<p class=MsoNormal>Hi xymon/hobbit group<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Over the past couple of days, I have been trying to set up a
xymon with some success.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My setup so far. I have xymon 4.3.0.0 beta2 installed
and running on a Fedora 11 Virtual Machine (VMWare server 1.0.9) on a Windows
XP laptop. This xymon server appears to be working correctly with it
monitoring itself (bbgen, bbtest, conn, cpu etc) and happily doing connectivity
tests to some remote linux/aix servers that I have access to at work. So
far, so good.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I now want to do some client monitoring. Initially
starting with the in-built monitoring tools (cpu, disk etc), then to develop
some of my own scripts (korn/born shell) to monitor my Ingres
installations. To start off, I have installed xymon client on another laptop
which is also running Fedora 11 (on bare metal rather than via a VM). Although
the xymon server is happily pinging the client and showing green on the current
status, I do not seem to be able to get it to display any of the other data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On checking the client, I am getting “Whoops ! bb
failed to send message – timeout” every 5 minutes within
hobbitclient.log.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On further checking, I have found that although I can telnet
and ping from the server to the client, the client is unable to even ping the
server (via IP address) – it just hangs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Server to Client:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>[xymon@beziers etc]$ ping 192.168.1.69<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PING 192.168.1.69 (192.168.1.69) 56(84) bytes of data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>64 bytes from 192.168.1.69: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=5.74 ms<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Client to Server:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>[xymon@lecroisic client]$ ping 192.168.174.129<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PING 192.168.174.129 (192.168.174.129) 56(84) bytes of data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thinking it might be a firewall issue, I have temporarily
disabled all firewall protection on both client and server, and even disabled
the firewall on Windows XP (within which the VMawre Server is running the xymon
server) – but with no success.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This unfortunately is where my networking knowledge fails me
(and thus my plea for help!) and a Google search has not given me any clues
(that I can understand). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
