Client data not showing up on display
I am still new to Xymon coming from a long time Big Brother user. I have my Xymon server up and running and working and I am systematically walking through my servers and resurrecting my Big Brother clients. The Big Brother clients are working fine so far but I am having an issue with one of them. The client is running but it looks like the data is not getting sent to the server. I am looking for a good how to that describes how to install the client on a machine or if someone has already moved from Big Brother to Xymon how did they handle the their client transition.
TIA

I didn't. All my big Brother clients continue to work just fine. It was a painless transition. If your Big Brother clients continue to meet your business needs, there is no reason to change them. (simply newer) != (automatically better)

John, Yes it has me baffled. Although the server can ping the troubled client and a client right next to that one is reporting just fine this one is not showing anything. I fired up iptraf and do see error messages that the xymon server can't reach itself. SO I am just doing some more digging.
Thanks for the comeback

Got this working. Figured out what I did wrong. I was editing a different instance on that server. It was my first one I ever did and I was editing the wrong version.
