OK then this threw me off a long time ago and someone gave me the same wrong answer I gave Roland. Shouldn't this be included by default? The understanding about other aspects of the client is that they are run on a server machine automatically, and there's no need to do anything special to get the full client running as well as the server.Why would this one aspect be different/unexpected?

Hi,

you could add your extra tests to clientlaunch.cfg, but by default this
file is not included in the config read from tasks.cfg.

So either add your extra tests directly in tasks.cfg, or add
  include /usr/lib/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg
to your tasks.cfg file.


Regards,
Henrik

I obviously missed something.

I got the same issue on 4.3.5 and 4.3.10
I find nothing in the server logs.
There are no client-logs in client/logs (even though specified)
I double checked the vars and they are working.

xymon at host % /usr/local/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd
2012-10-24 08:22:40 Using default environment file
/usr/local/xymon/client/etc/xymonclient.cfg
$ echo $XYMONCLIENTHOME/logs
/usr/local/xymon/client/logs

In client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg
[prtdiag]
        ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
        CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/xymon-prtdiag.ksh
        LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/logs/xymon-prtdiag.log
        INTERVAL 5m

It does all the normal client tests, client/tmp has all the normal
client-tmp stuff

Hi,


I am a bit confused on how to add extra tests to the xymon-server
itself.

In server/etc/tasks,cfg

I run the [xymonclient]

If I would like to add some other tests like ZFS and prtdiag I would
have though I add them as in any client in

client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg


But to get these tests work I have to add them in server/etc/tasks,cfg


What am I missing?
I'm pretty sure you don't need to do that. The client should read
clientlaunch and run what's in the cfg.
