To be perfectly honest, I just upgraded to 4.3.18 on March 27th from
4.3.13 on the server side, and cannot be positive that it was working in
4.3.18.  I certainly didn't notice that it wasn't working.

I can say that it was working in 4.3.13.

There is no hosts.cfg entry on the server side.

Is there anyone else having trouble with the summary function in

4.3.19?

From my remote server I am getting the following errors in
display.log:
2015-04-06 14:40:15.860975 Whoops ! Failed to send message

My hosts.cfg file looks like:
summary Remotes.MyRemoteSite 63.240.185.103
https://my.url.com/MyRemoteSite/

I have 4 servers that I just upgraded to 4.3.19 and all were a mix
from
4.3.18 to 4.3.0 and all worked fine prior to the upgrade.

I am able to telnet to N.N.N.N:1984 from my remote sites.  I do
not
have
any firewalls running on my main server.

Ideas?

Hmm. I'm not aware of anything that would have changed in this
regard, especially in a way that would have looked like a
communications issue.
Can you verify with a 'ping' and 'dummy' message that normal
connectivity from those boxes work normally?

If so, can you run xymongen with --debug enabled? There should be an
init_sum section and a segment near the end showing it being sent
off.

I can repeat this, it is something on the server side.  It was last
seen working here on 4.3.13.

In a lab I have 3 servers, 2 on Solaris (4.3.4 & 4.3.19) and 4.3.19
on
CentOS 5.  I am sending the summary from the CentOS server to both of
the Solaris servers.  The hosts.cfg on the CentOS server contains
:-


summary builds.centos63_i686 192.168.2.124 http://192.168.2.61/xymon/

summary builds.centos63_i686 192.168.2.122 http://192.168.2.61/xymon/

This is appearing correctly on 4.3.4 (192.168.2.122), but missing
completely on 4.3.19 (192.168.2.124)

Here is a clue, checking xymondboard on each Solaris server from the
CentOS server :-

$ xymon 192.168.2.122 "xymondboard test=centos63_i686"

summary|builds.centos63_i686|green||0|1428398444|1428400244|0|0|192.16

summary|8.2.61||green
http://192.168.2.61/xymon/ Tue Apr  7 10:20:05 2015

$ xymon 192.168.2.124 "xymondboard
test=centos63_i686"

|builds.centos63_i686|green||1428387271|1428398444|1428400244|0|0|192.

|168.2.61||green

(note the missing "summary" psuedo hostname field stored on 4.3.19).

Gotcha.

Can you give your server-side hosts.cfg line for this?

John: Was your previous direct server version 4.3.18, or were you
running an older version than that?

Just installed 4.3.18 in the lab, definitely NOT working at 4.3.18 either.

Welp, that helps!

I'll start taking a look back and see if I can find what might have
affected this.

Any additional data points would be quite helpful :)
