I'm having issues with xymonfetch.
I have 2 xymon proxies, that also have the xymon server running as a backup to the main server on port 1985. The proxy sends to the main server on port 1984 and to itself on port 1985.
I'm trying to add 2 new machines as clients of these proxy servers. They are outside a firewall that I don't want to open, so I'm doing a fetch. Xymon-client is running on 1984, and msgcache is running.

I have a third xymon server, the development server, which is not a proxy, and the server runs on 1984. This pulls the data just fine from the remoteclients.

The proxy servers are 4.3.10. The development server is 4.3.21. The main server is also 4.3.10, and it runs a fetch without issue, to other clients.
The clients are 4.3.10 (CentOS 5) and 4.3.21 (CentOS 6).
I am working on upgrading the proxy servers in OS (CentOS 5 -> 6) and Xymon (to 4.3.21). But not quite there yet. Another subject, but sending data from a proxy to another proxy does not work. So, when I have everything else, I may end up putting it in place, and hoping the proxy works....
Any ideas here? It seems like such a simple thing.

Does seem a bit odd. Either xymonfetch is not paying attention to pulldata, or it seems to want to reconnect back to the original host incorrectly for the client (config) reply. Can you try --debug on the xymonfetch process, or alternatively strace it, so we can see at which phase of the transaction that write is failing at?
On the second issue, I know xymonproxy is capable of doing proxy-proxy submission, as we used it pretty heavily for that (albeit with caveats at scale when dealing with TCP packet loss), does a 'ping' make it through at all when going on that path?

It gets even weirder. If I run it without xymoncmd, then it uses port 1984 (the xymonproxy) but then is trying to pull data from the machine the main server pulls from, and doesn’t even exist in the proxy’s hosts.cfg.
But when I run with xymoncmd, I get this. To me, it appears to be completely ignoring the command line: $ xymonfetch --server=:1984 --log-interval=60 --id=1 --debug 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Transport setup is: 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 xymondportnumber = 1985 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 xymonproxyhost = NONE 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 xymonproxyport = 0 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Recipient listed as '204.155.140.159' 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Standard protocol on port 1985 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Will connect to address 204.155.140.159 port 1985 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Connect status is 0 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Sent 16 bytes 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Read 14206 bytes 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Closing connection 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Queuing request 1 to 10.6.0.15:1985 for remoteclient2: 'pullclient 1

The saga continues.
I got my network people to open up 1985 through the firewall to my machines, and then restarted xymon-client on those machines to use 1985 with msgcache. So while that is wrong, at least I have a work around. Also, the fetch=ip:1984 was ignored, it only would talk on port 1985.
Then the xymonfetch on the proxy servers would connect and get data from them.
HOWEVER, the proxy servers will not send the data to the proxy port (1984), only the server port (1985). Which doesn’t get me data to my primary server.
Is it possible to run xymonfetch from a client machine? That client would send to the xymon proxy server.
If I get time today (or maybe over the weekend), I’m going to try to put my new xymon proxy server in place (CentOS6 with 4.3.21). Again the current servers are CentOS 5 with 4.3.10.

Hmm. It's looking like we have a fair amount of crufty code in xymonfetch that might need to be brought up to spec, that might be causing some of the confusion.

Then the xymonfetch on the proxy servers would connect and get data from them.
HOWEVER, the proxy servers will not send the data to the proxy port (1984), only the server port (1985). Which doesnât get me data to my primary server.
Is it possible to run xymonfetch from a client machine? That client would send to the xymon proxy server.
If I get time today (or maybe over the weekend), Iâm going to try to put my new xymon proxy server in place (CentOS6 with 4.3.21). Again the current servers are CentOS 5 with 4.3.10.

I am working on upgrading the proxy servers in OS (CentOS 5 -> 6) and Xymon (to 4.3.21). But not quite there yet. Another subject, but sending data from a proxy to another proxy does not work. So, when I have everything else, I may end up putting it in place, and hoping the proxy worksâ¦.
Any ideas here? It seems like such a simple thing.
Does seem a bit odd. Either xymonfetch is not paying attention to pulldata, or it seems to want to reconnect back to the original host incorrectly for the client (config) reply. Can you try --debug on the xymonfetch process, or alternatively strace it, so we can see at which phase of the transaction that write is failing at?
On the second issue, I know xymonproxy is capable of doing proxy-proxy submission, as we used it pretty heavily for that (albeit with caveats at scale when dealing with TCP packet loss), does a 'ping' make it through at all when going on that path?

So a new hiccup. Putting in the XYMONDPORT=1984, the process pulls the "pulldata" commands out of the hosts.cfg of the main server, not the local proxy. That's a bit crazy. The hosts.cfg file are drastically different between the main server, and the proxies.
The proxy is set to send locally first, then to the primary:
CMD $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonproxy --server=127.0.0.1:1985,10.0.0.10 --listen=0.0.0.0:1984 --report=$MACHINE.xymonproxy --no-daemon --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.pid
I'm going to try to put the pulldata for the two servers I want the proxies to pull, but can't do that right now. More tomorrow. Still haven't had time to put the new proxy in place, also.

