<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I have a custom script running on my XYMON server. The following link shows the basic setup<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/xymon-tips.html#scripts">http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/xymon-tips.html#scripts</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As seen the server side script is essentially the same with the exception that I run a python script that returns a COLOR and RESULT. With a few slight modifications I can run this script from /ext and it echo’s the correct
results. So far so good.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Additionally, as I am running XYMON 4.3. I added a new section to the tasks.cfg file along with a NEEDS xymond that is not included in the [myscript] example from the attached link.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I updated the hosts.cfg file and added the new service against the IP address and name of a client server. NOT my monitoring server.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">When I restart XYMON all seems to be running successfully. The Log file does not report any errors and as I said before with a few slight mods I can echo the correct results to the screen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The issue I am having is that even though all appears to be doing its job the new column does not appear on my monitoring page. Any ideas?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Would appreciate the guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
