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.

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.

Thanks a lot Ryan.
I found it. It's in xymonserver.cfg
