Thanks for ALL your valuable feedback!
I'm glad you sorted it out.
The hint from Ryan seemed to have cured the client page reporting issues.
As it turned out, the AIX clients in questioned showed up in 'Ghost
Clients' list on in short hostname as opposed to it's real FQDN hostname.
This explanation doesn't fit with this symptom:
/xymon/logs # tail -10 xymonclient.log
...
2016-05-18 15:56:51.683098 Whoops ! Failed to send message (timeout)
nor this:
/xymon/bin # ./xymon --debug 172.31.2.131 test
...
9568302 2016-05-18 15:58:42.134223 Timeout while talking to Xymon
daemon at 172.31.2.131:1984 - retrying
If your client cannot talk to the Xymon server, it cannot create a ghost
client entry. The cause of the above symptoms remains a mystery (to me).
