Hi Don K,

That means that the configuration for tests is specified on the server. Like what procs or ports to check.
If you don’t use that it will take the default defined on the server.

You can test it by adding this to the ~xymon/server/etc/analysis.cfg file on the server:

HOST=hostname.localdomain
                PROC nonexistingfile

And then of course replace the hostname.localdomain with the hostname of your client(same as in the hosts.cfg file).
If you add this and the procs go red in xymon you are using a server side config.

Regards,

Frederik

Hi Frederik. Can you clarify what it means "works in server config mode" ?

Hello Don K,

Thanks for the suggestion but not the solution. If I remove the local parameter it works but it works in server config mode.

Is there anyone who has this local client working in the last xymon(4.3.7) version?

Regards,

Frederik Reenders

Hi. Not sure if this is going to help you, but did you make sure to remove the word "local" from the clientlaunch.cfg file and be sure to add your xymon server's IP address to the xymonclient.cfg file?

In our setup, we had the same issue where new clients weren't reporting anything to the xymon server until I removed the "local" from the file and verified the IP address.  As soon as we did that it worked almost instantly.

Good luck!

Subject: [Xymon] xymon local client not working

Hi,

I’m trying to get the xymon 4.3.7 version to compile a local client by running: configure.client
I answer client to the question server or client.
After all the other answers I run: make –s (like suggested).
Then I get this:

/home/root/xymon-4.3.7/xymond/xymond_worker.c:80: undefined reference to `locator_serverup'
xymond_worker.o: In function `net_worker_run':
/home/root/xymon-4.3.7/xymond/xymond_worker.c:292: undefined reference to `locator_init'
/home/root/xymon-4.3.7/xymond/xymond_worker.c:298: undefined reference to `locator_register_server'
/home/root/xymon-4.3.7/xymond/xymond_worker.c:317: undefined reference to `locator_serverdown'
/home/root/xymon-4.3.7/xymond/xymond_worker.c:312: undefined reference to `locator_serverdown'
../lib/xymonclient.a(timefunc-client.o): In function `gettimer':
/home/root/xymon-4.3.7/lib/timefunc.c:55: undefined reference to `clock_gettime'
../lib/xymonclient.a(timefunc-client.o): In function `getntimer':
/home/root/xymon-4.3.7/lib/timefunc.c:67: undefined reference to `clock_gettime'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../client/xymond_client] Error 1
make: *** [xymond-client] Error 2

I found on the internet somewhere that I have to set this variable: export LIBRTDEF=-lrt
Then add locator.o at the end of the var: CLIENTLIBOBJS in the lib/Makefile

When I compile, install and run the client it runs but never sends any data to the server. It does run okay for the rest.
When I start the bin/xymoncmd  and then bin/xymonclient.sh by hand it sends the status to the server.

When I compile the whole package(server and client) in SERVER config mode it’s work fine. So only not in the local client config.

Also found out the version 4.2.3 and older work okay with the local clientconfig. After this version the compile problems began an the local client doesn’t work anymore.

I’m running CentOS 6.2 x64 and installed all dependencies (pcre, pcre-devel, openssl, openssl-devel, openldap, openldap-devel, rrdtool, rrdtool-devel, gcc, make).

It’s not an option to compile the server client and then change the settings to local because the xymond_client is not compiled then.

Is the local client config suppose to work in the latest version?
Maybe I’m doing something wrong so any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Frederik Reenders