Can re-run with just the bare IP? I suspect it wasn't trying to connect with what it looked like it was trying to.

The saga continues.
I got my network people to open up 1985 through the firewall to my machines, and then restarted xymon-client on those machines to use 1985 with msgcache. So while that is wrong, at least I have a work around. Also, the fetch=ip:1984 was ignored, it only would talk on port 1985.
Then the xymonfetch on the proxy servers would connect and get data from them.
HOWEVER, the proxy servers will not send the data to the proxy port (1984), only the server port (1985). Which doesn’t get me data to my primary server.
Is it possible to run xymonfetch from a client machine? That client would send to the xymon proxy server.
If I get time today (or maybe over the weekend), I’m going to try to put my new xymon proxy server in place (CentOS6 with 4.3.21). Again the current servers are CentOS 5 with 4.3.10.

It gets even weirder. If I run it without xymoncmd, then it uses port 1984 (the xymonproxy) but then is trying to pull data from the machine the main server pulls from, and doesn’t even exist in the proxy’s hosts.cfg.
But when I run with xymoncmd, I get this. To me, it appears to be completely ignoring the command line: $ xymonfetch --server=:1984 --log-interval=60 --id=1 --debug 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Transport setup is: 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 xymondportnumber = 1985 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 xymonproxyhost = NONE 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 xymonproxyport = 0 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Recipient listed as '204.155.140.159' 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Standard protocol on port 1985 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Will connect to address 204.155.140.159 port 1985 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Connect status is 0 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Sent 16 bytes 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Read 14206 bytes 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Closing connection 28843 2015-11-12 08:56:09 Queuing request 1 to 10.6.0.15:1985 for remoteclient2: 'pullclient 1

It makes no difference if I put in –server=127.0.0.1:1984 or –server=204.155.140.159:1984.

I have 2 xymon proxies, that also have the xymon server running as a backup to the main server on port 1985. The proxy sends to the main server on port 1984 and to itself on port 1985.
I’m trying to add 2 new machines as clients of these proxy servers. They are outside a firewall that I don’t want to open, so I’m doing a fetch. Xymon-client is running on 1984, and msgcache is running.

I have a third xymon server, the development server, which is not a proxy, and the server runs on 1984. This pulls the data just fine from the remoteclients.
The xymonfetch.log file gets these errors: 2015-11-11 15:56:24 Connection lost during connect/write to 10.6.0.14:1985 (req 27): Connection refused 2015-11-11 15:56:41 Connection lost during connect/write to 10.6.0.15:1985 (req 28): Connection refused 2015-11-11 15:57:27 Connection lost during connect/write to 10.6.0.14:1985 (req 29): Connection refused 2015-11-11 15:57:44 Connection lost during connect/write to 10.6.0.15:1985 (req 30): Connection refused
The proxy servers are 4.3.10. The development server is 4.3.21. The main server is also 4.3.10, and it runs a fetch without issue, to other clients.
The clients are 4.3.10 (CentOS 5) and 4.3.21 (CentOS 6).
I am working on upgrading the proxy servers in OS (CentOS 5 -> 6) and Xymon (to 4.3.21). But not quite there yet. Another subject, but sending data from a proxy to another proxy does not work. So, when I have everything else, I may end up putting it in place, and hoping the proxy works….
Any ideas here? It seems like such a simple thing.
Does seem a bit odd. Either xymonfetch is not paying attention to pulldata, or it seems to want to reconnect back to the original host incorrectly for the client (config) reply. Can you try --debug on the xymonfetch process, or alternatively strace it, so we can see at which phase of the transaction that write is failing at?
On the second issue, I know xymonproxy is capable of doing proxy-proxy submission, as we used it pretty heavily for that (albeit with caveats at scale when dealing with TCP packet loss), does a 'ping' make it through at all when going on that path?

The proxy is set to send locally first, then to the primary:

More tomorrow. Still haven't had time to put the new proxy in place, also.
AFAIK, the proxy will pull the data from the last server you configured, so try reversing the order that the proxy reports to, I am pretty sure this is documented in the xymonproxy manpage. Hope that helps.

Thanks, I try that.

I believe this works!
So to summarize the solution is in tasks.cfg:
[xymonproxy] CMD $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonproxy --server=<main server IP>,127.0.0.1:1985 --listen=0.0.0.0:1984 --report=$MACHINE.xymonproxy --no-daemon --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.pid
[xymonfetch] CMD XYMONDPORT=1984 $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonfetch --log-interval=60 --server=127.0.0.1 --id=1 --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonfetch.pid
And the clients msgcache is on 1984 (I had tried moving it to 1985). The hosts.cfg of the proxy/secondary server has the pulldata field in the comments.
Oh, and I did put the CentOS 6/Xymon 4.3.21 in place, so this works for both 4.3.10 and 4.3.21.
Thanks for all the help.
Paul.
