Your clients are not sending data to the Xymon server. If they did,
then the cpu, disk etc. statuses would show up right away.

Check the "Reports->Ghost clients" display to see if the hosts are
reporting with another name than what's in the hosts.cfg / bb-hosts
file.

And check the logfiles on the clients to see if there are problems
sending data over to the Xymon server.
