The xymon client will use whatever it finds in the output of "uname -n". You can solve this in several ways:
- Change the hostname in the hosts.cfg file to use the short name,
- Add "CLIENT:shortname" to the hosts.cfg entry,
- Adjust the configuration on the client (eg xymonclient.cfg) to specify the FQDN in MACHINEDOTS

Hi Chris
Hmm ... On your suggestion I went to "Reports" > " Ghost Clients " and indeed I have that host listed there. Apparently xymon reads the "short" host name, without domain name (fqdn).
Thank you.

Is the xymond status displaying any "ghost" reports? This would indicate that the client hostname does not match the one defined in the hosts.cfg file on the xymon server!

Hi J
I do have the IP of the Xymon server in xymonclient.cfg on the hosts which has the client installed. I have checked from the client if the port, 1984 is open and it is.
zeratul etc # telnet 89.22.97.130 1984 Trying 89.22.97.130... Connected to 89.22.97.130. Escape character is '^]'. quit
Unfortunatelly there isn't anything more the the "conn" "info" and "trends" on Xymon server display.
I can't see anything relevant in the xymond logs.
On the hosts which I have the client installed I have this:
zeratul client # ps aufx |grep xymon root 10279 0.0 0.0 4452 756 pts/1 S+ 12:32 0:00 | | | \_ grep --colour=auto xymon root 10115 0.0 0.0 2048 512 ?

The only configuration required on the Xymon client is the IP address of the Xymon server. Typically, this is configured in the file xymonclient.cfg, where you can set XYMSRV to the correct IP address.
Then you start the client running, perhaps by an init script. The master Xymon client process is xymonlaunch. If this isn't running, then you won't get any local details (cpu, memory, etc).
There are logfiles (on my system, in /var/log/xymon/) that might help identify any problems.

Hello
I have just installed a fresh xymon server with the latest xymon version. I have also managed to install the client on some external host. Both are running fine and the monitoring page is showing correctly. However I haven't managed to find how can I configure multiple checks on the client side, as for the single host I have added all I have is "conn", "info" and "trends" columns. On the host which is running the xymon client I have the following files which you can see below:
zeratul etc # pwd /home/xymon/client/etc zeratul etc # ls -la total 40 drwxr-xr-x 2 xymon root 4096 2013-01-06 19:31 . drwxr-xr-x 8 xymon root 4096 2013-01-06 16:58 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 975 2013-01-06 16:58 clientlaunch.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 20959 2013-01-06 16:58 localclient.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 1850 2013-01-06 16:58 xymonclient.cfg
I would like to enable at least cpu, load, memory, disk etc ...
Where can I make this available?
