Yup, I disabled it in clientlaunch and it works.

>Your symptoms suggest that you have a client instance "xymonlaunch --config=...client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg" as well as the server instance. However your "ps -ef|grep xymonlaunch" only shows one. So I'm puzzled how the clientlaunch.cfg file is being processed.

I think it runs from a service, as xymon-client is a seperate package.

I guess I’ll try that ☺ Thanks for pointing me right at the answer! Now I just have to figure out, why the new server is eating up 10 times more RAM than the old server, with the same amount of hosts monitored.

Is there any way to verify that this is indeed the case?
