Server showing Blue (and Linux agents not reporting)
Quick question,
I just stood up a new xymon server (latest release). There is a client running on the server, but most of the "checks" are showing blue. If you click on them, they show a green status (with blue background). Any thoughts on where I should check?
Also, we have configured one Linux agent. The agent seems to be alive and working, I can telnet to port the xymon port from it, but there is no data (it's acting like there is no agent.
Any thoughts?

On the server's info page? To see which tests are disabled, when, by who ...

The usual hostname differs from the name in bb-hosts? Have you check the ghost clients list?

There isn't any disabled tests listed either under the maintainance Admin page, nor the Hobbit Server Info page. (It is the hobbit server itself, that is showing blue tests for cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, procs) bbd, bbgen, bbtest, con, hobbitd, http, info, and trends all show green. THis indicates that data isn't coming through, although for the blue checks it is the hobbit server itself.
There is nothing listed in the hobbitd page, nor the ghost client report.
For the tests themselves they do not have the correct date.

No, purple would indicate that it's not coming through. Blue indicates it has been disabled.
although for the blue checks it is the hobbit server itself.
If you mean it is actually purple, then maybe you changed the hostname of the server from 'localhost' in bb-hosts, but didn't change hobbitserver.cfg and restart xymon?
- There is nothing listed in the hobbitd page, nor the ghost client report.
Then my recommendation above is wrong, and the only possibility is that the client is running, but you said this is for the xymon server itself, which is nigh impossible.
With the information you have provided so far, your problem can't exist. Maybe you can be more precise in your explanation, and/or include the output of some 'hobbitdboard' or 'hobbitdlog' queries.
