Hey, Tim...
Thx for responding!
Re: "... the field in the mem|memory...": sorry -- not quite sure what you mean... If you're referring to the "memUse" test, that's a customized "ext" program I wrote, independent of the standard "memory"
Re: the MEM* limits: In analysis.cfg we do have those set for some hosts, but not for this one in particular. The class=... does have default values though.
Re: zones: this host only has the global zone...
;-)

However, the "memory" test status is simply missing! For example, on the server: ... status hostname.memUse GREEN ...
It does not look to be missing it looks to be misconfigured/munged somewhere. Is the field in the mem|memory display green with that single '-' ?
Do you have in the equiv of clients.cfg : MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 87 90 MEMACT 90 97 values may not match, but do you have these set anywhere in your server config?
Just curious, this may not be relevant but is the client running on the Global Zone, or on a Child Zone?
Unrelated, but if it ever hits you there is likely somthing on the board you can search for:

Hey, all...
Have a puzzle to solve: we have a host (Solaris 10) running our tried-and-true version of Xymon (4.3.2) which is functioning just fine except for one test: the standard "memory" test.
It has worked fine in the past (I'm pretty sure!) but at some point we noticed Xymon isn't posting the "status" results for this test on the web page (it's a '-').
Debugging I've done so far:
On the client side, found the output file corresponding to "$MSGTMPFILE" / "$MSGFILE" used in the "xymonclient.sh" script. It _does_ contain valid data for the "[memory]" stanza:
[memory]
0 8 0 39549560 48447184 1039 3853 3934 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 20276 71323 29065 57 16 28
From this client, manually ran the command to post the data to the server:
$ ~xymon/client/bin/xymon <server IP> "@" < msg.hostname.txt log:/var/adm/messages:10240
ignore %nxge0|nxge1|nxge4|nxge5|nxge0|107833
On the server, ran:
$ ~xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondboard host=hostname " hostname|trends|green||0|0|0|0|0||0| hostname|info|green||0|0|0|0|0||0| hostname|files|clear||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|10.235.130.17 hostname|files|clear||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0||-1|clear hostname|files|clear||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|Files status hostname|files|clear||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|at Fri Nov 6 hostname|files|clear||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|14:20:43 CST hostname|files|clear||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|2015 hostname|msgs|green||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|10.235.130.17| hostname|msgs|green||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|-1|green hostname|msgs|green||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|System logs at hostname|msgs|green||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|Fri Nov 6 hostname|msgs|green||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|14:20:43 CST hostname|msgs|green||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|2015 hostname|ports|red||1446840042|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|10.235.130.17|2 hostname|ports|red||1446840042|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|7225|red Fri hostname|ports|red||1446840042|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|Nov 6 14:20:43 hostname|ports|red||1446840042|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|CST 2015 - hostname|ports|red||1446840042|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|Ports NOT ok ...
(The timestamps are current, matching the most recent version of the client file sent)
However, the "memory" test status is simply missing! For example, on the server:

Help?
