I've got a Raspberry Pi running "Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)".

I'm able to apt-get install xymon-client Which installs 4.3.28-2, and I'm able to use the xymon 'ping' message to get an answer from my xymon server. Now I need to make the client work in local-config mode.

I've added the ip address and fqdn of the host in the hosts.cfg on my xymon server. It appears on the web page, and xymonnet tests work and are displayed. The host is not present in the 'ghosts' report.

I've figured out I can get the client to report fqdn by appending --hostname=foo.bar.com to xymonclient.sh in /etc/xymon/clientlaunch.cfg

I tried appending --local to the same line, but the client still does not seem to be doing anything for me. The user xymon has a couple of processes running: vmstat xymonlaunch the clientlaunch.log file contains a couple of lines:

xymonlaunch starting Loading tasklist configuration from /etc/xymon/clientlaunch.cfg

I can use the xymon command to explicitly send a 'status' message to the xymon server, and it is accepted and displayed.

Can anyone help me get this client running in local-config mode?
