[Xymon] Missing client memory test!?

[Mills,David (HHSC Contractor)]

Hey, all...

Have a puzzle to solve: we have a host (Solaris 10) running our tried-and-true version of Xymon (4.3.2) which is functioning just fine except for one test: the standard "memory" test.

It has worked fine in the past (I'm pretty sure!) but at some point we noticed Xymon isn't posting the "status" results for this test on the web page (it's a '-').

Debugging I've done so far:


*         On the client side, found the output file corresponding to "$MSGTMPFILE" / "$MSGFILE" used in the "xymonclient.sh" script. It _does_ contain valid data for the "[memory]" stanza:

[memory]

0 8 0 39549560 48447184 1039 3853 3934 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 20276 71323 29065 57 16 28


*         From this client, manually ran the command to post the data to the server:

$ ~xymon/client/bin/xymon <server IP> "@" < msg.hostname.txt
log:/var/adm/messages:10240

ignore %nxge0|nxge1|nxge4|nxge5|nxge0|107833



*         On the server, ran:

$ ~xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondboard host=hostname "
hostname|trends|green||0|0|0|0|0||0|
hostname|info|green||0|0|0|0|0||0|
hostname|files|clear||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|10.235.130.17|-1|clear Files status at Fri Nov  6 14:20:43 CST 2015
hostname|msgs|green||1434028386|1446841258|1446843058|0|0|10.235.130.17|-1|green System logs at Fri Nov  6 14:20:43 CST 2015

...

(The timestamps are current, matching the most recent version of the client file sent)


*         However, the "memory" test status is simply missing! For example, on the server:

$ ~xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondboard host=hostname fields=msg" | perl -pe 's!\\n!\n!gm' > out
$ grep '^status' out

status+30 hostname.ntp green <!-- [flags:OrdastLe] --> Fri Nov  6 14:19:58 2015 ntp ok

Note: no "memory" status line!

Help?

Thanks!
