How about that -- historical knowledge from a mailing list!

I was one of the original installers of this installation. In this
case, we modified scripts and ran the client separately from
$XYMONHOME/client

Start the client by changing to the $XYMONHOME/client directory
and running, runclient.sh start

That should resolve your issue.

It looks like the green tests are all standard Xymon tests and the purple ones might be external scripts in client/ext/ in the Xymon (or Hobbit) home directory. Check the client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg
on any of the purple-plagued clients and see if any of the purple
tests are mentioned.

Either the server isn't gathering it or the clients aren't
sending the data.

The raid script that I have is sent by the client.
Thanks, Josh, but can you point out where I can check to see which of those options is my likely culprit?

Also, don’t quite follow your comment about your “raid script”.
What raid script?

Sorry!

All .

Am fairly new to Xymon and apologize if this is documented
somewhere and I missed it.

I have inherited a Xymon server (4.3.3 on Solaris 10) which
shows itself as having about half its tests as .purple., the
other half as green. As far as I can tell, everything.s running
just fine. It seems to be a simple data refresh problem of some
sort, but haven.t been able prove my hunch.

The problem started after  a reboot of the server. Everything
came up OK, except for the following list of .missing. tests:

Purple Tests: iostat   iostat2  mem2 meta  nfs  prtdiag   raid
sar  tm  zones

Green Tests: bbd      conn     cpu      disk     http     info
memory   msgs ntp       ports    procs   ssh  trends

I.ve restarted the server: (.$xymon_home/xymon.sh restart.) and
tried to find something in the logs, but am not making ground
on this fast enough.

Help?

Thanks!
