[Xymon] Couple of questions on client data

[J.C. Cleaver]

>From a status page:

https://xymon.com/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=claudio.hswn.dk&SERVICE=conn

Click the History button, to:
https://xymon.com/xymon-cgi/history.sh?HISTFILE=claudio.hswn.dk.conn&ENTRIES=50&IP=192.168.20.1&DISPLAYNAME=claudio.hswn.dk

Click a convenient red/yellow dot, to:
https://xymon.com/xymon-cgi/historylog.sh?HOST=claudio.hswn.dk&SERVICE=conn&TIMEBUF=Mon_Dec_21_22:56:37_2015

Then scroll down and you should see a "Client Data available" link, to:
https://xymon.com/xymon-cgi/historylog.sh?CLIENT=claudio.hswn.dk&TIMEBUF=1450734721

Which should give you what was needed.

If there's *no* Client Data available anywhere on any links, make sure the
[hostdata] section is not disabled in tasks.cfg and that
--store-clientlogs is set properly in the options to xymond (by default,
it's "--store-clientlogs=!msgs"). You should see directories under
$XYMONVAR/hostdata/ by default.

Also, IIRC xymond_hostdata will by default skip storage when there's <5%
disk space free on the server it's running on.
