No, purple would indicate that it's not coming through. Blue indicates it has 
been disabled.

If you mean it is actually purple, then maybe you changed the hostname of the 
server from 'localhost' in bb-hosts, but didn't change hobbitserver.cfg and 
restart xymon?

Then my recommendation above is wrong, and the only possibility is that the 
client is running, but you said this is for the xymon server itself, which is 
nigh impossible.

With the information you have provided so far, your problem can't exist. Maybe 
you can be more precise in your explanation, and/or include the output of some 
'hobbitdboard' or 'hobbitdlog' queries.
