Hi John
| Do you have anything like '--status-senders' set for xymond in your | tasks.cfg file? If so, is this IP address listed?
No, I do not have anything like that in tasks.cfg. I haven't touched this file.
| Are you using multiple Xymon servers or should this ('0.0.0.0') be | whatever XYMONSERVERIP is set to in xymonserver.cfg?
There is no secondary xymon server but there is a big brother running. My task at the moment is to gradually retire big brother and move everything to Xymon but I still have a LONG way to go.
| When I had accidentally restricted access to our Xymon server, I | received errors such as 'connection refused'. In your case you get a | timeout, which tends to imply it is not connecting. If iptables and | selinux have been stopped, then I would check the settings in the | 'server/etc' files to ensure that your Xymon server is configured | correctly.
I haven't done anything like that in my case.
After running: $killall -9 xymond
The main xymon page gets updated but the xymond column is yellow. (???????) I am full of questionmarks.

That's not going to work. They both listen on the same port, which is impossible. If you want to, you can use an alternate port for Xymon and go that route.

Change the primary port, 1984 to a proxy. And move Big Brother to another port, and the new xymon to a separate port. Then the proxy forwards to those ports.

Xymon comes with a proxy.
You turn it on in tasks.cfg
First, set Big Brother to 1986, or something. Sorry, I don't know how to do that.
Second, set the xymon server to another port:
[xymond] ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg CMD xymond --listen=0.0.0.0:1985 --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.pid --restart=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-file=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.log --admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$XYMONSERVERIP --store-clientlogs=!msgs
You'll also need to have xymonnet go to the right place.
[xymonnet] ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD XYMONDPORT=1984 xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon-network.log INTERVAL 5m
And of course, the repeat process:
[xymonnetagain] ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD XYMONDPORT=1984 $XYMONHOME/ext/xymonnet-again.sh LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonnet-again.log INTERVAL 1m
I would guess that Big Brother has the same sort of deal.
Then set the proxy on port 1984:
[xymonproxy] ENVFILE /etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg CMD $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonproxy --server=127.0.0.1:1985,127.0.0.1:1986 --listen=0.0.0.0:1984 --report=$MACHINE.xymonproxy --no-daemon --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.pid LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonproxy.log

Thanks Paul but that's a bit too advanced for me. I'd rather use a different port for xymon for now at least.

Hi
Yes our BB does listen to 1984 and most likely that was causing the problems I've been having lately. Is it is easy to change xymon's port to something else? Could you please let me know which config file I have to change?
Thank you

I don't recall, but grepping the files for "1984" should turn it up pretty quickly.
