Hi all,

I'm using Xymon 4.2.2 on both clients and server side.
All my OS are linux (almost all are kernel 2.6)

My case :
One of my client does not send [vmstat] section to the server. After
researching a lot, i found that executing manually hobbitclient-linux.sh is
working great. I've the hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME.$$ file created, but it's
not moved to hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME. So I modified hobbitclient-linux.sh in
order to get directly the hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME file, and it works when i
start hobbitclient-linux.sh manually. But when i start xymon client, the
hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME is not generated, and the message sent to my server
still doesn't include [vmstat] section

I'm sorry if my explanations/vocabulary sucks.

Any help would be very appreciated

Regards,
Damien

You should check what OS xymon thinks you are running on the host where
it works and one where it doesn't... You can override the OS in the
config files if needed. On debian that is in /etc/default/hobbit but
check the man pages for the details for other OS's.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Adam

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. In order to check what OS is detected by xymon, I looked where the variable BBOSSCRIPT is defined, I found this in hobbitclient.sh :
if test "$BBOSSCRIPT" = ""; then
BBOSSCRIPT="hobbitclient-`uname -s | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`.sh"
fi

I do manually : echo "hobbitclient-`uname -s | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`.sh"
The output is : hobbitclient-linux.sh (that is the right file)
The column "info"confirms that the OS is well detected as Linux.

Regards,
Damien

I've got a second issue with vmstat. On my others clients, I get many
(about 10) hobbit_vmstat.$MACHINE.$$ files in $BBTMP dir. Is it a normal
behaviour ?
