It looks like the green tests are all standard Xymon tests and the purple ones might be external scripts in client/ext/ in the Xymon (or Hobbit) home directory. Check the client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg on any of the purple-plagued clients and see if any of the purple tests are mentioned.

Either the server isn't gathering it or the clients aren't sending the data.
The raid script that I have is sent by the client.
Thanks, Josh, but can you point out where I can check to see which of those options is my likely culprit?
Also, don’t quite follow your comment about your “raid script”. What raid script?
Sorry!

Am fairly new to Xymon and apologize if this is documented somewhere and I missed it.
I have inherited a Xymon server (4.3.3 on Solaris 10) which shows itself as having about half its tests as .purple., the other half as green. As far as I can tell, everything.s running just fine. It seems to be a simple data refresh problem of some sort, but haven.t been able prove my hunch.
The problem started after a reboot of the server. Everything came up OK, except for the following list of .missing. tests:
Purple Tests: iostat iostat2 mem2 meta nfs prtdiag raid sar tm zones
Green Tests: bbd conn cpu disk http info memory msgs ntp ports procs ssh trends
I.ve restarted the server: (.$xymon_home/xymon.sh restart.) and tried to find something in the logs, but am not making ground on this fast enough.
Help?
Thanks!
