It is the xymond_client module that generates the inode status, not xymond_rrd or showgraph.cgi. So if that binary is unchanged, then I don't really understand why it would stop generating an inode status.
Are there any notices in xymond.log (or the xymond status page) of status messages being dropped, e.g. from ghost clients? No, there are no messages about dropped status messages in xymond.log. The history of xymond status contains only messages about unrelated problems.
I suppose the other status messages (cpu, disk, memory etc) are still working fine?
Yes, those tests are working fine.
I wonder if inode checks has somehow been disabled. If you go to where you compiled Xymon, then in the xymon-4.3.X/lib directory there is a "loadhosts" binary. This is a debug module. Could you try running
cd xymon-4.3.12/lib
./loadhosts @ <hostname>
Pick item: XMH_HOSTNAME
... should show the hostname ...
Pick item: XMH_NOCOLUMNS
... should say 'XMH_NOCOLUMNS not found' ...If it lists "inode" in XMH_NOCOLUMNS, then that is the problem.
If not, then try doing "kill -USR2 <pid of xymond_client>" - this toggles the debugging flag in xymond_client. It will start logging a lot of output to clientdata.log - does it show any messages with "Inode check" ?
You can turn off the debugging with the same kill-command.
