xymonnet sending status to Xymon 4.3.0~beta2
Hi,
I am trying to send status messages from xymonnet (4.3.17) to another Xymon server still running 4.3.0~beta2.
Status messages are transferred via network, no errors are reported in the logfiles. However the status isn't updated on the receiving Xymon server.
Sending messages from bbtest-net (4.3.0~beta2) to the receiving server mentioned above works fine. Did the protocol changed between those versions or do you have any other ideas why it isn't working?
Best regards Thomas
Have you checked your ghost clients (on the server, "Reports" menu). In my experience, many times this is caused by the client reporting a name that doesn't match what's in hosts.cfg. If that's the problem, it can be fixed in the client side (command line override or just edit xymon.sh), or on the server side (with an alias in hosts.cfg).

thank you very much for your response. I've checked ghost clients and the log files and verified that packets are transferred on port 1984. Everything looks good. Unfortunately the status on the receiving Xymon server isn't updated or shown.
I've tested it the other way round, i.e. sending from the old version to the new one. This works fine.
Probably the protocol has slightly changed preventing the older version from accepting messages from Xymon 4.3.17.
Best regards Thomas
