Conn is checked from the server side, not the client side. It sounds like
you haven't told the client where to connect to. Where did you configure
the xymon server IP address?

I'd seriously suggest using a prebuilt RPM (search the archives for
this/last month, there are a few posts), it puts various config files in
/etc that are easier to diagnose configuration issues with than hand
compiled installs.

Hi,
Conn, info and trends are green as always.
cpu, disk, memory, msgs, ports and procs are purple.

 So - your network tests ( server to client ) are green and current?
Server to client comms OK.

Your client tests are purple, no ghosts, no logfetch.* files?  Client to
server comms NOTOK.

  Hi,

Do you have anything under Ghost reports on the xymon server?
I don't have anything under ghost report.

Are the client and server on the same or different hosts?
They are running on different hosts.

Is the client pointing at the correct address and port for the xymon server
Yes it is pointing the correct address and port.

How do you know files are missing from ~/client/tmp directory .. what are
you expecting to see there?
When the client functioned(the test were green in xymon server) correctly
i saw two more files there logfetch.clientname.cfg and logfetch.
clientname.status.

Have you checked the clientlaunch.log and xymonclient.log files for errors
in  ~/client/logs?
I see no errors.

Regards,
Traian.

  Hi,
That one i have solved it, but....
Now i have reinstallled the client and i started it using ./runclient.sh
--hostname=host start command from xymon user.
On the xymon server web page all the tests(disk,cpu etc) appear in violet
colour and i see there the last report i had from when it functioned ok.
On the client i have issued some commands and you have the output here:

[root at otpproxy1 tmp]# ps -ef | grep xymon
xymon     3785     1  0 09:44 ?        00:00:00 ./bin/xymonlaunch
--config=./etc/clientlaunch.cfg --log=./logs/clientlaunch.log
--pidfile=./logs/clientlaunch.otpproxy1.pid
xymon     5892     1  0 13:54 ?        00:00:00 sh -c vmstat 300 2
1>./tmp/xymon_vmstat.otpproxy1.5867 2>&1; mv
./tmp/xymon_vmstat.otpproxy1.5867 ./tmp/xymon_vmstat.otpproxy1
xymon     5894  5892  0 13:54 ?        00:00:00 vmstat 300 2

[root at otpproxy1 tmp]# ps -e | grep xymon
 3785 ?        00:00:00 xymonlaunch
[root at otpproxy1 tmp]# ls -l
total 36
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 32690 Feb 27 13:54 msg.otpproxy1.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon   246 Feb 27 13:54 xymon_vmstat.otpproxy1.5867
[root at otpproxy1 tmp]#

As i see there are some files missing from tmp directory. I don't
understand why.
Can you please give me a hint?
Regards,
Traian.
