I am using the xmppBot zenpack and it looks like it doesn't play well with 2.5. The daemon won't start and this is the error I am given:

Type: OSError
Value: [Errno 8] Exec format error

Traceback (innermost last):

Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 119, in publish
Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply
Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 42, in call_object
Module Products.ZenModel.ZenossInfo, line 760, in manage_daemonAction
Module Products.ZenModel.ZenossInfo, line 778, in doDaemonAction
Module subprocess, line 543, in __init__
Module subprocess, line 975, in _execute_child

OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

I am going to take a closer look and see if I can get more info. Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit:

Information I get when starting from command line:

xmppBot start
starting...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/zenoss/zenoss/ZenPacks/ZenPacks.chudler.xmppBot-1.0-py2.4.egg/ZenPacks/chudler/xmppBot/xmppBot.py", line 23, in ?

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

Well I got the error to clear...sorta.

Per the explanation found at http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10249 it looks like the Class definition on line 23 was backwards.

When I flip it from

class XmppBot(PBDaemon, ZCmdBase, ZenActions)

to

class XmppBot(ZenActions, ZCmdBase, PBDaemon)

The error goes away but the daemon doesn't stay up. I am thinking I just need to find the part of the code that calls XmppBot and flip the order of the variables it is submitting.

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

so the code in def __init__(self) seem to be out of order now that the class definiton attributes have been reorganized.

i'll try moving things around, but does anyone else have a clearer picture of what's going on here?

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

The Zenoss devs are watching the forum closely for 2.5 issues so hopefully this will be picked up by them for resolution.

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

Actually, just noticed that this is a community pack (thought it was a core pack for some reason). I've sent an email to Colin (the author of the pack) about this...

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

Thanks for the report. I found and fixed this problem on 7 OCT 09 in <http://zenpacks.zenoss.org/trac-zenpacks/changeset/401>. I haven't built a new egg yet. I expect to release the updated version on Wed. Sorry for the problem, I didn't know it would fail in 2.5; when I first saw the bug, I was testing some completely unrelated functionality on 2.4.5.

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

Good news! I managed to publish the new version (1.1) at
docs/DOC-3496

There are quite a lot of enhancements and bugfixes:

The bug mentioned in this thread
Better handling of missing JabberID property on zenusers.
Better handling of alert notifications using default JabberID or explicit "address"
Correct detection of datapoints for components and subcomponents for data extraction
Improved handling of roster, presence notifications, room invites, and broken/non-standard jabber clients
Numerous other changes stemming from code audit for stability.

This version is an update and can be installed alone or as an update over 1.0. Either way it will work just fine, even if your current version is broken. Tested in 2.4.1-2.4.5 and 2.5 Core and Enterprise (Enterprise 2.5 is not tested, since it is not available yet; no problems are anticipated). Don't forget to unzip the zenpack before installing it.

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am using the version 1.1 but getting the same error when I try to start the Daemon.

Type: OSError
Value: [Errno 8] Exec format error
Traceback (innermost last):
Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 119, in publish
Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply
Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 42, in call_object
Module Products.ZenModel.ZenossInfo, line 760, in manage_daemonAction
Module Products.ZenModel.ZenossInfo, line 778, in doDaemonAction
Module subprocess, line 543, in __init__
Module subprocess, line 975, in _execute_child
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

I double check that I had 1.1 and even tried to delete the Zenpack and reinstall the egg, but xmppBot won't start.

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

Nevermind. It turned out to be something I did. I removed and reinstalled zenoss and the daemon is now starting. However, I can't figure out what I am doing wrong with the xmppbot.config. It looks like it connects in the log, but the user never comes online. The tail of the log shows:

tail $ZENHOME/log/xmppbot.log

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

Sorry to bump the old thread, but I ran into the same issue natewhistler had, and didn't see a solution anywhere in the forums.

We run openfire server, and require SSL. The bot doesn't work with TLS, only SSL (usually on port 5223). However, I couldn't get the bot to use it's native ssl capability. The zenpack page mentions using stunnel to do the ssl, and that worked like a charm for me.

In the xmppBot.conf, the ssl parameter is commented out, and these parameters are set:

jabber_host = localhost
jabber_port = 5223
im_host = jabber.domain.com

Our stunnel.conf:

[jabber]
client = yes
accept = localhost:5223
connect = jabber.domain.com:5223

This is a great zenpack, thanks to the author! It really increased the usability of zenoss, as we can easily acknowledge alarms from our mobile devices via xmpp.

Re: xmppBot in 2.5

I never got this work. I eventually gave up as I ran out of time to screw with it.
