Hello

I have defined 4 clients inside "hosts.cfg" but only one of them shows up
in xymon. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Many thanks

Share your hosts.cfg so we can see what it looks like?

Are these hosts not even getting a conn test?

Check the "Ghost Clients" list that can be found somewhere in the upper
toolbar. Likely your clients are reporting with the wrong name. This has
come up on the mailing list before and the solution provided if you
search the archives.

Hi Ryan

When I click on ghostlist I get the following error: "Failed to retrieve 
ghostlist from server".

Any suggestions please?

Thanks a lot

Here it is:

193.63.56.174   paris.bbk.ac.uk      # bbd http://paris.bbk.ac.uk/

193.63.56.118   bs313.bbk.ac.uk   # bbd

193.63.56.169   thor.bbk.ac.uk       # bbd

193.63.56.116   bs243.bbk.ac.uk   # bbd

paris is the xymon server
bs313 and bs243 are windows XP clients and thor is a fedora box.

paris comes up since it was setup automatically during the installation
bs243 also comes up but I don't get any tests. This is most likely 
because of my configuration which I am still learning about.

The rest of them they don't even come up on the xymon page and I just 
don't see why.

Thanks a lot

Hi David

I removed all bbd tags but they still don't come up. :(

I think ssh is "draining" the input stream, which in this case means the
pipeline coming into the while loop.? Try redirecting the ssh input stream
from /dev/null:

????? /usr/bin/ssh bwadmin@${MACHINE} "hostname"<  /dev/null

I tested that with this command line:

???? ls | while read a; do ssh 192.168.1.4 hostname<  /dev/null ; done

and got back the remote host name once for each file in the local directory.
Yes - that fixed everything.  Thank you so much for the replying.
