wrote:<br>> Or do msgs work only in the centralized mode ?<br><br>By default, msgs only works in centralized mode, and you define the<br>parameters in client-local.cfg on the server (as you have done). For<br>non-centralized mode, you must add "--local" into clientlaunch.cfg<br>after "xymonclient.sh".<br><br>Are you unable to use centralized mode for some reason? I can't tell<br>if you're trying non-centralized mode because centralized mode is not<br>working, or because of some other reason.<br><br>Assuming you'd want to get centralized mode to work, have a look for<br>the logfetch tempfile in $XYMONTMP (which is /tmp for me). The file<br>will be called "logfetch.name-of-server.cfg". Check that
the content<br>looks OK (same as the matching [servername] stanza from<br>client-local.cfg), and check that the timestamp is within 10 minutes.<br>[There's also a logfetch.name-of-server.status file that might contain<br>clues. Not sure of the format, so dunno how useful.]<br><br>If the logfetch tempfile is OK, try running logfetch against it and<br>see what it shows. Something like this:<br><br> sudo -u xymon /usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/logfetch<br>/tmp/logfetch.`uname -n`.cfg /tmp/test.status<br><br>It should show output for each entry in the .cfg file.<br><br>Cheers<br>Jeremy<br></font></tt><br><BR>
