Colin,
I have not installed any of the newer xymon versions, this is from 4.2.0.
On a system with eth0->eth3 plumbed up I set the client shell script (client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh) to:
echo "[ifstat]"
/sbin/ifconfig eth0
/sbin/ifconfig eth2
Verified the data sent from one of the 'Client data available' data sets.
Removed the rrd files for ifstat from the server for that client. (stopped/started the client).
On the trends page I see eth0 and eth2 only, no eth1 or eth3.
Yeah, it's a hack but it's fairly minor and should be easy enough to manage.
Just my 3 cents.
Tim

Hi Vernon and Tim
I'm working in a new dev/test environment using Xymon 4.3.2.
I'd wanted to avoid hacking the client-side script but if that's whats
required, I'll have a look.
TIA

This is a crazy guess, you don't mention which version of xymon so this may be way off. It may be way off anyway :)
If you are talking about the trends/"Network Traffic" graph it seems to be getting that data from the 'ifstat' var.
Some details follow.
1. what we graph for ifstat
hobbitgraph.cfg: FNPATTERN ifstat.(.+).rrd
See data/rrd/$hostname/ifstat.*
2. where ifstat originates
client/hobbitclient-linux.sh:
echo "[ifstat]"
/sbin/ifconfig
3. what happens to ifstat
hobbitd/client/linux.c: ifstatstr = getdata("ifstat");
hobbitd/client/linux.c: unix_ifstat_report(hostname, clienttype, os, hinfo, fromline, timestr, ifstatstr); <--- ifstatstr
You should be able to modify the client shell script to report other than ifconfig -a (which seems to be what is currently captured). Of course, there must be a better way.
Regards,
Tim

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
The only interfaces I want graphed are "rhevm" and "bond2".
