[Xymon] bbdisplay missing default client columns

[Tarik Mecci]

Hi, on Xymon server 4.3.28 (Ubuntu 18.04) I've been battling with 2 
issues which I suspect may be related...

#1 The xymon clients are successfully sending data to the server, i.e. I 
see my custom clientlaunch extension script names received in the 
histlogs dir and as columns on the bbdisplay. However all the standard 
client checks (cpu, disk, procs etc) are missing from both histlogs and 
the bbdisplay. I know the Xymon clients are correctly sending everything 
because these clients (v4.3.28) were previously connected to an earlier 
version of bbd where everything worked. It's the same situation with the 
local xymon client running on the xymon server - no cpu, disk, procs etc 
but my custom client script columns are displaying. I do see clientlog 
data showing in the bbdisplay. Is the xymon server is supposed to 
receive clientlog data and parse this into these individual items (cpu, 
disk, procs..)? Could I be missing the task which is responsible for this?

#2 I have been successfully using criticalview.cgi in a previous xymon 
version to produce custom alert pages. Despite providing a suitable 
--config= file which should result in some host alerts showing in the 
output, I continually receive "All Monitored Systems OK". On my previous 
Xymon version this works as expected. Adding --debug flag has not helped 
me. I'm fairly confident it's not my --config= file format cos that 
works perfectly on the previous ver, and it matches the format of the 
generated critical.cfg.

My question... could these both be caused by the same issue, e.g. a 
missing env/config variable which I need to set?

Thanks!
