[Xymon] Xymon clientupdate Issue

[Adam Bml]

Hi,

Currently in the process of setting up a new Xymon installation based on
Solaris 10 x86.

We’ve managed to compile and setup the server and clients fine, clients are
reporting into the main Xymon server without issue. We have however got
stuck on one problem.

When trying to auto-update the clients with a new version of the client it
fails. See below:

$ ./clientupdate --update=client_v3
2011-12-06 11:03:59 Whoops ! Failed to send message (Connection failed)
2011-12-06 11:03:59 ->  connect to Xymon daemon at 127.0.0.1:1984 failed
(Connection refused)
2011-12-06 11:03:59 ->  Recipient '127.0.0.1', timeout 15
2011-12-06 11:03:59 ->  1st line: 'download client_v3.tar'
2011-12-06 11:03:59 Cannot fetch new client tarfile: Status 5
tar: blocksize = 0

The client is however connecting to the Xymon server and sending alerts
without issue.

When I run the same command on the Xymon server to update its client, it
works fine.

I’m assuming it’s failing because it’s trying to contact 127.0.0.1, however
I can’t see where it’s getting this address from?! When the client was
compiled we gave the IP address of the Xymon server.

When I run a strings on the clientupdate binary I can see the following
entry hardcoded?!

~~~~~
XYMONSERVERIP
127.0.0.1
~~~~~

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adam
