Ok see, this is real similar to the problem I'm having, except I can't get it to work (Xymon 4.2.3). <br><br>My debian hosts are sending the following:<br><br><pre>client xxxx.xxxxx.org.linux linux
[date]
Tue Jan 10 15:20:35 EST 2012
[uname]
Linux <a href="http://xxxx.xxxxx.org">xxxx.xxxxx.org</a> 2.6.26-2-amd64 x86_64
[osversion]
Debian 5.0.9</pre>And the info page for that host is:<br><br><table summary="Host Information" width="100%"><tbody><tr><th align="left"><font>Hostname:</font></th><td align="left"><font><a href="http://xxxx.xxxxx.org">xxxx.xxxxx.org</a></font></td>
</tr>
<tr><th align="left"><font>OS:</font></th><td align="left"><font>Debian 5.0.9<br>
Linux <a href="http://xxxx.xxxxx.org">xxxx.xxxxx.org</a> 2.6.26-2-amd64 x86_64</font></td></tr>
<tr><th align="left"><font>Client S/W:</font></th><td align="left"><font><br></font></td></tr></tbody></table><br>but I have put a [debian] section in client-local.cfg and also in hobbit-clients.cfg and it is still looking for files defined under [linux]. <br>
<br>Our [debian] servers keep some files in a different location than our other Linux servers (Redhat) so the Debian servers get "File is missing" errors and I have to disable the test to prevent the warning from showing up. Not a good situation especially since we are in the process of convincing the admins of the Debian systems that it's ok to let us use Xymon to monitor their systems which they have been monitoring using Nagios :-(. <br>
<br>Am I missing something?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Steve Holmes<br>Purdue University<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 2:51 PM, Jamison Maxwell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jamison@newasterisk.com">jamison@newasterisk.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>No, you can have a per-machine specification in addition to the platform specification:<br>
<br>
<br>
The file is divided into sections, delimited by "[name]" lines. A section name can be either an operating system identifier - linux, solaris, hp-ux,<br>
aix, freebsd, openbsd, netbsd, darwin - or a hostname. When deciding which section to send to a client, Xymon will first look for a section named<br>
after the hostname of the client; if such a section does not exist, it will look for a section named by the operating system of the client. So you can<br>
configure special configurations for individual hosts, and have a default configuration for all other hosts of a certain type.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Larry Barber<br>

<div>Oops, mis-typed, and if I only wanted it for one host? Or is the only option to have all machines of that platform send that data despite it only existing on one system? I was under the impression that both types of specification, hosts and platforms
