The xymon client will use whatever it finds in the output of "uname -n". You can solve this in several ways:<div><br></div><div>1) Change the hostname in the hosts.cfg file to use the short name,</div><div>2) Add "CLIENT:shortname" to the hosts.cfg entry,</div>

<div>Hi Chris<br>
<br>
Hmm ... On your suggestion I went to "Reports" > " Ghost
Clients " and indeed I have that host listed there. Apparently
xymon reads the "short" host name, without domain name (fqdn).<br>
<br>
Thank you.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>Hi J<br>
<br>
I do have the IP of the Xymon server in xymonclient.cfg on the
hosts which has the client installed. I have checked from the
client if the port, 1984 is open and it is.<br>
<br>
zeratul etc # telnet 89.22.97.130 1984<br>
Trying 89.22.97.130...<br>
Connected to 89.22.97.130.<br>
Escape character is '^]'.<br>
quit<br>
<br>
Unfortunatelly there isn't anything more the the "conn" "info"
and "trends" on Xymon server display. <br>
<br>
I can't see anything relevant in the xymond logs.<br>
<br>
On the hosts which I have the client installed I have this:<br>
<br>
zeratul client # ps aufx |grep xymon<br>
root 10279 0.0 0.0 4452 756 pts/1 S+ 12:32

I have just installed a fresh xymon server with the
latest xymon version. I have also managed to install the
client on some external host. Both are running fine and
the monitoring page is showing correctly. However I
haven't managed to find how can I configure multiple
checks on the client side, as for the single host I have
added all I have is "conn", "info" and "trends" columns.
On the host which is running the xymon client I have the
following files which you can see below:<br>
<br>
zeratul etc # pwd<br>
/home/xymon/client/etc<br>
zeratul etc # ls -la<br>
total 40<br>
drwxr-xr-x 2 xymon root 4096 2013-01-06 19:31 .<br>
drwxr-xr-x 8 xymon root 4096 2013-01-06 16:58 ..<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 975 2013-01-06 16:58
clientlaunch.cfg<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 20959 2013-01-06 16:58
localclient.cfg<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 1850 2013-01-06 16:58
xymonclient.cfg<br>
<br>
I would like to enable at least cpu, load, memory, disk
etc ...<br>
<br>
Where can I make this available?<br>
