tcpdump running on either server or one of the clients should
confirm this... <br>

By default, but that can be changed in the configuration files.<br>
<br>
I'd suggest to review the config files on the server, starting with
the files modified most recently (as these will be the ones
customised for your installation). Check what port number the server
is listening on (netstat -an | grep LISTEN) and then use tcpdump to
monitor that port number, you will see the traffic/data reported
from the clients. If you see status on the web pages which you don't
see sent over this port, then you should check the config files
further to see what else has been changed/other data collection
configs.<br>
<br>

In the standard installation method, the server doesn't use
ssh to connect to the client and collect information. The only
connections the server initiates are the "network" tests, eg,
ping, smtp, http, etc... The client runs it's own client
installation package, which will collect all the local
information (disk space, processes running, network ports,
etc) and then send those to the server using the Xymon
protocol (extended from the original Big Brother protocol, but
still backwards compatible).<br>
<br>
There are numerous options available for altering that method,
including having the server use ssh to connect to the client
and collect the data at regular intervals.<br>
<br>
Also, all source code is available, so feel free to peruse
that for the ultimate finer details.<br>
<br>
