CPU/Disks/memory for xymon clients
list Devvkanth Krishnamurthy
Hi, I would like to know the solution for the below issues 1. I am actually having trouble loading CPU ,Memory and Disk in Xymon clients , but in the Xymon server it is working fine. Can you please explain how the data is populated for clients in these columns. 2. The uptime status is listed as a separate column after modifying the tasks.cfg file and modified the protocols.cfg file for uptime as "options banner" and I m not getting the correct output. May I know what needs to be done here. 3. I would like to know if there is any way that I can remove existing parameters ,I can do the removal for additional parameters by removing in the hosts.cfg file but it does not get removed , so I had to use "drop hostname parameter" . But for the existing ones I am not able to remove it even using that. [cid:image001.png at 01D4A9E1.049E0E70] Thanks and Regards, Devvkanth K Unix SME

You're actually not supplying enough info in your question. What OS are the clients? Did you install and configure the Xymon client software on each client and point it at your server? Does your server have port 1984 open in it's firewall to accept input? Do you have other firewalls blocking incoming data? What are the hostnames you have configured for each client. Hostnames much match in the xymon server's hosts.cfg file or incoming client data doesn't show up on the server webpage. Kris Springer

Hi, It appears that you need to do some more reading on Xymon, how it works, and its requirements. 1. I'm guessing that you haven't loaded the clients on the other servers, which is why you don't have client data. The xymon server includes the client, which is why you're getting it for the server. 2. As you haven't shared what exactly you changed and haven't told us what the output you're getting is, I can't tell you what's wrong here. 3. There are two steps for removing hosts. first, remove them from the hosts.cfg or hosts.d file that you put them in, then tell xymon (by way of the drop hostname) command that you're removing them. You can also use that command with an additional parameter to remove a single test without dropping the entire host. The test will disappear permanently unless xymon is still receiving data for it, in which case it will reappear after a short time.

Hello Kris, Apologies as I cannot give the name of the clients . What OS are the clients? - Redhat Linux 7.4 (RHEL 7.4) Did you install and configure the Xymon client software on each client and point it at your server? I have installed Xymon clients on all 5 servers , xymonclient.cfg file points to the server. Does your server have port 1984 open in it's firewall to accept input? Yes 1984 port is listening in the Xymon server [cid:image002.png at 01D4A9EA.B5D0ABE0] Do you have other firewalls blocking incoming data? 1984 is open in Xymon seerver , I mean do we need both clients and server have 1984 port open. What are the hostnames you have configured for each client. Hostnames much match in the xymon server's hosts.cfg file or incoming client data doesn't show up on the server webpage.- Xymon clients are correctly configured . there are no issues with the clients, the fqdn is also the same

Is the hostname you have defined in the server's hosts.cfg file the exact same as what you get when you run 'hostname' on the client? Also, the /etc/default/xymonclient file on the client shows you what hostname the client is sending the server. Kris Springer

Hello Kris, Earlier the hosts.cfg hostnames were pointing to DNS which includes FQDN , so now I have modified it to exactly match the hostname but still I don't see it. [cid:image003.png at 01D4A9FB.9EDFA790] In the clients side ,I am not able to see a file called Xymonclient under /etc/default.. If you need anything else , please let me know.
