Nothing there but a few "sendto failed" lines

2016-11-03 17:18:11.401220 Sendto failed: No buffer space available

which are probably due to unreachable clients.

Blank loads - they have appropriate y/t axis and legend, but never any 
data.

This gives me

above the (empty) graph, and

below it. No 500 error, though.

-- This is probably unrelated, but xymond.log has a repeated

2016-11-03 21:40:28.037543 xymond servername MACHINE='i386' not listed 
in hosts.cfg, dropping xymond status

when there is no machine called 'i386'. There is one xymonclient on an 
OmniOS (solaris) machine, whose

% uname -a
SunOS Venediger 5.11 omnios-r151018-258cc99 i86pc i386 i86pc
%

has i386 - maybe the client picks the wrong field. But, as I said, 
probably not related to the blank graphs. Still searching for a clue...

Cheerio,
hauke
