It's about tests that were there before and now they are no longer there, so they are purple on the display page. The older server was reporting 2 tests that I presumed came from the xymon client "apt" and "libs". Those tests are no longer reporting, Where did they come from? And can I resume them on the new server?
On a regular ubuntu/debian install, they'd be provided by the hobbit-plugins deb package (i.e. "apt-get install hobbit-plugins"). That package provides a number of client scripts that you'll find at e.g.
/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/apt /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/libs
I'd start by just running those scripts manually to see if they work as expected or not.
The tests will then be configured to run periodically under xymon-client in the config files:
/etc/xymon/clientlaunch.d/apt.cfg /etc/xymon/clientlaunch.d/libs.cfg
The default config shipped with the hobbit-plugins deb package is (I think) to enable those tests: check they're not "DISABLED", and look in the "LOGFILE" files referred to in those cfg files to see if there's anything useful.
