I have both xymon and hobbit clients and I would like to upgrade the clients all to the same version of xymon. the ultimate goal is to upgrade to xymon from hobbit.
Because I have a mix of clients I need to know what is running where. Is there a way that I can tell what hosts are running what version of client short of logging onto each host and looking? Perhaps a report?
I know that there is a ghost client report. Is there a utility that I am missing that will give me this information? I have been searching and cannot find a way of doing this from the hobbit server itself.
Thanks, Flan
The client data should have a [clientversion] string. Something like this should show the version:
xymon --debug 127.0.0.1 'clientlog servername' | sed -n '/\[clientversion/,/^$/p'
My clients don't report a version (just a blank line) and I think that's because the version comes from clientupdate, and I don't have clientupdate setup (as I update using package management).
It would be nice (hint) if xymonclient.sh used "xymon --version" instead of "clientupdate --level" to get the version.

I will try this thanks for the info. Fair play to you sir. The only thing is that I am currently running hobbit. so the command would be
hobbit.sh --debug .... Am I wrong?
