Hi Chris

Hmm ... On your suggestion I went to "Reports" > " Ghost Clients " and 
indeed I have that host listed there. Apparently xymon reads the "short" 
host name, without domain name (fqdn).

Thank you.

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

    The only configuration required on the Xymon client is the IP
    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?
