Maybe I missed something in the email chain, but you shouldn't have to
touch localclient.cfg file on a client.
The analysis.cfg file on the Xymon server should have the PROC entries
in it. Unless the client and server
are the same, then you need to start xymonclient.sh with a '--local'
switch, but even then, let the server handle it.
Again if I missed something, then my apologies

If your server is only showing conn, http, info, smtp and

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.

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.
