Hello John,
I ll try to answer your questions:
Have you confirmed msgcache is listening on your remote host?
that's what msgcache log on the client says:
2017-11-02 09:05:34.064994 Refused message from 127.0.0.1: pullclient 1
2017-11-02 09:05:34.065025 Rejected pullclient request from 127.0.0.1
it looks like it is listening since the last time i restarted the
serveice, then I have no logs.
Have you looked in the xymonfetch logfile? This is an option which canbe
defined in tasks.cfg
the xymonfetch log on the xymon server
2017-11-02 08:22:55.644671 Connection lost during connect/write to
127.0.0.1:1235 (req 4925): Connection refused
2017-11-02 08:38:07.598875 Connection lost during connect/write to
127.0.0.1:1235 (req 4957): Connection refused
Have you tried running your xymonfetch manually to see what happens?
This is how I was eventually able to figure out my problems.

Looks like it is ok but on my server html page I do not see the results
What version of xymon are you running?
4.3.28-1.el7.terabithia

Hello,
I am trying to set up xymonfetch/msgcache with ssh tunnelling (because
security does not want to open flows on port 1984).
I have enabled xymonfetch (in tasks.cfg) and added pulldata (in
hosts.cfg) on server side and also msgcache (in clientlaunch.cfg)
and XYMSRV=127.0.0.1 (in xymonclient.cfg).
I have done a ssh tunnel (ssh -L 1234:127.0.0.1:1984
IP_of_the_client) from the xymon server. My
tunnel is ok but xymon logs still show that nothing happens, no pulldata.
Is there something else I should do to enable this function?
I spent some time making xymonfetch/msgcache for for us. Some questions
for you:
Have you confirmed msgcache is listening on your remote host?
Have you looked in the xymonfetch logfile? This is an option which can
be defined in tasks.cfg
Have you tried running your xymonfetch manually to see what happens?
This is how I was eventually able to figure out my problems.
~/server/bin/xymoncmd ~/server/bin/xymonfetch --id=19 --debug
That will go through your hosts.cfg looking for pulldata tags. Those
hosts will then be asked for data. You may find that xymonfetch is not
querying the server:port combination you expect. You may find xymonfetch
is asking for data, and your client has not put anything into the msgcache.
What version of xymon are you running? Prior to [something pretty
recent], xymonfetch did not honor the "port" portion of the pulldata
tag. It would only query on port 1984. Look in the list archives, and
you will find my posts on this subject.
