Michael, have you checked your ghost report? Perhaps the hostnames in hosts.cfg don't match what the clients know themselves as.

Thanks. I have done more investigating. in the hostdata folder on the xymon server shows up, all the servers show "No such host" in the Info column, so it look like the hosts are not being created in hostdata. What is the trigger that creates the data ? Weird problem. I have been using xymon for years and have never seen this, but usually I build from the tar. Thanks for any help.

xymon server itself is fine. All the other servers are tests with conn only, with just 2 havingxymon client and 6 running rclient. none of the servers have a full set of columns except the xymon server.rclient log shows successfully completed 6 servers and the clientlog looks good. I may try rolling back to 4.3.21 or earlier. The last I used at my previous job was 4.3.11 It is a pain to install , since I have no Internet access in this environment.
Can you edit tasks.cfg to run "xymond_client" (in the [clientdata] section) in --debug mode and see if you see data for these clients?
Also, can you confirm that the non-xymonserver client (the "non-rclient" one) is working OK and you're getting status messages for?
It seems like either a well-formed client message isn't making its way in in the first place, or xymond_client isn't properly processing it back into xymond. Either way, we should be able to see some evidence (or not) in the xymond_client logs as the clientlog injections occur.
HTH,
