’.

trouble@sun:$ sudo mkdir /etc/mrtg
trouble@sun:$ sudo mkdir -p /var/www/mrtg/UPS001

Then create the mrtg config file: /etc/mrtg/APC001.cfg and add the following content:

Be sure to change the SNMP community and IP to your settings and the location of your www root if you use some other location.

Now add the following line to your crontab to run mrtg every 5 minutes.

*/5 * * * *   env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/UPS001.cfg >> /var/log/mrtg/mrtg.log 2>&1

Create a index.html in /var/www/mrtg/UPS001:
