Recently, I tried doing #5 *before* doing 2, 3, and 4. Awhile after doing #5 (but before #2), the main page would update on the server with the new client, but only the 'conn', 'files', 'info', 'ssh', and 'trends' columns were filled in. After doing 2, 3, and 4 on the client, I again restarted Xymon, but the other columns (cpu, disk, memory, msgs, procs, ports) refused to be filled in. Digging into this, I can't find anything in any of the logs of all my systems (working or not) to give me a clue on how these tests run and why they are not running on some systems.
These tests are not listed as tests that you enter in bb-hosts, so can anyone explain how to get these other tests running against the clients?
Check your Reports -> Ghost, if you see your clients listed there, then they are reporting with a different name to what you entered into the bb-hosts. Either change the client config, or add a CLIENT tag to the bb-hosts for the problem hosts.
Hope that helps
That helped a lot, thanks. There is still one system that is not behaving, but it's not on the ghost report. Is there any tricks I can use to debug the issue -- for instance, 'bb' commands to test the system with?
