<FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>These are very helpful suggestions to use for troubleshooting. The “client data” page was showing something like<BR>
[collector:]<BR>
client server,name,ems,com.linux linux<BR>
<BR>
Which was clearly not respecting the “--class=suse-srvs” that was being applied to the startup script. <BR>
<BR>
I’ve tried starting the client now with: “./runclient.sh --os=suse-srvs start” which does adjust the OS value reported accordingly, but as there isn’t a “xymonclient-suse-srvs.sh” script the msgs just pile up in the ./tmp/ and are never delivered to the server. <BR>
<BR>
Any other thoughts or suggestions are welcomed.<BR>

What does your "client data" page show as your config class? It's the last word of the first line in the [collector:] section.<BR>
<BR>
I note that you show "-class" set to "suse-srv" but your client-local.cfg entry set to "suse-srvs" instead. Was that a typo in your email, or in your configuration?<BR>
<BR>
Also, the "--class" suffix has two dashes, and you listed only one.<BR>
<BR>
Also, after changes to client-local.cfg, you might need to kill the "xymond" process (it should restart automatically) to have the changes take effect.<BR>
<BR>
It should work for you. The man page for client-local.cfg states that only the hostname and OS name are used when matching the relevant section, and doesn't mention the config class. Despite this, I see posts indicating that people are using this. Indeed Henrik has said that it's actually the class that's matched, and the class defaults to the OS type. I think the doco needs updating in this regard.<BR>

We have a variety of servers in our environment which we’re looking to monitor with Xymon. I’ve recently built a Xymon server 4.3.7 and compiled some clients on our SUSE 9 machines. When running the clients they only seem to match the entries in the client-local.cfg file on the server for [linux] and not the custom entries which I created [suse-srvs]. I’ve tried launching the client with with —class=suse-srv but to no avail. I feel like I’m missing something, can anyone give me some feedback?<BR>
