[Xymon] help with xymon client configuration

[Chris.Morris at rwe.com]

Is the xymond status displaying any "ghost" reports? This would indicate
that the client hostname does not match the one defined in the hosts.cfg
file on the xymon server!

	Hi J
	
	I do have the IP of the Xymon server in xymonclient.cfg on the
hosts which has the client installed. I have checked from the client if
the port, 1984 is open and it is.
	
	zeratul etc # telnet 89.22.97.130 1984
	Trying 89.22.97.130...
	Connected to 89.22.97.130.
	Escape character is '^]'.
	quit
	
	Unfortunatelly there isn't anything more the the "conn" "info"
and "trends" on Xymon server display. 
	
	I can't see anything relevant in the xymond logs.
	
	On the hosts which I have the client installed I have this:
	
	zeratul client # ps aufx |grep xymon
	root     10279  0.0  0.0   4452   756 pts/1    S+   12:32   0:00
|   |   |               \_ grep --colour=auto xymon
	root     10115  0.0  0.0   2048   512 ?        S    12:30   0:00
sh -c vmstat 300 2 1>./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul.10083 2>&1; mv
./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul.10083 ./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul
	root     10226  0.0  0.0   2028   504 ?        Ss   12:31   0:00
./bin/xymonlaunch --config=./etc/clientlaunch.cfg
--log=./logs/clientlaunch.log --pidfile=./logs/clientlaunch.zeratul.pid
	root     10263  0.0  0.0   2048   508 ?        S    12:31   0:00
sh -c vmstat 300 2 1>./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul.10231 2>&1; mv
./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul.10231 ./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul

		The only configuration required on the Xymon client is
the IP address of the Xymon server.  Typically, this is configured in
the file xymonclient.cfg, where you can set XYMSRV to the correct IP
address. 

		Then you start the client running, perhaps by an init
script.  The master Xymon client process is xymonlaunch.  If this isn't
running, then you won't get any local details (cpu, memory, etc).

		There are logfiles (on my system, in /var/log/xymon/)
that might help identify any problems.

			Hello
			
			I have just installed a fresh xymon server with
the latest xymon version. I have also managed to install the client on
some external host. Both are running fine and the monitoring page is
showing correctly.  However I haven't managed to find how can I
configure multiple checks on the client side, as for the single host I
have added all I have is "conn", "info" and "trends" columns. On the
host which is running the xymon client I have the following files which
you can see below:
			
			zeratul etc # pwd
			/home/xymon/client/etc
			zeratul etc # ls -la
			total 40
			drwxr-xr-x 2 xymon root  4096 2013-01-06 19:31 .
			drwxr-xr-x 8 xymon root  4096 2013-01-06 16:58
..
			-rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root   975 2013-01-06 16:58
clientlaunch.cfg
			-rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root 20959 2013-01-06 16:58
localclient.cfg
			-rw-r--r-- 1 xymon root  1850 2013-01-06 16:58
xymonclient.cfg
			
			I would like to enable at least cpu, load,
memory, disk etc ...
			
			Where can I make this available?
