Sorry for this entry being so long. I am trying to include as much info as possible.

Running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.3.

I am trying to send to 2 xymon servers (Primary - monitor1, Secondary - monitor2) from multiple clients.

            CLIENTS BEING TESTED:

o Linux (tomvip)

o BBWin (sltst03)

o Current BB clients that are in service (slcts00)

            It worked after we set the 1984 TCP port in the firewall

for a short time and then quit.

I am also having the same problem when setting the BBWin to point to both server (it works and then it stops to one of them).

If I add both addresses to the actual BB windows client, they both report the exact same icons to both servers and the BB server.

I was able to get both the BB and the BBWin clients to run on the same Windows server.

We setup a different registry name for the BBWin client (e.g. slcts00 vs. slcts00.csw.L-3com.com for BB).

I have the iptables firewalls on both monitor1 and monitor2 OFF.

            cd /etc/init.d

            ./iptables stop

I get PURPLE icons on monitor1 and OK icons on monitor2: (for Linux, but just dashed for BBWin).

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------

TO REPORT TO MORE THAN ONE XYMON SERVER JUST ADD MORE THAN ONE BBDISP=

LINE

You can use either the IP Addresses or the URLs.

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------

BBDISP="monitor1.csw.l-3com.com" # IP address of the 1st Hobbit server

BBDISP="monitor2.csw.l-3com.com" # IP address of the 2nd Hobbit server-if setup

BBDISPLAYS="0.0.0.0" # IP of multiple Hobbit servers.

BBDISP must be "0.0.0.0".

CONFIGCLASS="$BBOSTYPE" # Default configuration class for logfiles

PATH setting for the client scripts

PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/etc"

I have tried it without the BBDISPLAYS="" set - still the same output.

I can ping the monitor1 server with no problems.

I am getting more confused as I go along, something works and then it stops working and I am not sure what I did to change the results?
