[Xymon] Status changing white to green in a loop

Hello,

@Dominique:
I can confirm there is only one xymonlaunch process strarted with a clientlaunch config.

@ Torsten:
Client data is available and starts with [collector:] and ends with UTC. 
In xymod.log there was truncated messages for two clients. I increased MAXMSG_CLIENT. Messages from xymod.log are gone, but the issue "white to green in a loop" is still there.

I have two servers configured - primary and secondary. The issue occurs only on primary. They are setup almost identically. On primary Xymon filesystem is occupying 362MB. On secondary 54M.


Regards,
Mariusz

Hi Marius,

this could happen if the client data is too big. Are you able to check the client data? Normally you find a link "Client data available" on the builtin checks (cpu, disk, inode, msgs etc.) that displays the file that has been transferred from the client to the server for further processing.
the topmost line should say [collector:] and the last line should contain the time in UTC. If the last line is missing then there is simply too much data that needs to be transferred from client to server.
Then you have to add/change MAXMSG_CLIENT to your xymonserver.cfg

First of course check your xymond.log if you see messages about files being truncated.
If changing the xymonserver.cfg is not an option you can always reduce the amount of data on the client side by editing the runclient.sh and filter some things there before they are written to the client file that is sent. But be aware if you do it that way you'll have to repeat it when you upgrade your client.

Regards,
Torsten
