Ok see, this is real similar to the problem I'm having, except I can't get
it to work (Xymon 4.2.3).
My debian hosts are sending the following:
client xxxx.xxxxx.org.linux linux
The bit after the hostname is used to define the OS type. This is
obtained, at the client, from the lower-cased output of "uname -s", but can
be overridden by defining in xymonclient.cfg by setting SERVEROSTYPE. See
the man page for xymonclient.cfg for info. If you add
"SERVEROSTYPE=debian" into xymonclient.cfg (and restart xymon), then you
should get your client data showing this:
client xxxx.xxxxx.org.debian linux
I haven't tried this, but it might do what you want.
Our [debian] servers keep some files in a different location than our
other Linux servers (Redhat) so the Debian servers get "File is missing"
errors and I have to disable the test to prevent the warning from showing
up.
I have a global [linux] section, and per-host definitions where they
deviate. It's a bit of a hassle replicating the same definitions for a
bunch of identical hosts, but I only have to set it up once per host.
