If your server is only showing  conn, http, info, smtp and trends, then the client is not reporting anything.  So either:

  1) xymon is not running on the client;
The process is running.
  2) the client is reporting a different name to what the server expects;
I would like for it to report only under the first part of the name (i.e. name.domain.com and use name instead) When I put both of these in the config files it doesn't work but if I use the fqdn it starts reporting.  I did this and now I have a "Clear" status for files, ports, and procs.  I have spent hours trying different configs in my localclient.cfg on the server I wanted monitored but nothing is working.  I did check to see if the server was in ghosts clients and it is not here. So it is communicating with the xymon server since I am able to see all of my processes listed under the procs colums but what I have in my localclient.cfg files seems to be getting ignored.  Here is what I have:
HOST=xxx.xxxxx.xx
   UP 1h
   LOAD 5.0 10.0
   DISK * 90 95
   MEMPHYS 100 101
   MEMSWAP 50 80
   PROC httpd 1 20 red
   PROC qrunner 1 50 red

Here is what it looks like now on my server:

  3) the client is sending reports to some ip that is not the xymon server

Do you see anything in the "Ghost Clients" list on the "Reports"  tab in the web page??  If the client name is being reported wrong, that's where it should show up.

    I had a redhat client and have xymon running on it but it's not
    reporting what I have in the localclient.cfg file.  It's only
    reporting (conn, http, info, smtp and trends) which is what the
    server has been configured to look at.  I have the following in my
    file:


    HOST="lists.domain"
       UP 1h
       PROC httpd 1 5
       PROC postfix  1 15


    Bothing is showing up under PROCS on my server.  I know I am
    editing the right file and that the service is running.  Both
    configs have the same host name - what am I doing wrong. I am
    running the latest version of xymon.  I also have both machines on
    the same network and they can see each other so I know it's not a
    port blocking issue.
