local mode client 🔗 link

One of my co-workers has installed xymon 4.3.7, and wants to use local
mode for configuration. The display server is not receiving anything
from his machine if things run normally, but when run by hand, xymon
can send data from his server (Solaris) to the display server. I
enabled xymond_client --debug in xymonclient.sh:

if test "$LOCALMODE" = "yes"; then
        echo "@@" >> $MSGTMPFILE
        $XYMONHOME/bin/xymond_client --debug --local
--config=$XYMONHOME/etc/localclient
.cfg <$MSGTMPFILE

And now I'm getting this:

+ ../bin/xymond_client --debug --local --config=../etc/localclient.cfg

I'm not sure where to go from here. Does local mode still work for most people?

Is a xymon client in local mode expected to work?

Hello,

I might have found a solution to this old report. Actually the solution 
was given by the person hosting:
http://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/

So it consisted in changing the line in xymonclient.sh
echo "@@client#1|0|127.0.0.1|$MACHINEDOTS|$SERVEROSTYPE" >> $MSGTMPFILE
to
echo "@@client#1|1|127.0.0.1|$MACHINEDOTS|$SERVEROSTYPE" >> $MSGTMPFILE

And then data was sent to the server. Not sure what is going on here but 
that could help.
