[External] Re: Errors after upgrade to 4.3.29

[Rothlisberger, John R.]

For the first part of your question - whether they can be seen from query from command line - I assume this is sufficient:
xymon 0 xymondboard|grep test.acc.com
test.acc.com|trends|green||0|0|0|0|0|||
test.acc.com|info|green||0|0|0|0|0|||
test.acc.com|sslcert|green||1561426921|1567772582|1567774382|0|0|127.0.0.1||green Fri Sep  6 13:21:49 2019
test.acc.com|http|green||1566753294|1567772582|1567774382|0|0|127.0.0.1||green Fri Sep  6 13:21:49 2019: OK

There are a few other tests but in general we suppress some tests we just don't need to see on the page.  These are all being picked up from the include directories as they do show up fine in the generated webpages.  The only odd behavior is the errors.  I will have to do some testing with the debug.

Thanks,
John

Hmm. This seems very strange. Are these hosts visible like normal in generated status pages, and via query to xymond from the command line?
Based on your exclusions there, I believe the only test you wanted to have present was the resulting 'sslcert'?

I just tested a descending directory structure and confirmed that something like "directory /etc/xymon/hosts.d/" should read into subdirectories properly.

Would you mind providing some xymond debug (-USR2) output during a hostfile reload or startup? It should list each file as it's reading it in.
