Have you checked your ghost report? Perhaps it's being rejected due to a
hostname mismatch.
Are you sending a client message? Client data should come in as a client
message rather than data or status. See "man xymon" for the format.
Perhaps you could show us the first 10 lines of the message.<hostname>txt
files?
You could run something like this:
sudo -u xymon xymoncmd xymond_channel --channel=client sed -n
'/^@@client/,+10p' "
to see if the client messages is being received and processed by Xymon.
This prints the first 10 lines of every client message.

How to get client data to Xymon server using BBwincmd?
I have BBWin installed on a Test PC and it reports to my Xymon server just
fine. When I view the client on the Xymon Server, I have Client Data
available at the bottom of my tests. This is same contents as the
msg.<hostname>.txt in the tmp directory
However, I have another system that I am testing on at this time, I can't
install BBWin on, but I have a series of vbscripts that I am running that
gather the same data and write out a msg.<hostname>.txt for that system.
From what I have read and understand, I can use the BBwincmd.exe to upload
that msg.<hostname>.txt to the Xymon server.
For whatever reason, I can not get the client data to show up for this
other system.
I have compared the two msg.<hostname>.txt from each PC and the are
basically identical in format.
I have looked at BBWinCmd /? and I believe that BBWinCmd
<bbdisplay>:<port> uploadmessage <filename> is the correct option, but the
Xymon server never shows Client Data for the second host.
If I have the scripts, run BBWinCmd status <hostname> <test> <status>
<reportdata>, all the information displays on the Xymon server just fine.
Can someone please help point me in the right direction?
Thanks
