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?

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.

 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.
