I have this working for all my EC2 servers (same issue with security and opening firewall ports back inside). Do you have port open and verified the msgcache service is running on the clients? Also, check the xymon server logs...that's where I found the most helpful info.

After getting the "piss off" response from security in regards to monitoring systems in the DMZ I need to configure about two dozen systems for pull vs the standard push.

While I have gone through the documentation I am still having a few issues and needed some help.

*Server Changes =>updated server/etc/tasks.cfg

[xymonfetch] ENABLED ENVFILE /app/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg CMD $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonfetch --server=10.1.1.73 --no-daemon --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonfetch.pid --interval=60 --log-interval=600 --debug LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonfetch.log

*Client Changes =>updated server/etc/clientlaunch.cfg

[msgcache] ENABLED ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/bin/msgcache --no-daemon --pidfile=$XYMONCLIENTLOGS/msgcache.pid --debug --logfile=$XYMONCLIENTLOGS/msgcachedaemon.log --max-age=1200 LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTLOGS/msgcache.log

The main client task

[client] ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/bin/xymonclient.sh LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTLOGS/xymonclient.log INTERVAL 5m

=>updated server/etc/xymonclient.cfg XYMSRV="127.0.0.1"

Any help to get this working is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Blake
