Tim,

bbd is still a valid field; if the main xymond server is running there it
should be green. Does it change when you substitute 127.0.0.1 for the IP?


The server's local client report (the server's own disk/cpu, etc) is still
sent the same way as before: through the single xymonlaunch process
configured via tasks.cfg.

On the server the client should always report locally. You can edit
xymonlaunch.cfg by hand, but the better location to configure the client's
reporting destination is /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client. Can you see if
putting either the public IP or 127.0.0.1 there fixes the problem?

If not, can you send (off list) the output of
xymoncmd --env=/etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg env
and
xymoncmd --env=/etc/xymon-client/xymonclient.cfg env


Thanks...
