I do not see any RRD files for postfix.
OK, this rules out a number of areas where it might fail.
I have added postfix to these lines in xymonserver.cfg:
<snip>
That looks correct.
I also added this as the last line in xymonserver.cfg:
SPLITNCV_postfix="*:GAUGE"
yep
Perhaps you need to restart xymond_rrd? I think xymond_rrd reads the SPLITNCV_* and TEST2RRD parameters only when it starts, and so needs to be restarted. Actually, you only need to kill the two xymond_rrd processes, and Xymon will restart them automatically. So something like: "sudo pkill xymond_rrd".
Adding the xymon user to the postfix group won't work, because the postfix queue directories have permission 700. That was the first idea that occurred to me, and it wouldn't work.
Sorry, I should have said "and setting the dir permission to 750".
I found another permissions solution that I like better. I added "BBTMP=/tmp" to the beginning of the CMD line in the clientlaunch
Yup, that works.
