Is the xymond status displaying any "ghost" reports? This would
indicate that the client hostname does not match the one defined in
the hosts.cfg file on the xymon server!

Hi J
I do have the IP of the Xymon server in xymonclient.cfg on the
hosts which has the client installed. I have checked from the
client if the port, 1984 is open and it is.
zeratul etc # telnet 89.22.97.130 1984
Trying 89.22.97.130...
Connected to 89.22.97.130.
Escape character is '^]'.
quit
Unfortunatelly there isn't anything more the the "conn" "info" and
"trends" on Xymon server display.
I can't see anything relevant in the xymond logs.
On the hosts which I have the client installed I have this:
zeratul client # ps aufx |grep xymon
root 10279 0.0 0.0 4452 756 pts/1 S+ 12:32

address of the Xymon server. Typically, this is configured in
the file xymonclient.cfg, where you can set XYMSRV to the correct
IP address.
Then you start the client running, perhaps by an init script.
The master Xymon client process is xymonlaunch. If this isn't
running, then you won't get any local details (cpu, memory, etc).
There are logfiles (on my system, in /var/log/xymon/) that might
help identify any problems.

Hello
I have just installed a fresh xymon server with the latest
xymon version. I have also managed to install the client on
some external host. Both are running fine and the monitoring
page is showing correctly. However I haven't managed to find
how can I configure multiple checks on the client side, as
for the single host I have added all I have is "conn", "info"
and "trends" columns. On the host which is running the xymon
client I have the following files which you can see below:
zeratul etc # pwd
/home/xymon/client/etc
zeratul etc # ls -la
total 40
drwxr-xr-x 2 xymon root 4096 2013-01-06 19:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 xymon root 4096 2013-01-06 16:58 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 975 2013-01-06 16:58 clientlaunch.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 20959 2013-01-06 16:58 localclient.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 1850 2013-01-06 16:58 xymonclient.cfg
I would like to enable at least cpu, load, memory, disk etc ...
Where can I make this available?
