<p class="MsoNormal">Howdy, All!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re in the process of migrating our current Xymon 4.3.3 site to a new host (Solaris -> Linux) and upgrading to a new Xymon version (JC’s Terabithia RPMs:
<b><span style="font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:silver"><a href="http://xymon.sourceforge.net/"><span style="text-decoration:none">Xymon 4.3.28-1.el6.terabithia</span></a></span></b>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the wrinkles that has me stumped is that none of the hundreds of host “COMMENT:” tags is appearing on the new server’s pages!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Example:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the old server an entry like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> x.x.x.x hwap142 # COMMENT:"Batch App Server" // Displays a like this on the web page: hwap142 (Batch App Server)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">but the same line on the new server shows only: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> hwap142<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">---<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the associated test columns and colors are showing up just fine. Aside from the missing “COMMENT:” values, host entries appear as expected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Clue: for some reason mousing over the name of the host on the web page reveals the missing COMMENT: text!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Help!? <smile><o:p></o:p></p>
