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!
