Hi to the list,
working with xymon since 2008, still using it.
Now I was in the situation to include a LinuxMint machine (with desktop environment), using Jeremy's xymon-rclient.sh 0.6.1 to monitor this thing. After setting up the ssh-based authentication and waiting a couple of minutes, the data of this LinuxMint machine came up and appeared in Xymon.
Other than other machines i'm pulling with xymon-rclient.sh, the CPU state of this machine became red immediately. It seems to me that the Load Average of the LinuxMint machine is interpreted wrong: when looking in Xymon, it tells me a Load Average of 60.00, while looking to the LinuxMint machine, seeing it's Load Average at 0.6.
What could be wrong? The LinuxMint machine is running LinuxMint 22.1 with it's lates updates. These are the locales used by the LinuxMint machine:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ALL=
Yes, they are mixed....
We've a few other linux client machines running "non-server-linuxes" (i.e. RaspberryPi running Raspberry PI OS) which are reporting fine using xymon-rclient.sh.
Regards Christian
