Hi, I have installed a xymon client on a CentOS 6 x64 server. Everything looks good except the fact that even the Xymon server receives data and its' page is OK(the client is there diplayed with its' short name) i have the same client displayed in Ghost Clients(this time with its' FQDN). I have checked on the client and i have too many files in xymon/client/tmp folder. It looks something like this:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 41 Feb 22 13:17 logfetch.otpproxy1.cfg -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 41 Feb 22 13:17 logfetch.otpproxy1.status -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35787 Feb 22 13:17 msg.otpproxy1.temenosgroup.com.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 37183 Feb 22 13:17 msg.otpproxy1.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 246 Feb 22 13:17 xymon_vmstat.otpproxy1.2637 -rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 246 Feb 22 13:14 xymon_vmstat.otpproxy1.temenosgroup.com.2597 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 246 Feb 22 13:17 xymon_vmstat.otpproxy1.temenosgroup.com.2681
It seems like the client is started al least twice.... How can I set it right? Regards, Traian.
Simple stuff first, do you have the client listed in ~/server/etc/hosts.cfg ?
A little clarification: ghost clients are generally clients that are sending data to the server, but the server is not configured to display them.

To use the shortname just change the CLIENTHOSTNAME variable to be the shortname, you can use whatever you want aslong as it matches with what you have in the main bb-hosts/hosts.cfg.

How did you install the client, manual compilation or from one of the RPMs that others have built?
If you did it manually then in your init script add --hostname=XYZ as a parameter to runclient.sh (this does appear to map to the MACHINEDOTS variable inside runclient.sh).

How did you install the client, manual compilation or from one of the RPMs that others have built?
If you did it manually then in your init script add --hostname=XYZ as a parameter to runclient.sh (this does appear to map to the MACHINEDOTS variable inside runclient.sh).

To use the shortname just change the CLIENTHOSTNAME variable to be the shortname, you can use whatever you want aslong as it matches with what you have in the main bb-hosts/hosts.cfg.

On all of our systems I force the client to use it's FQDN, in /etc/sysconfig/xymon I configure the CLIENTHOSTNAME variable to be the FQDN e.g. as part of our build script it runs:
sed -i "s/# CLIENTHOSTNAME=\"\"/CLIENTHOSTNAME=\"hostname -f\"/g" /etc/sysconfig/xymon

But the client seems to send the data report using the FQDN also and the server sees it like ghost client.
How can i do to prevent it.

Simple stuff first, do you have the client listed in ~/server/etc/hosts.cfg ?
A little clarification: ghost clients are generally clients that are sending data to the server, but the server is not configured to display them.

Hi,
I have installed a xymon client on a CentOS 6 x64 server.
Everything looks good except the fact that even the Xymon
server receives data and its' page is OK(the client is there
diplayed with its' short name) i have the same client
displayed in Ghost Clients(this time with its' FQDN).
I have checked on the client and i have too many files in
xymon/client/tmp folder.
It looks something like this:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 41 Feb 22 13:17
logfetch.otpproxy1.cfg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xymon xymon 41 Feb 22 13:17

It seems like the client is started al least twice....
How can I set it right?

Why are the FQDN named files owned by root? this would seem to indicate that root is running commands to output those files? xymon client should be running as the xymon user only. Is something else on your system starting up a second instance of the client?

What processes are running or have open files containing xymon...
ps -ef | grep xymon lsof | grep xymon
If any of those processes are not the ones you have started (or are running as root) then that is your culprit.

On all of our systems I force the client to use it's FQDN, in /etc/sysconfig/xymon I configure the CLIENTHOSTNAME variable to be the FQDN e.g. as part of our build script it runs:
sed -i "s/# CLIENTHOSTNAME=\"\"/CLIENTHOSTNAME=\"
hostname -f\"/g" /etc/sysconfig/xymonSteve

Simple stuff first, do you have the client listed in ~/server/etc/hosts.cfg ?
A little clarification: ghost clients are generally clients that are sending data to the server, but the server is not configured to display them.

What processes are running or have open files containing xymon...
ps -ef | grep xymon lsof | grep xymon
If any of those processes are not the ones you have started (or are running as root) then that is your culprit.

To be honest, I just use the FQDN in hosts.cfg, but when the FQDN is long enough that it doesn't look very pretty in the display, I correct it with the #CLIENT tag in hosts.cfg...

Simple stuff first, do you have the client listed in ~/server/etc/hosts.cfg ?

A simple ps -ef | grep xymon will show what xymon processes are running and which user is running them.
Look for 2 instances of xymonlaunch.

Why are the FQDN named files owned by root? this would seem toindicate that root is running commands to output those files? xymon client should be running as the xymon user only. Is something else on your system starting up a second instance of the client?

How did you install the client, manual compilation or from oneof the RPMs that others have built?
If you did it manually then in your init script add--hostname=XYZ as a parameter to runclient.sh (this does appear to map to the MACHINEDOTS variable inside runclient.sh).

To use the shortname just change the CLIENTHOSTNAME variable tobe the shortname, you can use whatever you want aslong as it matches with what you have in the main bb-hosts/hosts.cfg.

Do you have anything under Ghost reports on the xymon server?
Are the client and server on the same or different hosts?
Is the client pointing at the correct address and port for the xymon server
How do you know files are missing from ~/client/tmp directory .. what are you expecting to see there?
Have you checked the clientlaunch.log and xymonclient.log files for errors in ~/client/logs?

A simple ps -ef | grep xymon will show what xymon processes arerunning and which user is running them. Look for 2 instances of xymonlaunch.

Why are the FQDN named files owned by root? this would seem toindicate that root is running commands to output those files? xymon client should be running as the xymon user only. Is something else on your system starting up a second instance of the client?

How did you install the client, manual compilation or from oneof the RPMs that others have built?
If you did it manually then in your init script add--hostname=XYZ as a parameter to runclient.sh (this does appear to map to the MACHINEDOTS variable inside runclient.sh).

To use the shortname just change the CLIENTHOSTNAME variable tobe the shortname, you can use whatever you want aslong as it matches with what you have in the main bb-hosts/hosts.cfg.

Hi,
Do you have anything under Ghost reports on the xymon server? I don't have anything under ghost report.
Are the client and server on the same or different hosts? They are running on different hosts.
Is the client pointing at the correct address and port for the xymon server Yes it is pointing the correct address and port.
How do you know files are missing from ~/client/tmp directory .. what are you expecting to see there? When the client functioned(the test were green in xymon server) correctly i saw two more files there logfetch.clientname.cfg and logfetch.clientname.status.
Have you checked the clientlaunch.log and xymonclient.log files for errors in ~/client/logs? I see no errors.
Regards, Traian.

Possibly just queued-up mail. Run "mailq" on the Xymon server. If there's a big backlog of such emails, you can clear the messages but the method depends on the MTA you run. For postfix, you use the "postsuper" command to delete (or hold) messages with given queue IDs. The postsuper man page has an example of how to select messages to delete. Or do "postsuper -d ALL" to delete all of them.
