<b>Issue 1.</b> Credentials for Xymon Server's administrative web
pages is controlled by the web server software that's running on
your Xymon Server box. I use Apache. To accomplish your
requirement you first need to configure your web server to look for
.htaccess and .htpasswd files. If those files exist then it
requires a user/pass to be entered in order for the folder to be
accessible. Creating those files is easy, and defining the
credentials is also easy if you just need to make it private for
yourself with a single user/pass. But if you want to do more than a
few users you're gonna want to step up to a more dynamic method of
controlling the credentials because it can quickly get out of hand.
The result is that you can make some content 'public' and some
'private' because the content lives in password protected folders on
your server. <br>
<br>
Email me privately and I can assist you if you want.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Issue 2.</b> First we need to determine what sort of issue it
is. Server, Client, or Network.<br>
<br>
- Does the Server successfully receive any other Client's data?<br>
- Are the Client systems remote or local on the Server's IP network?<br>
- What OS are the new Client systems?<br>
- How did you install the 'xymon-client' on the new Client systems?<br>
- When you installed the 'xymon-client' were you at a console, SSH'd
in, or in a GUI?<br>
<br>
Your answers to these questions will point us to a resolution.<br>

Subject: [External] [Xymon] Xymon configs
Hello,
1. How can I configure a username and password for the administrative section of xymon. Eg. Having a username and password required to enable/disable alerts?
2. Currently only clientlog, conn,info and trends are showing as monitored for my linux clients. How can I have cpu,memory and disk show in the columns?
Can you assist
----
[1] Configuring a user/pass for a website is part of the webserver's job, and has nothing to do with Xymon.
[2] Assuming that you have the Xymon client installed on those machines that you wish to monitor, are configured correctly, they should be sending data back.
One area you can check on your Xymon website is the "Ghost Clients" page ( /xymon-cgi/ghostlist.sh ) to see if the clients are reporting back with a short hostname -vs- FQDN.
