Client uptime status is failing

Hi,

I have removed the uptime from hosts.cfg file and  --uptime-status is inserted in tasks.cfg. yet I do not see the uptime column in it . Please check below, I have tried all the resolution available on the net, but I m not able to figure this one out.

I've never seen that before - have you added uptime to hosts.cfg?  If so, remove it!  (It looks like the Xymon server is testing a network service here, and uptime is not a network service!)

Kind regards,

Hi,

Do you mind giving any suggestions on why only the Xymon server uptime is reporting correctly whereas the client says that service is unavailable. Not sure what I am missing here.

This may be down to what your clients are reporting.  What client version(s) are you talking about here?

Kind regards,

Hi,
I am having trouble w.r.t to uptime status generation in clients. The server is displaying uptime correctly since xymond fetches the data, whereas for the clients it does not fetch the uptime data. However it populates all other columns. Can you please suggest if I am missing anything here.

Situation :

Xymon server  and Xymon clients are  configured. The table is populated with colors and data being generated except for uptime in clients whereas the server is reporting uptime correctly. This is probably because of xymond daemon. The status message also indicated service not available which indicates xymond service.  So how can we get the Xymon clients to  update the uptime.

Tasks.cfg file :

# The client back-end module. You need this if you are running the Xymon client on any system.
[clientdata]
        ENVFILE /home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD xymond_channel --channel=client --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/clientdata.log xymond_client --uptime-status

Status message :

[cid:user-761c62a55bae@xymon.invalid7ADCF0]
