Xymon status does not get updated

Xymon comes with a proxy.

You turn it on in tasks.cfg

First, set Big Brother to 1986, or something. Sorry, I don't know how to do that.

Second, set the xymon server to another port:

[xymond]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        CMD xymond --listen=0.0.0.0:1985 --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.pid --restart=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-file=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.log --admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$XYMONSERVERIP --store-clientlogs=!msgs

You'll also need to have xymonnet go to the right place.

[xymonnet]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD XYMONDPORT=1984 xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon-network.log
        INTERVAL 5m

And of course, the repeat process:

[xymonnetagain]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD XYMONDPORT=1984 $XYMONHOME/ext/xymonnet-again.sh
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonnet-again.log
        INTERVAL 1m

I would guess that Big Brother has the same sort of deal.

Then set the proxy on port 1984:

[xymonproxy]
        ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
        CMD $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonproxy --server=127.0.0.1:1985,127.0.0.1:1986 --listen=0.0.0.0:1984 --report=$MACHINE.xymonproxy --no-daemon --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.pid
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.log

Any recommendations on such software? I've not got a need for this
anymore, but I can see it coming in handy in the future.

Change the primary port, 1984 to a proxy. And move Big Brother to
another port, and the new xymon to a separate port. Then the proxy
forwards to those ports.

There is no secondary xymon server but there is a big
brother running. My task at the moment is to gradually retire
big brother and move everything to Xymon but I still have a
LONG way to go.

That's not going to work. They both listen on the same port, which
is impossible. If you want to, you can use an alternate port for
Xymon and go that route.
