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!

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!

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.

I was one of the original installers of this installation. In this case, we modified scripts and ran the client separately from $XYMONHOME/client
Start the client by changing to the $XYMONHOME/client directory and running, runclient.sh start
That should resolve your issue.

Thanks, James. That did solve the problem.
Just so I know, what script did you modify so that the client does not start up automatically on boot, and also, what file(s?) would I check to confirm that the client collection was not running if I should run across this again on a different host?
Thanks again...

Can you provide a screenshot of your bb.html (front page)?
You have a raid column that is going purple. The "raid script" I use to make the raid column was taken from Deadcat ages ago. Assuming you have the same script, the data is collected on the client and I believe the status is processed on the server.
