The web server log may have some useful information too.

Hi Ken

To be honest, I generally modify my critical.cfg file directly (using vi) rather than through the web interface.

A few things you could check:

- confirm that it's writable by the user that runs your web server (eg "sudo -u apache touch critical.cfg")

- check your webserver logs for errors

- run the CGI from the command line to simulate a browser, and see if there are any errors; something like:

  SCRIPT_NAME=. REQUEST_METHOD=GET QUERY_STRING='HOSTNAME=localhost&SERVICE=conn' /usr/share/xymon/cgi-bin/criticalview.sh --env=/usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg --debug >/dev/null

  (Copy the QUERY_STRING from your browser's location bar, after attempting an update)

Cheers

Xymon ver 4.3.28

No matter what I try to add hosts to the Critical hosts page, nothing ever shows up.

critical.cfg always remains 0 bytes (has the same rights as other config files in the same dir).

How do I troubleshoot this ?
