I have a single host that won’t show anything but the CONN column on the

populated on the server end. I have many, many other clients installed,
some in this same location and on the same network. Normally this might
be a short name vs FQDN name in bb-hosts, but I have both the short and
fqdn in the file currently. I am running an older version of Xymon 4.2
still, but again no issue with other hosts. Any other idea what might
be causing the DISPLAY not to be populated?
Thanks
Hi Johnathan,
You should check under Reports --> Ghost Clients to see if the system is
sending in reports under a different hostname, or different fqdn than
your bb-hosts is configured to be expecting.
If it is, you can do one of a couple things:
1. on the client, add a --hostname host.example.com to the list that
starts your runclient.sh script and set host.example.com to whatever
FQDN you have in your bb-hosts file
2. On the client's line in bb-hosts add the CLIENT option and define it
as whatever the Ghost Client report shows it to be reporting as.
Other possibility is that there is a firewall (host based or otherwise)
blocking that one client from connecting to your server on port 1984/TCP
And final possibility is that the client is misconfigured and is trying
to send its reports to 127.0.0.1 or somewhere else. Check the
~xymon/client/hobbitclient.cfg file (pretty sure that is what it was
called back then)
Hope this helps!
Bill
