The server has the hosts.cfg file, clients do not. It’s trying to access it. Without knowing what the script is doing, I can’t guess what’s happening.

Don’t take the list out of your emails. I don’t know all the answers. Others might.

Also for the local xymon client running on xymon server, the test is running fine. But not for the rest of the xymon clients.

Not able to understand why?

The “Could not connect to Xymon daemon at xymon-server-ip:1984 (Connection refused)” is kind of the giveaway.

Hi All,

I am using xymon 4.3.10. I have a server side external script in ~xymon/server/ext/. I have added an entry for the script in ~xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg as follows:

[test] ENVFILE $XYMONHOME/etc/xymonserver.cfg CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/test LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/test.log INTERVAL 6m

I have made an entry for the same in hosts.cfg as well. In browser, a new column is updated with this test name but nothing is being shown other than a horizontal line.

When i restarted the xymon server, i got this in my LOGFILE :

2013-04-17 16:14:02 Whoops ! Failed to send message (Connection failed) 2013-04-17 16:14:02 -> Could not connect to Xymon daemon at xymon-server-ip:1984 (Connection refused) 2013-04-17 16:14:02 -> Recipient 'xymon-server-ip', timeout 15 2013-04-17 16:14:02 -> 1st line: 'config hosts.cfg' 2013-04-17 16:14:02 Cannot load hosts.cfg from xymond, code 5 2013-04-17 16:14:02 Failed to load from xymond, reverting to file-load I am not able to understand the problem. Is there anything I had left?

Thanks and Regards,
