Good day,
Is there a way to change the ip address of the xymon server? I changed the ip address and now xymon server is not working any more. Any ideas anyone? Thank you in advance.

Hello Leon,
Do you mean changing the IP the xymon daemon is listening on ? Or changing the IP on the OS the xymon daemon is running on ? Or changing the destination IP your xymon client are sending reports to ?
HI,
Thank you for the quick response.
- I have changed the ip of the os to a new ip address.
- I was wandering if I need to change the ip somewhere in xymon.
- I need to change the ip address of the client machine to point to the new serve rip.
Thank You, Leon

Leon:
1 & 2 I guess a simple xymon daemon restart should be enough to have the daemon listening on the new IP address (depends if it is listening on 0.0.0.0:1984 or specific IP address. You can check this by using netstat (or "ss" if netstat is not available anymore)
3 On your clients, you have to set the new IP address indeed. The place to perform the change depends on your OS. On Debian/Ubuntu, if you use the official package, you may check /etc/default/xymon-client file. For other OS or installation mode, I don't know. Anyway, you can look for this variable : XYMONSERVERS
if this is pointing to your old IP address, change it to the new one ;)
HI,
I did a restart but it is still referencing the old ip. See the netstat below.

This line shows that something is listening on all interfaces. I think the server part is probably OK.
tcp 0 1 10.120.1.21:48182 10.121.0.134:1984 SYN_SENT
This line is an attempted connection from this machine to 10.121.0.134. The TCP connection is stuck at the first phase (SYN_SENT), probably because that address doesn't actually exist anywhere.
Something on the xymon server system (most likely the xymon client) is still configured to talk to the old IP address.
On my xymon server running on Ubuntu 18, version 4.3.28-3build1, the first uncommented line in /etc/default/xymon-client is this:
XYMONSERVERS="127.0.0.1"
The only other uncommented line is the setting for CLIENTHOSTNAME.

On my system (Red Hat based), /var/run/xymonclient-runtime.cfg is set by the init script /etc/init.d/xymon-client using the contents of /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client. Assuming yours is similar, you would first need to edit /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client (or equivalent on Ubuntu, perhaps /etc/default/xymon-client), and then stop/start Xymon using the init script, such as: /etc/init.d/xymon-client stop && /etc/init.d/xymon-client start.

Leon,
i did this in the past and from my experience I can say it is not enough to simply restart the xymon services.
In my case, I had to reflect these additional steps:
a) Make your basic server config work correctly - reflect your changes to /etc/hosts and whatever files are needed for your linux distro to have the server get the right IP address after a reboot.
b) I had to change the settings in "xymonserver.cfg". In my installation, there was an entry "XYMONSERVERIP" that did not point to 127.0.0.1 - so I had to change this.
c) I needed to recompile xymon on the server. Probably this was because I was coming from an elder version of xymon. So I went into my directory from where I installed xymon. There I changed the file "Makefile". In this "Makefile" there is an entry "XYMONHOSTIP" that also did not point to 127.0.0.1 - so I had to change this. Afterwards, I did a "make" and "make install". After that xymon did start.
d) As soon as you configured your xymon clients to report to an IP-address instead to a xymon-server-name: you need to change all of your xymon clients as well in the file xymonclient.cfg. There is an entry XYMSRV. After doing that restart the xymon services on your clients. If you have Windows clients you need to change the settings either in bbwin or psclient - whatever you are using.
This was what was necessary for MY installation - I cannot say if this will do the trick for YOUR installation.
Hope this works for you!
Regards Christian

I followed the steps and it is still not working. Somewhere its referencing the old ip. Even a reinstall did not work. I could not change the makefile though as I am on Ubuntu and am using apt-get.
