How to restore a check that was previously disabled
Hi,
I am using xymon 4.3.12. I previously had the ports check disabled in the hosts.cfg file using the defaults like:
0.0.0.0 .default. # NOCOLUMNS=ports
I have then subsequently removed this NOCOLUMNS entry for ports and have defined a check for a couple of servers straight from the example in the man page to check for SSH port being open.
The check has not reappeared in the xymon webpage and was wondering if there was anything special I need to do to "reactivate" it so xymon is aware that it should appear again on the webpage?
Thanks
Alex
You realize that ports is a client-side test, right? Do you have a client running on that machine, etc.?

Yes I do. When I check the full info coming from the hosts I do see the ports section in there with the full list of sockets. What I can't seem to get working is the display on the server and the subsequent filtering based on the rules I have denied.

It should show up automatically. Do you get anything from a
xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondboard host=<hostname> test=ports"
If you do, then the status exists - it
just doesn't show up on the webpage. Then the problem is with xymongen
not reading the correct configuration. Try "kill -HUP pidof xymond" to
force it to reload the configuration.
If there is no ports-status
data, then it is xymond_client that doesn't generate it. Try "kill -HUP
pidof xymond_client" to force a reload of the configuration.
