[Xymon] Multiple Issues with 4.3.17 install

[Neal, Jonathan W]

Anyone got any ideas about this?  The test does not show as disabled on the enable/disable page, but is still blue and doesn’t seem to update at all.  No xymond_rrd files are being created in /export/home/xymon/data/* anywhere.  If I do a ./xymon 0.0.0.0 "enable xymonems.xymond_rrd"  it doesn’t change it at all.  It is like the status is stuck somewhere, but I am not sure how or where.

No core file on the system.  I think there is something else odd going on.  I removed all the data that belongs to the xymonems host from /data/* .  I restarted the system and xymond_rrd is still blue, even though it isn’t even disabled any longer.  It’s like it can’t or doesn’t know how to update the status for it.  I watched the xymond status for from yellow to green after the restarted, but xymond_rrd never changed.

Look for a core file, then use gdb to get a backtrace. This will tell us what it is doing when it crashes.

I am unsure why it is even showing purple, but it definitely is and it keeps alerting on it.  If I drill down into a system I see data being graphed that is valid.  If I look at the processes on the system I see:

xymonems:xymon > ps -ef |grep xymond_rrd
   xymon 18720 18714   0 02:45:03 ?           0:00 xymond_channel --channel=data --log=/var/log/xymon/rrd-data.log xymond_rrd --rr
   xymon 18806 18720   0 02:45:12 ?           0:02 xymond_rrd --rrddir=/export/home/xymon/data/rrd
   xymon 18761 18719   0 02:45:04 ?           0:51 xymond_rrd --rrddir=/export/home/xymon/data/rrd
   xymon 18719 18714   0 02:45:03 ?           0:14 xymond_channel --channel=status --log=/var/log/xymon/rrd-status.log xymond_rrd

So to me it seems as if it is running.  What am I missing here?

I am coming from an early 4.2 install.  I merged my bb-hosts, hobbit-alerts.cfg and hobbit-clients.cfg files into the proper files in the new 4.3.17 install.  I also copied over the entire histlogs directory from data.   Currently xymon_rrd keeps dying and going purple with a Fatal signal error.
 
rrd-status log has this in it going back most of the day:

Xymond is also constantly going yellow and I again see that 0.0.0.0:1984 that is mentioned above:
