What are you trying to monitor? Check here http://www.xymonton.org/monitors There is a diskstat.ksh which will graph disk IO on Solaris, and diskstat.pl was created to do the same thing for Linux. I am sure you could adapt either of those to monitor any output from the iostat command.

The iostat code in Xymon hasn't really been working well. The format of the data coming in from the various iostat-implementations in the operating systems have changed over time, and Xymon just hasn't kept up with those changes.
It is something that needs to be looked at sometime ... for now, don't assume that it is working.
Sorry :-(
No problem, and thanks for the very quick reply! :-)
I'll see about setting up an external script for the clients.
