Srinu, The fact that you cannot see any disk, memory or other information points to the fact that the client Xymon program is not running, or is talking to your server on a different IP address. Bring up the Xymon web page and look at the Ghost Clients report page. Is your client listed there? Maybe under a different IP address? If you cannot see anything useful in this page then login to the client and change to the ~hobbit/client/logs directory. Look in the hobbitclient.log file for connectivity issues. Also, whilst on the client try connecting to the Xymon server on port 1984 like so: $ telnet xymon.server.ip.address 1984 You should get a "connected" notice. If you don't then there is a firewall/network/routing issue between the two boxes. |\/|artin

So your client has the name pluto, right?
-bash-3.00# vi /export/home/xymon/server/etc/bb-hosts xxx.xxx.xx.x6 APT-NCC-NSW-rhoSpluto
And on your server you have the name APT-NCC-NSW-rhoSpluto? Can you check the hobbitd icon for your XYmon server at the webpage. Maybe it is saying there something of Ghosts. Alternatively you can go to the bin directory of your XYmon server and issue the command ./bb 127.0.0.1 "ghostlist" and if pluto is there then it is a naming issue between the client and the server. Maybe then, if you don't want to change the name in bb-hosts you can add CLIENT:pluto to the line like this: xxx.xxx.xx.x6 APT-NCC-NSW-rhoSpluto # CLIENT:pluto And then the server accepts messages sent from pluto for APT-NCC-NSW-rhoSpluto.

So clearly the Xymon client program is not executing because it cannot find the libpcre.so.0 file. If you built the software yourself then you need to rebuild it but this time use archive libraries rather than shared ones, or use the -R flag and include the directory where your libpcre file is located. -R is the list of directories to search for shared library files. If you installed Xymon as a package then you need to find another package that include the PCRE libraries and install that.
