Hi J

I do have the IP of the Xymon server in xymonclient.cfg on the hosts which has the client installed. I have checked from the client if the port, 1984 is open and it is.

zeratul etc # telnet 89.22.97.130 1984
Trying 89.22.97.130...
Connected to 89.22.97.130.
Escape character is '^]'.
quit

Unfortunatelly there isn't anything more the the "conn" "info" and "trends" on Xymon server display.

I can't see anything relevant in the xymond logs.

On the hosts which I have the client installed I have this:

zeratul client # ps aufx |grep xymon
root     10279  0.0  0.0   4452   756 pts/1    S+   12:32 0:00      |   |   |               \_ grep --colour=auto xymon

The only configuration required on the Xymon client is the IP address of the Xymon server.  Typically, this is configured in the file xymonclient.cfg, where you can set XYMSRV to the correct IP address.

Then you start the client running, perhaps by an init script.  The master Xymon client process is xymonlaunch.  If this isn't running, then you won't get any local details (cpu, memory, etc).

There are logfiles (on my system, in /var/log/xymon/) that might help identify any problems.

    Hello

    I have just installed a fresh xymon server with the latest xymon
    version. I have also managed to install the client on some
    external host. Both are running fine and the monitoring page is
    showing correctly.  However I haven't managed to find how can I
    configure multiple checks on the client side, as for the single
    host I have added all I have is "conn", "info" and "trends"
    columns. On the host which is running the xymon client I have the
    following files which you can see below:

    zeratul etc # pwd
    /home/xymon/client/etc
    zeratul etc # ls -la
    total 40
    drwxr-xr-x 2 xymon root  4096 2013-01-06 19:31 .
    drwxr-xr-x 8 xymon root  4096 2013-01-06 16:58 ..
    -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root   975 2013-01-06 16:58 clientlaunch.cfg
    -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 20959 2013-01-06 16:58 localclient.cfg
    -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root  1850 2013-01-06 16:58 xymonclient.cfg

    I would like to enable at least cpu, load, memory, disk etc ...

    Where can I make this available?
