[Xymon] Nothing showing except CONN for one host

[Neal, Jonathan W]

You should check under Reports --> Ghost Clients to see if the system is sending in reports under a different hostname, or different fqdn than your bb-hosts is configured to be expecting.

------There is no ghost report in version 4.2 that I see.  I was looking to see if I could just download that CGI script but haven't been able to find it yet.

If it is, you can do one of a couple things:

1. on the client, add a --hostname host.example.com  to the list that starts your runclient.sh script and set host.example.com to whatever FQDN you have in your bb-hosts file

------I will look at this possibility if I can figure out if it is a "Ghost" client.



2. On the client's line in bb-hosts add the CLIENT option and define it as whatever the Ghost Client report shows it to be reporting as.

-----Again if I can figure out what it is trying to report as, I will look into this as well.


Other possibility is that there is a firewall (host based or otherwise) blocking that one client from connecting to your server on port 1984/TCP

------no firewall, I have a working machine on IP address away that is working just fine.

And final possibility is that the client is misconfigured and is trying
to send its reports to 127.0.0.1 or somewhere else.   Check the
~xymon/client/hobbitclient.cfg file (pretty sure that is what it was called back then)

-----I have already verified it has the proper IP in the hobbbitclient.cfg

Thanks for the input!
