[Xymon] XYMON column not displaying [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi,

I have  a custom script running on my XYMON server. The following link shows the basic setup

http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/xymon-tips.html#scripts

As seen the server side script is essentially the same with the exception that I run a python script that returns a COLOR and RESULT. With a few slight modifications I can run this script from /ext and it echo's the correct results. So far so good.

Additionally, as I am running XYMON 4.3. I added a new section to the tasks.cfg file along with a NEEDS xymond that is not included in the [myscript] example from the attached link.

I updated the hosts.cfg file and added the new service against the IP address and name of a client server. NOT my monitoring server.

When I restart XYMON all seems to be running successfully. The Log file does not report any errors and as I said before with a few slight mods I can echo the correct results to the screen.

The issue I am having is that even though all appears to be doing its job the new column does not appear on my monitoring page. Any ideas?

Would appreciate the guidance.

Dennis
