"xymond" column is blank/dash 🔗 link

Hi

I can't work this out.  I have two practically identical Xymon (4.3.0)
servers successfully monitoring a few other servers.  Both have identical
hosts.cfg files and present identical results for all monitored hosts, as
well as themselves.

The strange thing is that the "xymond" column for the first server is green
but is a dash "-" for the second server.  It looks the same on both servers.
 I can't see anything in the logs to indicate a problem.  The only
configuration difference between the two servers is the setting of
XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME and XYMONSERVERIP in xymonserver.cfg.  Can anyone
suggest why the difference, or where to look for problems?

Cheers
Jeremy

Now I'm even more confused about this.  For a short time, the server
without any xymond data started getting something, but I'm guessing it
stopped and later turned purple.  I've tried clearing the test but it
remains purple.  At one stage my "all non-green" page showed the
purple, and then showed a transition from yellow to green as the most
recent in the list of events in the last 240 minutes.

Perhaps I should clear out all history and all status values and
checkpoints, and start all over again.  I'm guessing I can do this by
stopping, deleting everything in $XYMONTMP, and starting again.  I'd
prefer not to, but could this be my only option?

I'm still unable to solve this problem.  My Xymon display is now
always purple, and I can't fix it.  I've tried clearing out $XYMONTMP
with xymon stopped, then restarting, but it's still showing purple on
the xymond dot.  Any ideas?

I may have narrowed this problem down a bit.  The XYMSERVERS setting
had IP address for server1 and then server2.  If I take out server1's
IP address on server2, I start getting xymond status updates and it
goes green.  I'll play a bit more to see if changing the order
(keeping both addresses) will also work OK.

It's as if the xymond status is only using the first of these
addresses and not notifying both servers.  This seems like a bug to
me.  I was hoping to be able to keep the xymonserver.cfg file
identical between the two servers.

OMG I think that's it.  This problem also prevented Devmon from
working.  Devmon found all sorts of interesting things but the dots
would never show.

Perhaps the installation doco could point this out?
